INTRODUCTION
The IW-S7 and IW-T7 in-wall speakers are designed to be as accurate, clean and musical as our
free-standing speakers. The unobtrusive, fl ush-mount design makes them ideal for installation
in walls or ceilings of rooms where space or decor make conventional speakers undesirable or
inappropriate. They can also be used for front and/or rear channels in a home theater system.
The front surface has a matte white fi nish. The speaker can be installed as is, or can be painted
to match the room environment by using the supplied painting mask. The epoxy-painted,
galvanized steel speaker grille is removable.
The smooth, detailed sound of the IW in-wall speakers comes from two highly refi ned driver
elements: a powerful, long-excursion copolymer bass unit and our 1-inch (25mm) soft dome
tweeter. The silk-like fabric dome delivers a remarkably accurate response for outstanding clar-
ity and articulation. The tweeter and bass unit are mounted close together in a point-source
confi guration for excellent imaging and extremely broad, uniform dispersion. This is important,
because wide dispersion gives you the fl exibility to install the speakers where they look the
best (high on the walls, for example), yet still project a smooth, natural sound throughout the
listening area.
Complex, high order crossovers ensure seamless integration of the woofer and tweeter and
a perfectly balanced character. In production, Snell’s unique hand-tuning gives an incredible
±1 dB match to the Master Reference. The IW in-wall speakers are perfect for any application –
main speakers, surround use or background music.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
This manual assumes the installer possesses skill in the proper use of hand and power
