Overview
The mid-point WSS230 offers a step-up in performance; additions here include Monitor Audio’s renowned C-CAM metal drivers, delivering increased precision and detailed sonic characteristics.
The WSS230 makes you think again—the possibility of installation in constructions featuring 2" studs slips effortlessly into view. Mounting restricted by AVC ducts, cabling, or pipework? No problem with this in-wall speaker or any of the speakers in this range. These models can also be installed between a standard 14" stud bay when used in a horizontal (portrait) orientation. Consequently, the same speakers can be installed around a screen, keeping the same neat visuals as well as identical L-C-R performance.
To provide protection from damage by residual masonry or building materials, Monitor Audio designed a protective cover to keep the drivers and crossover safe. And the trim-less grille not only provides protection, it also adopts an incredibly discreet and low-profile aesthetic appearance. These covers can be painted to achieve seamless décor integration, with the supplied replacement scrim maintaining the stealthy presence of the speaker once decorating is done. Nice and neat. Super strong, magnetically attached rare earth magnets ensure long-term security, coupled with easy installation and servicing.

About Monitor Audio
On one level, this is simple to answer: it’s sound that comes as close as possible to what the artist heard in the recording studio. The reality is far more complicated. For starters, anyone who has been in a recording studio will be aware that they don’t always sound fantastic. Sorry to dispel that myth, but it’s just a fact. Monitor Audio loudspeakers sound truthful and natural; they are engineered to reproduce music as the artist intended. A subtle but important difference. At its core, Monitor Audio’s mission is to develop loudspeakers that impose themselves as little as possible. Speakers that let the recording do the talking.
