The IW6.5 Audiophile
Point Source In-Wall Loudspeaker.
(Or, the MasterSource
Audio 20M In-wall Speaker)
wall to wall sweet
spot!
NO
SUBWOOFER NEEDED!
The IW6.5 Point Source
in-wall monitor is based on the design of the highly acclaimed
MasterSource Audio 20M monitor. It is designed to produce seamless
response from 28 Hz to 20,000 Hz +/- 3 dB. This bass response
is considerably lower than the THX required response for subwoofer.
Hence no subwoofer is needed.
The 20M
in-wall is
handcrafted in-house by NSM
AUDIO to give you the performance and imaging you expect from
one of our high quality minimonitors. The driver complement is
a concentric driver array that is time coherent and a true point
source which means both the high frequencies produced by the
tweeter and the mid and and low frequencies produced by the woofer
reach your ear at the same time. Even when the sound is reflected
off the walls you don't get two separate reflected pathways of
the sound (one for highs and one for lows) reaching your ear
at different times, which muddies the sound, but a single coherent
waveform. The time coherent, point source design also means the
sweet spot is not limited to a narrow band in the middle of the
room because no matter where you sit you are equidistant from
the tweeter and woofer of each speaker.
Moreover because the
driver uses the wall cavity to generate subwoofer bass response,
the entire response of the speaker from 28 Hz to 20,000 Hz is
linear and continuous without the phase abnormalities and integration
problems that often plague some in-wall subwoofer systems and
cause suck outs and inconsistencies in the distribution of sound
throughout the room. If you want the refined performance of the
finest monitor loudspeakers few in-walls and subwoofer combos
come close to the performance of the IW6.5-20M in-wall.
