Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Go boxless, go clean: NXG Technology's stately NX-520CLR in-wall speaker (sold individually) gives you the opportunity to expand your current listening to include a home-theater ready center-channel speaker without even needing a space to rest atop your TV--ideal for use with "roofless" flat-panel LCD or plasma sets. You don't have to use it for home theater, of course; just mount the NX-520CLR vertically (and buy two) for stereo sound. Conversely, you can pick up 5, 6, or 7 speakers, depending on how far you want to take both your home theater surround listening and your unobtrusive, flat-panel speaker system.

However you use it, rest easy knowing the speaker is magnetically shielded to avoid any possible image distortion when placed in close proximity to a TV or monitor.

The NX-520CLR is outfitted with dual 5.25-inch polypropylene cone woofers with durable rubber surrounds. It also sports a pivoting, 1-inch, liquid-cooled, soft-dome tweeter that swivels to let you focus its sound on your listening area.

With in-wall speakers, the wall and the space behind it actually serve as a speaker cabinet, resonating with lower (bass) frequencies that would be lost without the focusing a cabinet provides. As such, the speaker depth is under 5 inches, yet it still delivers an impressively wide 50 to 22,000 Hz frequency response. Mounted flush to the wall, it occupies absolutely no shelf space. This discreet, compact format is perfect for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

The speaker's sensitivity is rated at 90 dB (1 watt @ 1 meter), which means it's easily driven; NXG recommends use with integrated amplifiers or surround receivers up to 120 watts (maximum) per channel.

NXG recommends using a minimum of 16-gauge speaker wire for all installations, keeping in mind that gauge decreases as the wire thickens (i.e. 14-gauge wire is thicker than 16-gauge wire). You may paint the perforated speaker grille, as well as the frame, to match any room.

What's in the Box
One speaker with a removable grille, a mounting template, a masking template, a packet of acoustic damping material, and a user's manual with warranty information.

Note: Tools required for installation include a drill and bits, a stud finder, a utility knife or drywall saw, a level, wire cutter/strippers, and speaker wire or speaker cable (all sold separately). When the speaker is mounted horizontally as a center-channel speaker, the stud cavity may need to be modified to accommodate the speaker.
