Monitor Audio CP-WT380

The Monitor Audio CP-WT380 in-wall speaker system is part of the 300 series of the Controlled Performance line. The peculiarity of this model, as well as the entire line, is the presence of a closed hermetic case designed in accordance with the dimensions and characteristics of the speakers, which allows you to solve the problems associated with ensuring high-quality sound and dust ingress. Thanks to this design, it is also possible to prevent the penetration of sound into adjacent rooms.

Speaker system Monitor Audio CP-WT380 is equipped with an inch tweeter with a thin dome membrane. The tweeter can be rotated 15 degrees in different directions, which allows you to focus and direct the sound waves emitted by it to the desired listening position, while providing an accurate sound image. The membrane is made of C-CAM material, which is an alloy of aluminum and magnesium with a ceramic coating. Its surface is anodized with gold. Such a "sandwich" allows you to get rid of parasitic resonant oscillations, increase the rigidity and increase the response speed.

At the bottom of the front aluminum panel is an 8-inch mid/bass driver with a phase equalizing bullet and a C-CAM cone. In accordance with proprietary RST technology, small recesses are applied to the surface of the cone, which serve to increase its rigidity and resistance to bending deformations, which is expressed in a reduction in distortion.

The speaker system is supported by six Tri-Grip lever clamps made of reinforced polymer. As a result, fast and reliable fixation of the speakers in a niche prepared in advance is ensured. A pair of spring-loaded terminals is used to connect the cable.

There are two switches on the front panel of the Monitor Audio CP-WT380, one of which adjusts the treble level (3 positions: + 3, 0, - 3 dB), and the second acts as a boundary compensator that allows you to correct the bass. These settings help to adapt the speakers to the characteristics of any room.

The model is equipped with a steel grill, which is attached to the front panel using powerful neodymium magnets. The grill can be repainted in accordance with the color scheme of the interior of the room.

The sound quality of the Monitor Audio CP-WT380 is quite comparable to that of traditional Hi-Fi speakers. The model has clean detailed high frequencies, informative mids, fast tight bass and excellent dynamics. The swivel tweeter allows for an accurate polar pattern.
