The Monitor Audio W3M is a high-performance, medium-sized Tier 3 in-wall LCR loudspeaker, engineered for installations where uncompromising sound quality is required. Featuring a three-way design with dual RDT III bass drivers, a C-CAM midrange driver, and the advanced MPD II transducer, it delivers precision, power, and clarity across the full frequency spectrum. Drawing on acoustic innovations from the flagship Platinum Series 3G, the W3M represents a new benchmark for architectural loudspeakers.
The W3M combines cutting-edge driver technologies with a robust and unobtrusive installation profile. Finished in matt black with orange and green detailing, it offers a distinctive aesthetic while maintaining durability. The slim frame and magnetic grille ensure seamless wall integration, making it ideal for LCR (Left, Centre, Right) home cinema and high-end audio installations. Its Quik-Link cable connector streamlines wiring, while the evolved Tri-Grip II system guarantees secure and reliable installation, even in demanding environments.
