About the Tannoy IW62DS 2-Way 6" In-Wall Loudspeaker
The IW62DS is a high-performance two-way in-wall loudspeaker designed for custom residential and commercial installations where a discrete, architecturally integrated audio solution is required. It features a 6-inch polymer-coated paper cone woofer paired with a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, arranged in a traditional two-way configuration. A key design element is its shallow mounting depth, which allows for installation in standard wall cavities with limited space between studs. The loudspeaker is built into a rigid, pre-constructed enclosure (often using the separate IW62 back-can for optimal performance), which provides a sealed, optimized volume for the driver, ensuring consistent bass response and preventing sound leakage into adjacent rooms.
Installation is designed to be clean and professional. The speaker utilizes a "dog-leg" clamping system that secures it firmly to the drywall from the front after the wall is finished, resulting in a flush, rattle-free mount. The paintable grille is magnetically attached and features a low-profile design that can be seamlessly blended into the wall's surface once painted. This model is a passive loudspeaker intended for low-impedance (8-ohm) operation, connected to a standard stereo or multichannel amplifier. Its performance is characterized by a balanced frequency response suitable for both high-fidelity music reproduction and clear dialogue reinforcement in multi-room audio or home theater surround applications.
The IW62DS offers a compelling balance of sound quality, discreet aesthetics, and installation practicality. It is an ideal choice for homeowners and integrators seeking to add quality audio to living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, or home offices without the visual presence of bookshelf or floor-standing speakers. Its ability to deliver full-range sound from an invisible installation point makes it a fundamental component in modern custom installation projects.
