Premier Series

HIGH PERFORMANCE IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKER BASED ON THE D7 TOWER

The IW-D7 is a high performance, in-wall LCR, based on our highly regarded D7 tower.

The same components are mounted in a fully enclosed, easy to mount aluminum

enclosure, giving you near freestanding tower performance from an in-wall solution.

IW-D7 is a 6.5-inch, D’Appolito Array, designed by Snell chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito.

In 1990, Snell developed the first “back-boxed” in-walls designed to mount flush in

typical 2” x 4” walls. The evolution of this technique corrects for the problems associated

with all in-wall installations. The fully enclosed cabinet defines bass performance and

reduces sound transfer to adjacent rooms, while the non-plastic, three part baffle quiets

cabinet resonance, which in turn reduces vibration to the wall materials. The twin 6.5-

inch long throw woofers provide extended bass and plenty of output, and the 1-inch

low-resonance, silk dome tweeter enables a large sweet spot for better stereo imaging.

The IW-D7 is capable of tremendous impact, and realistic sound staging. It is the

perfect speaker for any high performance music or video system. It is living proof that

sound quality without compromise can be delivered unobtrusively .
