The Monitor Audio CP-IW460X is a luxury in-wall LCR loudspeaker designed for high-performance home cinema and multi-channel audio systems. Part of Monitor Audio's Controlled Performance (CP) range, it combines cutting-edge driver technologies in a compact three-way, five-driver closed-box configuration, delivering superior sound quality with remarkable precision and power. Its design ensures consistency across varying wall types while minimising sound leakage, making it an ideal choice for demanding installations.
The CP-IW460X is built with a robust cast polymer enclosure and a die-cast aluminium baffle, providing rigidity and strength while reducing resonance. The sealed back box delivers consistent driver performance while preventing rear sound leakage, improving isolation between rooms. Its driver array is configured in a symmetrical B-M-T-M-B layout, featuring dual 6.5" C-CAM bass drivers and dual 4" C-CAM midrange drivers with RST cone technology, flanking a high-frequency air motion ribbon tweeter for highly detailed, extended treble. The supplied grille should not be painted, as replacement scrims are not available.
