Features

4-Driver Array: The Monitor Audio WSS130 in-wall loudspeaker features a 4-driver array with three 3" MMP II mid/bass drivers and one 1" C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter for a smooth and well-balanced sound that is suitable for home theater and music application.

  • C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter: The C-CAM Gold-Dome tweeter produces smooth high frequencies with detail and and a sense of realism. C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium) is ideal for speaker drivers since it is 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 driver 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 drivers are liable to flex or twist in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion. C-CAM drivers have a much higher resistance to bending stress and therefore exhibit much greater fidelity over their entire operating range.
  • MMP II Woofers: MMP II (Metal Matrix Polymer) driver cones have a polypropylene base loaded with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimize stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.

"Trimless" Magnetic Grille: The WSS130 in-wall speaker features a steel-mesh grille that is held in place by high strength magnets covering the entire speaker for a true "trimless", stealth look. The grille protrudes only 0.125" from the wall. The grille is paintable to blend with the living environment; additional scrim material is provided for trouble free painting.

Gold-Plated Spring Post Terminals: The Monitor Audio WSS130 is outfitted with gold-plated spring post terminals for connection of bare speaker wire (up to 14AWG) and pin-connectors (the spring post terminals are too small to accommodate banana plugs). The spring post terminals are gold-plated for excellent audio signal transfer and resistance to corrosion.

Tri-Grip Fixing System: Monitor Audio's innovative Tri-Grip fixing system is easier to install than conventional clamping schemes and provides 3x 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. The WSS130 requires a rectangular cutout and can be mounted vertically or horizontally in 0.125" to 0.875" thick wall.

  • Vertical Cutout Dimensions: 4.0" (w) x 13.625" (h) x 2.0" (d)
  • Horizontal Cutout Dimensions: 13.625" (w) x 4.0" (h) x 2.0" (d)

Note: Make sure to leave at least 1.0" of clearance around the inside of the cutout opening to accommodate the Tri-Grip clamps.

Applications: The Monitor Audio WSS130 can be used in home theater or music applications. It can be used as a front, center, and/or rear channel speaker in a home theater setup.

Q
My home theater consists entirely of Klipsch reference speakers (RP-500M II). How well will these speakers pair with Klipsch speakers?

Hey Igor, that would depend on the role you want these Monitors to achieve. We have advisors who can be reached by calling 1-800-324-9695 that can go over your system and recommend the best speaker for your goals that matches up with everything else.

Q
I am working on a custom project which requires very slim on wall speakers. Will these work with a custom built cabinet out of MDF? Are there any specific requirements I have to follow for the custom built cabinet?
igor  May 02, 2024

Hey Igor, these will work with any kind of custom enclosure. The best part about an in-wall speaker are they are made for the largest or smallest spaces behind them as there really is no standard for how these can be built out so the speakers are designed to not rely on so much air space to really give a solid acoustic response overall.
