About The Monitor Audio CP-IW460X In-Wall LCR Speaker
Using Monitor Audio's finest drive units, the CP-IW460X is a true reference quality in-wall speaker.
Regardless of interior ceiling or wall construction, the Controlled Performance range guarantees sonic consistency. All models are fitted with fully sealed back boxes, providing an ideal air load for the drivers and optimising audio performance. These rigid, mineral filled enclosures reduce the sound from the back of the cabinet by around 15 to 22 dB. This range guarantees excellent audio quality and versatility, for superior levels of sound isolation between rooms and floors.
The CP-IW460X In-Wall design has overcome the challenges of scale to deliver the natural, full range audio energy you would expect from a free-standing high-end box. In a leap of engineering ingenuity, Monitor Audio have distilled the know-how driving their hi-fi speakers into a super-compact In-Wall format. Dedicated music lovers and home theatre fans can enjoy the rich, detailed, high-impact dynamics they crave, from a speaker that physically disappears in the room. This full size models can be installed in vertical or horizontal orientations, with the high frequency ribbon transducer of the CP-IW460X designed to rotate 90° to suit the chosen speaker placement.
An Audiophile Quality Speaker - In Your Wall: Utilising a high quality, cast polymer enclosure and high-end Monitor Audio 'dimpled' drive units, the CP-IW460X gives audiophile levels of sound from a very discreet design. Use it in a top-notch multi-room installation or as a concealed speaker setup in a multi-speaker home cinema system.
3-Way Design & High Power Handling For Full-Range Dynamics: Although best used with a subwoofer for the ultimate movie dynamics, the 3-way design makes this a genuine full-range speaker. Dedicated twin bass units give a powerful sound, right down to 50Hz - about the same as a small floorstanding speaker. With a power rating of 150 watts, the CP-IW460X is also easily able to handle hefty AV receivers.
RST 'Dimpled' C-CAM Cone Technology For Life-Like Sound: Monitor Audio use innovative RST (Rigid Surface Technology) to provide speaker cones that are as light yet rigid as possible. The distinctive 'dimpled' look achieves the best balance, giving exceptional precision and accuracy of sound. The cones are supported within a die-cast alloy chassis, giving the ultimate level of support for reduced distortion.
C-CAM Ribbon For A Super-Smooth Treble Response: Usually the preserve of high-end hi-fi speakers, ribbon tweeters provide a super-smooth response that allows you to hear every detail. Monitor Audio's unique design uses an ultra-thin sandwich of C-CAM alloy, for a super-fast and efficient response. Ideally suited to High Resolution audio, the CP-IW460X's top end audio response is of genuine reference quality.
Discrete, Low-Profile Design: Despite its broad, enveloping sound the CP-IW460X is a highly discreet wall speaker. The unique Tri-Grip fixing system is not only easy to install but also offers a superior fit, compared to conventional clamping systems. The magnetically attached grille is finished in white but is also able to be painted in your choice of colour.
For the best sound possible from an in-wall speaker the Monitor Audio CP-IX460X sets the standard for others to follow.
