The Monitor Audio CP-IW260X is a luxury in-wall LCR loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional audio performance in discreet installations. Featuring a closed-box design, it ensures consistent, high-fidelity sound regardless of wall construction, making it ideally suited for home cinema or high-end multi-channel audio systems. Its three-way, five-driver array combines Monitor Audio's acclaimed driver technologies in a symmetrical layout for superior precision and acoustic balance.
Engineered with a rigid cast polymer enclosure, the CP-IW260X guarantees long-lasting performance and reduced resonance. The sealed back box design provides an ideal acoustic environment for its drivers, maintaining sonic integrity while reducing sound leakage between rooms. The speaker employs a sophisticated five-driver configuration (B-M-T-M-B) with dual 6.5" C-CAM bass drivers, dual 4" C-CAM midrange drivers, and a centrally placed Gold Dome C-CAM tweeter. Its grille is supplied pre-fitted. It is important to note that it should not be painted, as spare scrims are not provided. The use of Tri-Grip dog-leg fixings ensures fast, secure installation.
