Painting

The grille and frame of the speakers may be easily painted to match your décor. It is best to paint the frame and grille separately. Remove the speaker grille and use the paint mask (the center section from the cutout template) to protect the drivers and baffle. Paint the grille separately and let it dry completely before reinstalling it.

Automatic Tweeter Protection

The HD series speakers can be safely used with any receiver rated above 20 watts per channel. There is little advantage in using more power than 100 watts per speaker, but receivers above this power rating can be used so long as the receiver is not operated at distorted levels.

To protect the tweeter, a self-resetting circuit breaker is incorporated into the crossover network. If the speaker is overpowered for an extended period, this circuit breaker will open and the tweeter will be disconnected. When the volume is reduced or the overload has passed, the circuit will reset and normal operation will be restored.

Enclosure Cleaning

The speaker grilles and exposed rim can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth or mild cleaner.

Brush or vacuum the grille panels with a soft brush attachment to your vacuum cleaner.

Warning About Excessive

Amplifier Distortion

Operating a receiver (of any power rating) beyond its maximum undistorted output level creates distortion – added high frequency sound not part of the musical program. Distortion dramatically increases the internal operating temperature of a speaker and will eventually cause the speaker’s failure due to burned or melted internal parts. While Cambridge SoundWorks includes the most heat-tolerant parts commensurate with good acoustic design, the speaker’s Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship does not apply to parts that fail from long-term operation at very high temperatures.

MC650-IW, MC630-IW specifications

Cambridge SoundWorks has long been synonymous with high-quality audio products, and their MC630-IW and MC650-IW in-wall speakers are no exception. Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality while seamlessly integrating into any home environment, these speakers are engineered for both audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The MC630-IW is a 6.5-inch in-wall speaker that showcases Cambridge SoundWorks' commitment to premium sound. It features a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer that provides powerful bass response, while the 1-inch silk dome tweeter ensures clear and crisp high frequencies. The combination of these driver components results in a well-balanced sound profile suitable for any music genre or movie soundtrack. Additionally, the speaker's frequency response ranges from 50Hz to 20kHz, allowing for deep bass without sacrificing clarity in the highs.

On the other hand, the MC650-IW takes things a step further with its larger, 8-inch woofer, delivering even more depth and richness in sound. This model also incorporates a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, similar to the MC630-IW, but its enhanced driver specifications allow it to reproduce deeper bass frequencies, making it perfect for home theater setups where explosive sound effects are prevalent.

Both models incorporate Cambridge SoundWorks' proprietary design technologies, including a robust enclosure that minimizes distortion and enhances audio fidelity. This is particularly important for in-wall installations, as it helps to eliminate unwanted vibrations that can muddle sound output. Furthermore, the speakers are designed to be paintable, allowing homeowners to customize the look to match their décor.

Installation is also a breeze with the MC630-IW and MC650-IW speaker systems. Their simple mounting system ensures that they can be integrated into existing walls without hassle. Each speaker is engineered with a wide dispersion pattern that allows sound to fill the room, making them suitable for both music listening and immersive movie experiences.

Combining sleek aesthetics with cutting-edge audio technology, the Cambridge SoundWorks MC630-IW and MC650-IW in-wall speakers exemplify what modern audio design should achieve. Whether you're looking to elevate your home entertainment system or create a subtle background atmosphere, these speakers offer stellar performance that meets the demands of any audio enthusiast. Both models are powerful, versatile, and designed to deliver a superior listening experience, making them ideal choices for anyone looking to enhance their home audio setup.
