Applications


The W2M is versatile, suitable for:

Home Theaters: Its comprehensive frequency response and high power handling make it perfect for immersive surround sound setups.

Multi-Room Audio Systems: The W2M can deliver consistent, high-quality sound throughout a home or commercial space.

Commercial Spaces: Ideal for environments like retail stores, restaurants, and conference rooms, where high-quality audio is essential for ambiance and communication.
Three-Way Driver Configuration

The W2M's three-way design is key to its superior sound reproduction capabilities. This configuration allows each driver to focus on a specific portion of the audio spectrum, ensuring accurate and detailed sound output across all frequencies.

Dual 5" RST II Bass Drivers


The W2M incorporates two 5" bass drivers using RST II (Rigid Surface Technology) cones. These cones feature a unique dimpled pattern, enhancing rigidity and reducing distortion. The RST II technology helps produce deep, impactful bass without compromising the clarity of the midrange and treble frequencies. The bass drivers are responsible for delivering the lower end of the frequency spectrum, providing a solid foundation for the overall sound.

3" RST II Midrange Driver

The 3" midrange driver also employs RST II technology, specifically designed to handle the critical midrange frequencies where vocals and instruments are most prominent. This driver ensures that these frequencies are reproduced with exceptional clarity and detail, allowing for a rich and natural sound experience. The dedicated midrange driver is crucial for separating the different elements of the audio, ensuring that vocals are crisp and instruments are well-defined.

C-CAM Tweeter with UD Waveguide II

The high-frequency range is covered by a 1" C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) tweeter, known for its light weight and rigidity. This tweeter is equipped with a UD Waveguide II (Uniform Dispersion Waveguide), a refined version of the technology that enhances the dispersion of high frequencies.

The Waveguide ensures a wide and even spread of sound, reducing off-axis frequency response issues and delivering a more immersive audio experience. This setup provides clear and detailed treble, crucial for accurately reproducing high-pitched sounds.
Acoustic Performance

Frequency Response: The W2M has an impressive frequency response range of 40Hz to 35kHz, covering the full spectrum of human hearing. This wide range allows the speaker to handle everything from deep bass to the most subtle high frequencies, making it versatile for all types of audio content, from music to movie soundtracks.

Sensitivity: With a sensitivity of 87 dB, the W2M is efficient at converting power into sound, ensuring high output levels without requiring a highly powerful amplifier. This makes the speaker both powerful and economical in terms of energy consumption.


Power Handling and Impedance

Power Handling: The W2M can handle a substantial amount of power, with a recommended amplifier power range of 45W to 180W and a peak power handling capacity. This allows the speaker to perform well at both lower and higher volume levels, delivering consistent audio quality.

Impedance: The nominal impedance is 6 ohms, with a minimum impedance of 4.7 ohms at 20 kHz. This specification ensures that the W2M is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, providing flexibility in system integration.


Quik-Link Connector

The W2M features the Quik-Link connector, a proprietary solution by Monitor Audio that simplifies the connection process. This connector allows for quick and secure attachment of the speaker wires, making installation faster and more reliable. It is particularly useful for professional installers who require efficient and dependable connection methods.

Tri-Grip II Mounting System


The Tri-Grip II mounting system provides a secure and stable installation. This system utilises a three-point clamping mechanism, which locks the speaker firmly into place within the wall cavity. This method not only ensures a tight fit but also minimises vibrations, preventing audio distortions that could arise from loose fittings. The design is straightforward, allowing for easy installation while maintaining a firm hold, ensuring the speaker remains securely positioned.
Monitor Audio Creator Series In-Wall Speakers are designed for high-performance, discreet audio integration into any living or commercial space. The series includes various models, each featuring advanced technologies such as C-CAM drivers and IDC technology for exceptional clarity and dynamic range. These speakers are ideal for both stereo and surround sound applications and are perfect for delivering high-fidelity audio in home theaters, multi-room systems, and commercial environments.
