M&K Sound IW300 – In-Wall Speaker

M&K Sound IW300 – IW Series In-Wall Speaker 1″ Soft Fabric Dome Tweeters 6.5″ Glassfibre Woofers Frequency Response: 80 Hz – 22 kHz, ±3dB M&K Sound IW Series Frameless Architectural In-Wall LoudspeakerThe IW300 features the same proprietary drivers and crossover as the famed Miller & Kreisel S300 Series. The unique design allows critical audio professionals to hear exactly what’s going on in the mix and listen for hours with no hint of fatigue. This is the ultimate choice for the music and cinema enthusiast seeking the finest In-Wall speakers available. The M&K Sound In-Wall LoudspeakerThe 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 their 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 fitted in the ceiling. Timbre MatchingThe 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 BoxesThe 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 sacrifice 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-fitted to the box, including metal clamps to fix speaker wire in the pre-cut cable groove on the rear of the box. Gold-plated 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, efficient, self-tightening dog ear clamp system for a perfect seal between baffle and wall. Invisible, Immersive and In the Right PlaceEver 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 their original satellite models and extensively modifies 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. M&K Custom Designed TweetersFlush-mounted in the steel baffle to eliminate reflections, M&K Sound’s custom designed tweeters raise the bar for speed, accuracy, reliability, build quality and performance. Based on M&K Sound’s proprietary aerodynamic flow control damping system, their exclusive tweeters provide extended frequency response for an absolutely seamless transition to the bass/mid drive units. Metal GrillesM&K’s Architectural frameless, low profile, metal mesh front grilles are a subtly elegant, virtually invisible element in any living space. The grilles can be painted to match the surrounding surface. For vibration-free mounting, the M&K In-Wall grilles are fitted with multiple rubber-coated neodymium magnets with more than enough strength for safe in-ceiling use.
