A Few Words about In-Wall Loudspeakers

The AudioSource IW Six loudspeaker is designed to accurately reproduce high fidelity music, including today’s demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall or ceiling itself, and the space behind it, actually becomes the speaker cabinet. Mounted flush to the wall, the speakers require absolutely no floor space. The frames and grilles may be painted to blend with the decor. The discreet compact format makes the IW Six ideal in many applications for which traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible. The IW Six speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music to additional rooms of the house. They are especially suited to enhance and enrich home theater systems.

Speaker Placement

Once installed, in-wall speakers are not easily moved or repositioned. Take a little time to carefully consider the best speaker locations before you begin. Because each room is unique, decide what works best for you. Unlike traditional speakers, in-wall speakers mount flush and cannot be angled or aimed into the listening area from the corners of the room. As a general rule, when mounted in a vertical wall, the speakers should be close to ear level, and at least one-third of the distance from the corner to the center of the room. When mounting the speakers into the ceiling, keep in mind the position of the listeners, and place the speakers appropriately for maximum coverage. The tweeter is center-mounted, assuring clean crisp mid and high response.

A mounting depth of three inches, measured from the face of the wall, is required. For the mounting hardware to work properly, also allow at least one-and-a-half inches of clearance between the cut-out and any studs or joists. The speaker location and associated mounting hardware should not conflict with any existing wires or pipes.
