The W25Es angled baffle solves the two common in-wall problems: directivity and placement flexibility. The struggle with in-wall speakers has always been the inability to correctly target the listening area. A perpendicular-aiming in-wall is like a bookshelf speaker that can’t be toed-in… it leaves the listening area out of the sweet spot. The problem is compounded when your placement options are limited by furniture and wall studs. The W25E is the solution. Finally there is an in-wall speaker that angles toward the listening area providing you with the proper on-axis experience. Orient the W25E as needed to enjoy the significantly better clarity and accurate imaging of properly directed sound.
FINALLY! A SPEAKER WORTH BUILDING A WALL FOR
SEAMLESS, EDGELESS INTEGRATION
RSL’s W25E architectural speaker features an “Edgeless” grille that attaches magnetically, with no trim feature to distract from the overall aesthetic of an integrated in-wall speaker. The acoustically transparent scrim cloth behind the grille provides a consistent visual contrast that eliminates the “see-through” look common to many in-wall speakers. This scrim cloth also features a light adhesion to the inside of the grille that allows for easy removal and replacement which is necessary when looking to custom paint your grilles to seamlessly match any home décor.
SLIM EASY-FIT FOR ANY LOCATION
No need to cut a tower-sized hole in your wall as the W25E requires only a small cut-out of 13″ x 8 7/8″. With a depth of just 3.75″, the W25E will easily fit within any standard 2×4 wall construction, whether vertically or horizontally mounted. When using your W25E in a traditional vertical orientation, the speaker is rotated to match the left or right channel position. In the horizontal “center channel” orientation, the rotation will depend upon whether the W25E is placed above or below the TV. No matter the application, the W25E is quickly and easily installed with ideal
channel-specific performance.
WHO KNEW WALLS COULD SOUND THIS GOOD?
The W25E was designed to deliver ideal performance whether mounted vertically or horizontally. The specific baffle shape and component spacing has been modeled and optimized for ideal acoustic time alignment and summing. The closely spaced woofers and offset tweeter positioning yields excellent off-axis frequency response when mounted vertically or horizontally! Additionally, the W25E’s unique dual woofer and asymmetrical angled baffle design yields excellent phase coherence and time alignment when the speaker is oriented correctly for its assigned channel. This holds true for horizontal center channel applications above or below your TV.  The W25E’s unique combination of attributes assures optimal performance for virtually any location or channel assignment.
A common problem when mounting in-wall speakers is that there are often specific fire codes or other isolation requirements that specify up to 1.5” thick layered drywall. RSL includes an extra set of clamps to allow all of its models to accommodate wall thicknesses of up 2”!
