Monitor Audio WSS430

Wall speakers

The flagship WSS430 super-slim series for wall installation, provides effortlessly the critical audiophile and cinema experiences. With the design principles and technologies of our flagship Platinum II speaker models, the performance of this impressive in-wall solution is challenged by the best high-end box speaker designs.

It retains the shallow depths of the siblings - all three have identical footprints - and delivers the highest audio performance, based on design principles and materials, from the high-end Platinum II speakers from Monitor's Audio.

The Range Topper uses curved C-CAM cones to ensure maximum membrane rigidity. The main goal is to reduce distortion. High-strength neo magnets and larger voice coils provide unprecedented driving power, low magnetic leakage and a slim profile. The magnet system provides a "hanging" motor assembly that keeps the coil in the gap, further reducing distortion and increasing load capacity.

With only 50 mm depth, the WSS430 is busy. The MPD high-frequency converter technology-also from Flagship-Platinum II-designs from Monitor Audio- ensures incredibly low distortion and delivers a clear high frequency up to over 50 kHz. Remove the magnetic front bezel of the model, and you can rotate the tweeter for optimal dispersion when using the model in landscape orientation.
