Speaker Descriptions
IWTS-14 SR and 30 SR
The IWTS-14 SR and IWTS-30 SR are in-wall surround speakers that
deliver spacious, enveloping surround effects for top-grade home theater
systems. They feature two angled banks of drivers facing front and rear that
fill the listening area with the three-dimensional ambient sound essential
for convincing, lifelike theater sound.
Both speakers incorporate dual woofers (4½” in the 14 SR, 5¼” in the 30 SR)
and dual 1” soft dome tweeters. The speakers are switchable dipole/Bipole
designs; that is, the two sets of drivers can either be set for out-of-phase
(dipole) operation, for a diffuse, non-localizable sound, or set for in-phase
(bipole) operation, for a more direct, localizable effect.
Either model can fill large home listening rooms with dramatic surround
effects. However, because of its exceptional output capability, the IWTS-30
SR is THX Ultra-certified, a testimony to its outstanding performance and
its suitability to being used in the very finest systems.
