In Wall Speakers

Welcome to our site! Here you’ll be able to find info on what to do and what not to do when choosing in wall speakers for your home. They are the perfect thing to add if you are looking to build a good home entertainment system. With in wall speakers, you add a nice touch to your experience that you just can’t replicate when watching a movie, listening to music or playing video games.

Some of the best selling speakers are in wall speakers, the reason being because they now provide performance that is on par with other speakers while looking great in your home and blend well into its environment. Don't worry about giving up audio quality because these speakers work great and are worth the time.

The quality of in wall speakers are now good enough to be considered in most home entertainment systems. Here are some basic things you should check for when looking to buy yourself a pair of in wall speakers for your home so that you can enjoy that movie, or music even more than before.

In wall speakers are much like regular speakers but there is one huge difference, they go into your walls. Don't worry about them looking bad either, because pretty much all in wall speakers come with paintable grills so that they'll completely match the color of your walls and blend right in. They also usually have a rectangular or circular shape. The biggest thing people worry about when searching for a pair of in wall speakers is where they are going to put them. The problem is, most people tend to put more than two speakers around the room so this may be an issue. So make sure you get the measurements down for each in wall speaker you are currently looking at. Find out if they'll fit inside your walls.

Another few things you'll want to check is the frequency, power handling, and the sensitivity of each individual speaker. These can greatly affect your listening experience depending on what type of movie or music you are listening to. For frequency, try to find a setup that has 50-20,000 Hz. The human ear can hear generally only from 20-20,000 Hz. So the lower the frequency your speakers have, the more of a deep bass and balanced sound you will hear. For power handling, make sure you are never feeding more power to your speakers than they can handle. For example, don't route 300 watts of power through speakers that can only handle a maximum of 200 watts. This will cause them to wear out prematurely and you'll probably blow your speakers. But generally, the higher the power, the better. Just try to stay within a reasonable range of power. For speakers, the higher the sensitivity, the better. Speakers with a higher sensitivity can play louder music without straining your amp as much.

One other big feature of in wall speakers you should pay attention to is if the speakers have swiveling tweeters, bass and treble tone controls, and moisture resistance. Some in wall speakers will have swiveling tweeters which allow you to angle the sound toward a preferred spot in your room. This greatly affects the quality of the sound you are hearing if they are pointed to the right position. Bass and treble tone controls give you the luxury of being able to tune and tweak the sounds coming from them after they have been installed into your walls. While having moisture resistant speakers will greatly reduce the wear and tear on them if they are placed in a humid area such as a bathroom or your kitchen.

So there you have it, the basics of what to look for if you are in the market for a set of in wall speakers for your home entertainment system. Make sure you take your time to shop around for the best deals and get the perfect speakers for your maximum enjoyment.

In wall speakers are great because when they are up on the wall, they are higher up and the sound is able to resonate throughout the whole room, creating a greater listening experience. I have four wall speakers in my living room and there is nothing better than watching a movie and getting the full surround sound with my in wall speakers.

In wall speakers are also a beautiful decoration as they blend in with the walls and make your home look more modern. It is advised to get professional help when installing these speakers as it is quite difficult and you may accidently damage your walls if you were to do it alone.

Some of the greatest in wall speakers are made by Triad, Dynaudio and Genelec. Some other good brands include Polk Audio, Sonance and Definitive Technology.  We’ll take a look at the best speakers in the market so far:

Definitive Technology UIW RLS II – Uses a pure aluminum dome tweeter with two 6.5” Pressure-Driven Bass Radiators and two 6.5” Bass/Midrange Drivers. They weigh 19 pounds and have a frequency response of 22hz – 30khz. Although it depends on tastes, most people are extremely happy with these speakers as they are not too heavy and are able to fit on many areas. For the value, it is an extremely versatile speaker and provides much value. It’s not the best but provides good “bang for your buck”.

Polk Audio 625-RT – A speaker that is for the budget minded these in wall speakers are moderately priced and have a grill that is almost invisible. They are great for blending into your home environment and have performance standards that will impress most audiophiles. They also contain high performance tweeters with 15 degree swivel housing. They are also among the easiest in wall speakers to install. They also come with a template so you can do one cut, and drop them in for simplicity. After installing a pair of these speakers, you won’t even have to worry about additional drywall work.

Triad Gold/4 Surround – These speakers are massive, but they also provide an intense experience of sound unlike anything you’ve imagined. These speakers have a handsome grill and can be ordered in different color schemes. If you’re looking for a very high quality sound experience, these in wall speakers should be sufficient. They weigh 23 pounds and are 13-3/4” wide and 26-1/4” tall. They also have four 3” proprietary neodymium midranges, two 1” fabric dome neodymium tweeters and one massive 8” poly cone woofer.

Episode 700 series 5.1 In Wall Speaker System – In this line of speakers there are the 300, 500, 700 and 900 series. Although Episode makes four lines of these in wall speakers, I feel this one deserves the biggest mention. These speakers are a huge deal because they appeal to customers who are looking for an easy installation process (these speakers are also in-ceiling speakers) and customers who care about the aesthetics as well as the configuration of the room. This in wall speaker setup consisted of Episode’s ES-HT700-IWLCR-6 left, right and center speakers, their ES-700-ICSURR-6 in-ceiling surround speakers, a ES-SUB-IW-DUAL8 subwoofers, as well as a 500 Watt EA-AMP-SUB-1D-500 subwoofer amplifier. This setup is insane! Of course, the hookup and installation process might be a little tedious and perhaps might not be finished in a single day’s worth of work. You won’t regret it though, however, because this is one of the best in wall speakers system out there right now in terms of performance, and price. After listening to these speakers while watching a movie of listening to music, all I can say is…Holy……Wow (you can replace the word “wow” with something more vulgar and the effect will be the same). The experience is very immersive and the realistic sounds and bass put you into the movie, making such a great atmosphere.

Genelec AOW312B In Wall Speakers – Among recording engineers, Genelec is well known and has created a standard within the speakers market. Their line-up is quite popular when you look into any mastering studio. This explains the price when you look at the AOW312B speakers. They aren’t definitely aren’t cheap. But when you consider what you’re getting; a three-way in wall loudspeaker that is 59 inches in height and almost 16 inches wide, 7 inches deep, and weighs as much as a small sized magazine model (95 pounds), these are sufficient to do the job. Obviously when you compare them to the average set of in wall speakers, they’re massive. But it makes sense; these eliminate the need to buy anything else other than the speakers themselves, and an amplifier or receiver. One drawback I can see with these speakers is that if you’re looking to install them yourself, it might be a little beyond your expertise. You’d probably best get the local dealer to handle most of the installation. Other than that, once you have these bad boys installed, the first thing you’ll notice is that they’re nothing like the average home theater speaker. They’re theater speakers, which explains why they deliver really big sound as if you’re at the movies. There is one big difference between these speakers and movie theater speakers however, they don’t sound harsh or crackly like movie theater speakers. The detail of sound is amazing, but without the sharp noises that tend to hurt your ears like in the movies. Gunshots are realistic but not too high pitched, sounds are crisp, clean, and very realistic. If you’re looking to recreate a movie theater experience in your home, these sound like a winner and probably one of the best in wall speakers out there right now.

In wall speakers can be extremely expensive and you should look around for the best deals you can get. With careful price matching and a keen eye, you can grab a deal that is perfect and enjoy having the perfect entertainment system for your home.
