Is this model magnetically shielded?

HI Joe,
This in-wall center channel is magnetically shielded. Magnetic shielding was more of a concern when mounting these near a CRT screen where the magnetic would have issue with the screen. That is no longer an issue with flat screen monitors. But either way you are covered with this speaker.

I am in the process of remodeling my home entertainment wall in my home. I am debating wheather to use a home entertainment system with speakers, sub wolfer, wireless rear speakers & DVD as a complete package. My question is can I still use in wall speakers (front only) with an existing home entertainment package systems. I noticed that most home entertainment systems have 1000 watts but the built in speakers have between 100 to 200 watts. Would the built in speakers be compatible to a package home entertainment system with 1000 watts?

Hi Chuck,
Tell us what Home Theater in a Box you are looking at or you may have already purchased. It can be done but knowing what you have will help us to make sure. 1000 watts may be what is distributed to all speakers in total.

I am building a house and need to install 7.1 speakers. The three front speakers should be mounted on the wall but the 4 back speakers are in the ceiling. What speakers should I order? I like the specs of the IW550LCR - could I find the rest of the speakers to go with it?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Dave,
The Kevlar models are our best selling speakers and a great choice for your home theater. If you want to go with in-ceiling, our ICE650 or ICE670 are a good match. The in-wall version is the IW690. We also have an 8" available. What are the dimensions of your room?

Can this product be installed in the ceiling, or would this affect the sound or is it a solely a wall mount? If it cannot, could you offer an alternative for a center channel comparable to this?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Scott,
The design of this speaker works best with in-wall installations, due to the separated tweeter and woofers. Typically a ceiling speaker is going to be coaxial and have a round design for better stereo imaging. If you are limited to the ceiling, I would suggest going with the MK670 as your center channel and even as your front left and right if you haven't purchased those already. These MK670 will give you top notch sound and the angle of the speaker will project the audio directly at your listening area.
