Well known speaker manufacture Jamo have released a in wall audiophile speaker called the IW 827 LCR. The IW 827 LCR is a 2.5-way design with a 1-inch DTT silk dome tweeter located between the 7-inch woofer and a 7-inch midrange/woofer. They both feature high-end fiberglass/honeycomb composite drivers. Anf according to Jamo this design, coupled with a unique crossover, achieves excellent vertical sound dispersion without the midrange cancellation that can happen in a traditional two-way speaker’s layout.
The driver configuration gives it a slightly downward optimal listening angle so the speaker can be installed next to a flat panel TV optimal audio.
Director of product planning Rune Karsbaek, commented "the IW 827 LCR is consistent with Jamo’s overall philosophy, despite being an in-wall product. While we’re widely known for the beautiful Danish design of our cabinets, our unique, open Danish sound is just as important. These speakers reproduce music and soundtracks with all the vibrancy of our Concert Series, but also provide a discreet, built-in solution for any living space.”
For installations that require a sealed back box, the speaker has an available two-part enclosure. The halves are identical and are lined with damping material. By using separate boxes for the upper woofer and lower woofer/midrange, the possibility of mid- and low-frequency interference is greatly reduced.
The IW 827 LCR is scheduled for release next month. It is priced at $799 (U.S. MSRP) each; the optional two-part back box is $199 (U.S. MSRP).
