Premier Series

SNELL’S 3rd GENERATION IN-WALL LCR, A ZERO COMPROMISE
MUSIC AND THEATER MONITOR.

In 1990, Snell built the world’s first fully enclosed in-wall LCR. Like better

freestanding monitor’s it had accurate, predictable bass, pinpoint imaging,

detail, and startling dynamics. Unlike all open-backed in-walls it minimized

sound leakage to adjacent rooms, and was a very competent alternative to

bulky, obtrusive in-room speakers… and it smoked! Two generations later,

Snell’s chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito reconfigured the 800 Series to feature

his famous D’Appolito Array. The Snell IW-LCR7 borrows the 5 1/4

D’Appolito Array from its in-room brother, the LCR7, which includes two very

long ex-cursion woofers mounted over and under a low resonance 1-inch

silk dome tweeter. The result is a design that aligns the output from all three

drivers to a single point, for remarkable clarity and soundstage. Other

features include Snell’s three-layer baffle for reduced wall resonance, and

high order crossover for reliable hi-output use. Like all Snell speakers the IW-

LCR7 is hand-tuned to match its reference master by .5dB.
