When building a home theatre, installing surround sound to facilitate that movie-theatre experience is ideal. Instead of mounting speakers on the walls, have you considered installing in-wall speakers?
Discreet and attractive, in-wall speakers mount flush with your wall. Helping you save space, they are suitable for any size room, but are especially convenient for smaller rooms because you can reclaim valuable wall “real estate”. Typically in-wall speakers are rectangular and come in various sizes to suit your application. Containing all the same internal components that an “on-wall” speaker has (read our blog – what’s inside your speaker), an in-wall speaker’s enclosure is your wall cavity, instead of having a typical box enclosure. Most will fit nicely into your plaster wall between the studs.
Using a combination of in-wall and in-ceiling speaker can also be a great way to integrate your surround sound system. You may choose to use in-ceiling front speakers a pair of in-wall rear surround speakers at the back of your room with an in-wall centre speaker that is positioned below your big screen TV or projector screen. (read our blog about installing in-ceiling speakers)
It is important to note that in-wall speakers require speaker wire that is specifically designed for this purpose. It is always easier to plan ahead when building a home, and have the speaker wire installed prior to the plaster being put up, however understandably this is not always possible. See Cable below
