SNELL’S 3rd GENERATION IN-WALL LCR, A ZERO COMPROMISE

MUSIC AND THEATER MONITOR.

In 1990, Snell built the world’s first fully enclosed in-wall LCR. Like better freestanding monitor’s it had accurate, predictable bass, pinpoint imag- ing, detail, and startling dynamics. Unlike all open-backed in-walls it minimized sound leakage to adjacent rooms, and was a very competent alternative to bulky, obtrusive in-room speakers… and it smoked. Two generations later, Snell’s chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito reconfigured the 800 Series to feature the his famous D’Appolito Array. The Snell AMC 830 borrows the 5 1⁄4 D’Appolito Array from its in-room brother, the LCR7, which includes two very long excursion woofers mounted over and under a low resonance 1-inch silk dome tweeter. The result is a design which aligns the output from all three drivers to a single point, for remarkable clarity and soundstage. Other features include Snell’s three-layer baffle for re- duced wall resonance, and high order crossover for reliable hi-output use. Like all Snell speakers the AMC 830 is hand-tuned to match its reference master by .5dB.

AMC 830 specifications

The Snell Acoustics AMC 830 is a high-performance loudspeaker that exemplifies cutting-edge audio engineering and design. Renowned for its remarkable clarity and rich soundstage, the AMC 830 is engineered to deliver an exceptional listening experience for both music enthusiasts and audiophiles alike.

One of the standout features of the AMC 830 is its advanced driver technology. The speaker employs a 1-inch silk dome tweeter that ensures pristine high-frequency reproduction, allowing even the most intricate details in music to be heard clearly. The 6.5-inch woofer is designed with a robust motor structure and a lightweight cone, enabling it to produce deep, powerful bass while maintaining remarkable accuracy across a wide spectrum of frequencies.

The AMC 830 also incorporates innovative cabinet design techniques. Its enclosure is built using high-density MDF, which minimizes unwanted resonance and vibration. This rigid construction helps in achieving a clean sound reproduction without compromising the speaker's aesthetic appeal. The speakers are available in several finishes, ensuring they can seamlessly integrate into any room decor.

Another significant aspect of the AMC 830 is its sophisticated crossover network. The meticulously designed crossover system divides the audio signals between the tweeter and woofer effectively, allowing each driver to perform optimally within its designated frequency range. This results in a coherent soundstage with a well-balanced tonal quality.

The AMC 830 is also compatible with a variety of audio setups. With its relatively high sensitivity rating, the speaker can be easily driven by a range of amplifiers, making it a versatile choice for different audio systems. Whether paired with a high-end receiver or a more modest amp, the AMC 830 performs exceptionally well, making it a favorite among various audiophile circles.

Additionally, the AMC 830 features versatile placement options. Its rear-firing bass port design allows for flexibility in positioning while still delivering impactful low-frequency response. This makes it suitable for both small and large spaces, whether in a dedicated listening room or a casual living area.

In conclusion, the Snell Acoustics AMC 830 stands out as a speaker that combines innovative technology, stylish design, and exceptional sound quality. For those seeking an immersive auditory experience, the AMC 830 presents an impressive option that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning listeners.
