M&K Sound IW150T – HiFi Tripole In-Wall Surround Speaker Pair

M&K IW150T Tripole In-Wall Speaker The IW150T is the In-Wall equivalent of the famous S150T Tripole surround speakers. Incorporating the exact same drivers and crossover technology as the S150T sealed cabinet speaker, the IW150T delivers uncompromising performance from a less obtrusive form factor. Modern installations and new surround formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS X are incorporating more and more surround channels. In-Wall (and In-Ceiling) installations allow you to expand to take full advantage of these new formats without the clutter of visible wires or speakers. The Introduction of the IW150T Tripole Speaker means you can have the same M&K 150 Series Acoustic Performance from a completely invisible installation. The M&K Sound In-Wall Loudspeaker The M&K Sound Frameless Architectural In-Wall loudspeaker range consists of open baffle designs as well as sealed box versions of the brand’s popular satellite and on-wall models to provide wide flexibility in terms of applications and acoustic preferences. The series maintains the sonic integrity that has made M&K Sound a legend for over four decades. Unlike other In-Wall makers, M&K Sound employs the exact same drivers and crossover technologies found in our acclaimed professional and consumer reference monitors to deliver consistent sound coverage throughout the room for superior imaging in stereo and surround, even when the speakers are ftted in the ceiling. M&K Sound drive units represent the culmination of decades of intensely focused transducer innovation. Timbre Matching The ambitious goal of the latest M&K Sound Architectural In-Wall range has been to counterbalance the inevitable acoustic consequences of reducing internal volume to 20 – 30% of a normal cabinet, while preserving the celebrated neutrality, realism and musicality that are the signature of M&K Sound. This level of tonal consistency and timbre matching offers unique flexibility and the opportunity to mix and match speakers from across the entire M&K Sound line-up. M&K Sealed In-Wall Boxes The materials, acoustic properties, assembly and volume of every M&K Sound sealed box are all known factors during system design, so that the construction of the wall, the type of materials inside the wall and the volume of air behind the speaker all have no impact on final performance. It is this extreme level of control over the interaction of speaker and wall that makes it possible for M&K Sound to offer designer-friendly, invisible installation at no sacrifce in ultimate performance. M&K Sound back boxes of 18mm MDF are painted with black structure polyurethane lacquer for moisture resistant sealed surfaces. The sealed box also provides effective protection against dust, insects and vermin. Damping pads on the rear panel eliminate vibration when in direct contact with the wall in shallow installations. All mounting hardware is pre-ftted to the box, including metal clamps to fx speaker wire in the pre-cut cable groove on the rear of the box. Goldplated push-on terminals with +/- polarity markings allow easy cable connection without the use of tools. Torx mounting screws with special washers are used for smooth mounting along with a practical, effcient, self-tightening dog ear clamp system for a perfect seal between baffle and wall. Invisible, Immersive and In the Right Place Ever more complex surround formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS X and Auro create an increasing need for high performance, yet concealed loudspeakers to handle installations incorporating 9 – 11 channels and beyond with discretion and style. To deliver full-bodied performance from shallow, sealed enclosures, M&K Sound begins with the identical drivers used in our original satellite models and extensively modifes the crossover design to compensate precisely for the reduced internal volume bringing In-Wall response much closer to the frequency response of the original loudspeakers. Further revisions take into account practical considerations such as service access and, most critically, ensure easy, fast, accurate and safe installation. Simply mark the intended placement using the cut-out template enclosed with the speaker, prepare the opening, attach speaker wire, drop in the box, tighten screws and fit the front grille. Then, get ready to be blown away.
