Passive Wall Speakers

Wall mounted speakers are great if you want some louder music in your home. Compared to ceiling speakers, on-wall speakers will generally have a more powerful output and a more up-front sound. Ceiling speakers are better utilised for lower volume background music, while wall-mounted speakers are better for louder volume requirements, as well as usually having a lower bass output.

Passive wall speakers will need an amplifier to be powered. By wiring the speakers to a single amplifier, all controls are in one place such as volume, skip tracks and mode options. These sorts of setups are best for larger spaces or multi-room installations.

A lot of our wall-mounted speakers have a weather-resistant design, which makes them highly useful for installation in gardens and terraces. As well as having a moisture-resistant design to protect the speakers against rain damage, wall-mounted speakers have a wide sound dispersion and high volume output, and this makes them perfect for garden use because a lot of sound gets lost in outdoor environments.

We offer passive wall speakers in 100V line or low impedance (8 ohm) operation. 100V line speakers are great if you are installing a larger amount of speakers, especially in multi-room systems. Low impedance operation is perfect for installations where you will only be using a couple of speakers, as they will have a better sound quality overall than a 100V line speaker.

Benefits of wall mount speakers

Passive wall mount speakers are a popular choice for home audio systems as they provide several benefits that suit a variety of user requirements. These speakers are designed to be mounted on walls, making them an ideal choice for those who want a discreet audio setup.

One of the biggest advantages of passive wall speakers is their sound quality. They are capable of producing high-quality sound that is clear and accurate, making them perfect for music and movie enthusiasts. Additionally, these speakers come in a range of sizes to provide powerful sound without distortion.

Another benefit of passive wall speakers is their versatility. They can be used for a wide range of purposes, including as part of a home theater system or as standalone speakers for music playback. Moreover, they are available in different sizes, which means that they can be used in small rooms or large spaces.

Passive wall mountable speakers also offer a great deal of flexibility when it comes to installation. They can be installed on any wall in a room, and their placement can be adjusted according to personal preference. Furthermore, these speakers are easy to install with minimal wiring required, which means that they can be set up by anyone.

Unlike their active counterparts, passive wall speakers do not have built-in amplification, so you will need to use them with an external power amplifier for them to work. This is a good advantage, as it is easier to use an amplifier that suits your exact requirements in terms of connectivity and design. Additionally, because they do not have built-in electronics, they are less likely to suffer from technical problems and are easier to repair if any issues arise.

Different types of wall mountable speakers

There are a variety of wall speakers for home applications available, each of which provides different advantages and suitability for different requirements.

Low-impedance speakers are the most common for home usage, as they are designed to provide high-quality sound with high volume levels in a smaller space. Most commonly used for music playback or entertainment purposes in a single room, low-impedance wall speakers come in a range of sizes and power ratings to suit different setups.

Another type of on-wall speaker are 100V line units. Most commonly used for commercial applications, these units are also great for home usage if you want to install several speakers over a larger distance, rather than in a single room. They are perfect for multi-room configurations, and they can be wired in parallel over a long distance without any loss of sound quality or signal strength.

Moisture-resistant wall mount speakers are another option. Their moisture-proof design makes them ideal for installation in humid or wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, or patios. There are also weather-proof speakers available, which have a higher degree of protection against moisture and dust, making them perfect for installation in your garden.

Wall mountable speakers come in a variety of colour options, the most common being either white or black. Their compact and wall-mounted design helps to keep the speakers discreet when installed, and the white or black colour options suit a variety of aesthetics, making them versatile for many homes.

High-quality sound

Passive wall speakers have efficient designs that ensure the highest possible sound quality when they are used with a compatible amplifier or AV receiver. The ability to install most wall speakers either horizontally or vertically makes them easy to implement in different areas of small or large homes, making them simple to install while providing effective sound projection.

Most wall speakers have a 2-way driver arrangement with a separate woofer and tweeter driver. The frequency range of any audio content is divided between these drivers so that the woofer handles all low and mid-range frequencies while the tweeter reproduces all high-range frequencies. The resulting sound quality is extremely well-rounded with sharp clarity in intricate noises, and a warm and powerful tone for added immersion when listening to music or watching TV.

As well as their effective driver layouts, many wall speakers feature additional design choices that enhance the quality of sound being reproduced. One of these is reflex ports. A reflex port uses the air being generated by the movement of the driver cones and expels it out of the cabinet through a hole. The purpose of this is to add extra bass to the overall output, which is perfect for large and open areas where bass frequencies tend to get lost.

Another design choice of wall speakers to improve sound quality is their brackets. The brackets that you use to install the speakers on a wall surface feature shock-resistant designs with high-quality materials, resulting in minimal vibrations while keeping the speakers away from the wall to improve acoustics.
