Monitor Audio CP-IW260X In-Wall Speaker

No Compromise Three-Way, Five-Driver In-Wall Speaker

The luxury Monitor Audio CP-IW260X in-wall speaker combines Monitor Audio’s latest drivers in a compact three-way, five-driver configuration built into a closed-box design to deliver optimum audio performance. Use it in either portrait or landscape orientation for a no-compromise hi-fi, home theater, or distributed audio system using the highest quality architectural speakers.

The CP-IW260X features Monitor Audio’s signature C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium) cone material deployed in dual 6.5" bass drivers and twin 4" midwoofers flanking a Gold Dome tweeter in a symmetrical ‘B-M-T-M-B’ configuration. The cast polymer cabinet is designed to provide high degree of rigidity and acoustic damping properties. The integrated back-box provides rear sound isolation resulting in the ‘controlled performance’ of the Monitor Audio CP speaker series.

The CP-IW260X boasts high overall efficiency and maximum SPL for powerful home theater installations, in addition to its high power handling of 150 Watts RMS. The high-end crossover design features low loss inductors and audiophile-grade polypropylene capacitors.

The Myth-Buster In-Wall Speakers

"In-wall speakers can have a preconceived performance ceiling on them, with customers thinking they are a compromised experience. These speakers from Monitor Audio go a long way to dispel that myth," observes ohn Sciacca, residentialsystems.com, April 15, 2019.

"The opening vocals of Sia’s 'Straight for the Knife' from her album 1000 Forms of Fear has wonderful space and depth, and the 260Xs delivered the subtle reverb in the recording, her voice breathing into the room and then lingering before decaying and disappearing. The speakers are also capable of producing massive envelopment and spaciousness. 'Video Games' by Lana Del Rey has a soundstage so immense and wide that it sounded as if I had surround speakers positioned around me."

Installation Features

Designed for installation simplicity, the CP-IW260C uses a patented Tri-Grip fixing system that is easier to install than conventional clamping systems while also providing three times the surface area and improved sealing. The Trim-less, low profile magnetic grilles provide attractive, discreet visual aspect and easy installation and servicing.

"The imaging remained just bulls-eye spot on, locking the lead vocals to the center of the room, floating clearly a few feet ahead of the wall, loud, clear, and easily understandable."
