British High-Fidelity Architectural Sound Redefined
The mid-point WSS230 offers a step-up in performance; additions here include Monitor Audio’s renowned C-CAM metal drivers, delivering increased precision and detailed sonic characteristics.
The WSS230 makes you think again—the possibility of installation in constructions featuring 2" studs slips effortlessly into view. Mounting restricted by AVC ducts, cabling, or pipework? No problem with this in-wall speaker or any of the speakers in this range. These models can also be installed between a standard 14" stud bay when used in a horizontal (portrait) orientation. Consequently, the same speakers can be installed around a screen, keeping the same neat visuals as well as identical L-C-R performance.
To provide protection from damage by residual masonry or building materials, Monitor Audio designed a protective cover to keep the drivers and crossover safe. And the trim-less grille not only provides protection, it also adopts an incredibly discreet and low-profile aesthetic appearance. These covers can be painted to achieve seamless décor integration, with the supplied replacement scrim maintaining the stealthy presence of the speaker once decorating is done. Nice and neat. Super strong, magnetically attached rare earth magnets ensure long-term security, coupled with easy installation and servicing.

Creator Series - In-Ceiling models
The in-ceiling loudspeaker sits at the heart of architectural sound; its ability to fill a room with wonderful sound while remaining virtually invisible delivers on the primary dream of a custom installation audio system. The Creator Series features small, medium and large in-ceiling models, allowing you to select the perfect array of speakers for your space.
Creator Series - In-Wall models
The in-wall loudspeaker is a versatile, high-performance tool that can add localised quality to any custom installation. The Creator Series in-wall models allow you to create areas of high-performance sound, most usually in a dedicated home cinema space, that rival that of stand-alone loudspeakers, while remaining virtually invisible.
Mount Boxes
The On-Ceiling and On-Wall Creator Series Mount Boxes allow simple delivery of audio in spaces where fully integrated, built-in solutions aren’t an option—delivering high-fidelity sound without restrictions.
Quik-Link
Our new innovative Quik-Link terminal revolutionises speed of installation. With Quik-Link you can make cable connections up the ladder at pre-installation stage. Once the installation is complete, the terminal, which is now connected with the speaker cables, magnetically snaps and locks into place on the rear of the speaker as you place the speaker into ceiling or wall. It’s that easy.
Tri Grip II
Tri-Grip II is a new dog-leg mechanism that is considerably stronger and more reliable than the previous generation, meaning both speaker placement and extraction could not be simpler.
RDT III
Rigid Diaphragm Technology III (RDT III) is a composite ‘sandwich’ structure made from ultra-thin low-mass skins, bonded to a honeycomb Nomex® core material. It is very light and very strong, meaning that it can respond with great speed without bending - just like a perfect piston.
MPD II
Tier 3 In-Wall speakers feature an MPD II high-frequency transducer, developed for the THX Certified Ultra Cinergy range. The precision specification of the Micro Pleated Diaphragm technology is designed to produce accurate, lifelike sound without any distortion.
