Description
Monitor Audio Super Slim WSS230 In-wall Speaker
Mid-range shallow-depth WSS in-wall speaker for screen walls and other installations where conventional in-wall depth is unavailable.
WSS230 gives a shallow-wall project more capability than the entry WSS model while retaining the same space-saving concept. It can be installed vertically or horizontally, which is useful when speakers need to fit around a television or projection screen.
Installation and System Planning
Use the available wall area and channel role to decide orientation. In a cinema front stage, keeping left, centre and right speakers at sensible heights and positions is more important than forcing every speaker into the same orientation.

The Audio Experts Take
The WSS230 gives you a little more capability within the same shallow-wall idea, making it useful for higher-quality rooms where installation depth is still tight. The reason to choose it is the combination of slim construction and a more ambitious speaker design, not simply because it is the next model up. The Audio Experts can help decide whether the WSS range is the right compromise for the wall construction.
