Premier Series IW-J7
IN-WALLVERSION OF OUR J7,PERFECTFOR MUSICAND HOMETHEATER
The IW-J7 is Snell’s J7 monitor, re-engineered for flush-mount use. As you would expect, many of the features developed by Snell over the past 30 years, are in full use. To achieve the performance capabilities of a freestanding monitor, this new design overcomes the three factors limiting all in-wall speakers. First, to insure predictable response, regardless of placement or wall type, the IW-J7 has been designed with an integrated and sealed, aluminum enclosure, which, like all conventional loudspeakers, determines the speaker’s bass response. Second, superior materials are used in the IW-J7 to control resonance. Where other in-walls are open-backed and made of plastic, we mount our J7 drivers to a specially damped MDF baffle, constructed in three layers to enhance bass/midrange clarity and deaden wall resonance. The baffle secures to a well-damped, heavy gauge aluminum enclosure. Third, most flush mount speakers cannot reproduce a proper soundstage. To assure the spatial realism found only in high-performance monitors, the IW-J7’s low-resonance, silk dome tweeter has incredible dispersion, well into the voice range. For enhanced performance a new crossover was designed to “tune” the IW-J7 to its in-wall boundary, and uniquely extend bass in a small volume cabinet. The precision crossover is hand tuned to guarantee performance to within a remarkable 0.5dB of the Reference Master.
