About the Monitor Audio CP-WT240LCR
A versatile in-wall performer
A versatile in-wall performer
Treat yourself to superb home theater or stereo sound with Monitor Audio's versatile CP-WT240LCR speaker. This stealthy in-wall speaker delivers rich, high-impact music or movie soundtracks with stunning clarity. Use a pair as your left- and right-channel speakers, or install one under your wall-mounted TV as a dedicated center channel. The speaker's drivers are specially configured to provide optimal performance whether you mount it vertically or horizontally, plus the tweeter pivots, so you can aim it toward your preferred listening spot for more direct sound.
One of our favorite features of Monitor's Controlled Performance series is the back-box that's built onto each model. This carefully designed enclosure on the back of the speaker helps it deliver consistently focused, well-balanced sound no matter what kind of space is behind it in your wall. This compact speaker is sized to work in smaller rooms and makes a perfect acoustic match with other models in Monitor's Controlled Performance lineup.
Monitor Audio's secret sauce
This speaker's 1" tweeter and dual 4" woofers are made of an advanced ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy that originally debuted as a material for jet engine components. It's a fantastic material for speakers, too, because it results in drivers that are extremely lightweight and rigid, which means they can respond to audio signals swiftly and precisely. The tweeter also gets an anodized coating of gold that ensures smooth, extended highs.
Product highlights:
- built-in back-box ensures well-balanced sound in any installation and protects against dust and dirt

Features
LCR In-Wall Speaker: The Monitor Audio CP-WT240LCR is a multi-purpose LCR in-wall speaker. Ideal for installation as a dedicated center-channel (in landscape orientation) in a home theater application or a high performance front speaker (in portrait orientation) for music or home theater applications.
Two-Way Speaker Design: The CP-WT240LCR utilizes twin 4" MMP II midrange/midbass drivers and one pivoting 1" C-CAM tweeter. Working in tandem, the two 4" C-CAM drivers offer greater radiating area than a single 6" bass driver, and consequently deliver improved efficiency, power handling and sound pressure levels from a compact in-wall speaker design.
- C-CAM Gold-Dome Tweeter: The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy, gold anodized to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modeling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats. The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.
- C-CAM Cone Woofers: Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium is a material originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components. Its properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. In manufacture, aluminum/magnesium alloy undergoes a three-stage stress-relieving process to remove surface deformation and molecular weakness. Once formed, the alloy cone is subjected to a high temperature anodic coating process in which a layer of pure ceramic alumina is depleted onto its surfaces to a depth of 50 microns, producing a completely rigid sandwich of alloy and heat-dissipating ceramic material. Conventional cones are liable to flex or twist in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion. C-CAM cones have a much higher resistance to bending stress and therefore exhibit much greater fidelity over their entire operating range.
Tweeter & Boundary Control: The 1" C-CAM tweeter is able to pivot (+/-15°) to direct the sound to your desired listening area. A tweeter level adjustment (+3/0/-3 dB) and boundary compensation control (On/Off) also aids in high frequency performance and optimum imaging.
Sealed Enclosure: The Monitor Audio CP-WT240LCR's airtight enclosure design protects each precision-engineered driver system against the accumulation of damaging dirt and dust.
Trimless Grille: The CP-WT240LCR in-wall speaker features a "Trimless" steel-mesh grille that is held in place by high strength Neodymium magnets covering the entire speaker for a true trimless, stealth look. The grille is paintable to blend with the living environment; additional scrim material is provided for trouble free painting.
Tri-Grip Fixing System: Monitor Audio's innovative Tri-Grip fixing system is easier to install than conventional clamping schemes but provides three times the surface area and a better surface seal, maximizing bass response and midrange clarity. The Tri-Grip fixings are made from a tough re-enforced polymer, giving a secure installation.
Spring-Post Terminals: The Monitor Audio CP-WT240LCR is fitted with two spring-post terminals to connect your speaker wire. The spring-post terminals which accept bare wire (up to 10AWG) and angled pin-connectors.

Great speakers. I used 3 of them. One for center channel and two for surrounds paired with MA Silver floor-standing main speakers. I could not be happier with the results.
