Monitor Audio CP-IW460X In Wall Speaker Black

For over forty years Monitor Audio have been building global acclaim for their award-winning speaker lines, continuously fine-tuning their technologies to create generations of gorgeous hi-fi and home theatre speaker systems, as well as an evolving range of flush-mounting architectural speakers designed to offer the perfect union of great sound and near-invisible installation.

The task of squeezing high sound quality from a speaker small enough to be concealed within a wall or ceiling is usually beset with compromises, but for the Controlled Performance CP-IW460X in-wall design Monitor Audio have overcome the challenges of scale to deliver the natural, full-range audio energy you'd expect from a free-standing high-end box. In a leap of engineering ingenuity, Monitor Audio have distilled the know-how driving their flagship hi-fi speakers into a super-compact in-wall format, so that dedicated music lovers and home theatre fans can enjoy the right, detailed, high-impact dynamics they crave, from a speaker that physically disappears in the room.

The Sound of A Big Speaker From a Stealthy One

The luxury CP-IW460X in-wall speaker combines Monitor Audio's latest drivers in a compact three-way, five-driver configuration, built into a closed-box design to deliver optimum audio performance.

High Tech HF Driver

The range-topping CP-IW460X employs a version of the high frequency C-CAM ribbon transducer deployed by the acclaimed Gold and Platinum ranges. Being extremely light and with no break-up modes, the ribbon delivers extraordinary detail beyond an ultra-sonic 50 kHz to reproduce perhaps the most neutral and natural high frequency performance available from any in-wall speaker design.

Bass and Mids

Further down the frequency spectrum, bass and mid frequency fidelity is preserved by the latest 'dished' cone drivers. The cones are formed from a continuous sheet of C-CAM for a larger, more rigid radiating area, and with large motors, 'underhung' voice coils and a robust die-cast alloy chassis, the dished cone design delivers exceptionally low distortion and efficiency for deep, clean, dynamic bass and a wonderfully open and expressive midrange.

Controlled Performance Back Boxes

The CP-IW460X is fitted with an acoustically sealed cast-polymer back box, which prevents the sound from leaking into the wall cavity. With this single enhancement consistently high audio quality is guaranteed wherever the CP-IW460X is installed.

Simple To Install, Easy To Love

The ten-position Tri-Grip mounting system provides easy and secure installation, and when installed the CP-IW460X can be fine-tuned with room acoustics through individual HF/midrange frequency controls and boundary compensation switching. Paintable trimless grilles are attached with powerful rare earth magnets for easy access, and offer impeccable coordination with wall surfaces to complete the unity of acoustic and aesthetic design perfection.
