Jam Packed with High-End Speaker Technology

Monitor Audio has pulled off a trio of accomplishments with their W280-IDC in-wall speaker. Its three-way design provides smooth blending of its 8" woofer, 4" midrange, and 1" tweeter. They've mounted the tweeter and midrange driver together on a pivoting module, so you can direct sound towards you. And built-in woofer and tweeter output adjustments let you tailor the sound to your room. The W280-IDC is an excellent choice for a high-end in-wall stereo system, or as a left or right channel in a Monitor Audio home theater system.

High-Tech Drivers for Better Sound

One of Monitor Audio's hallmark technologies is their "C-CAM" driver material. It's a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components. It's super lightweight and strong, which allows the drivers to respond very quickly and precisely, for accurate sound.

All three of the W280-IDC's drivers are made from this material. The dome tweeter is even treated with an anodized layer of gold for smooth, extended high-frequency response

Easy to Access Controls

The front panel of the W280-IDC provides easy access to its sound control features. The 1" tweeter has a three-position output level switch which lets you cut or boost high frequencies — a valuable adjustment if you have reflective surfaces like hardwood floors or windows, or absorptive surfaces like thick carpets or upholstered furniture.

The W280-IDC also has a boundary compensation switch, so you can adjust low-frequency output if the speaker is installed near a corner, to prevent boominess.
