{"product_id":"canton-inwall-989-einbaulautsprecher-weiss","title":"Canton InWall 989 In-Wall Speaker, White (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton InWall 989 is a passive two-way in-wall speaker for wall and ceiling installation that forms the flagship model of the InWall series, with a 21 cm ceramic woofer and a pivoting ceramic tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works on the Free Air principle: no enclosure of its own, just the volume behind the wall as its resonance space. The metal grille holds magnetically, comes off for painting, and afterward all but disappears – the most elegant way to get rid of a large cabinet without giving it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the InWall 989?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there are living rooms where no floorstanding speaker is allowed to stand – but the sound still shouldn't shrink down to background music. With 21 cm of cone area, 160 watts of music power handling and 88.5 dB sensitivity, the 989 has the reserves the smaller InWall models lack. The ceramic tweeter can be pivoted toward the listening zone, and its level adjusted as well. That lets you correct for an installation spot dictated by the architecture rather than the acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-fledged stereo sound with substance. The large ceramic woofer goes down to 42 Hz and delivers body rather than just a suggestion of it, while the treble stays open up to 40 kHz without becoming harsh. In a properly built wall, the 989 sounds stable and mature – a serious system, not mere sound reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the InWall 989 suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor living spaces where the system needs to stay invisible without you paying for it in sound quality. It also cuts a good figure as an invisible home cinema front. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e an in-wall speaker is only ever as good as its installation. In thin, undamped drywall the wall itself resonates along with it; in a solid, damped construction the same speaker plays a class higher. For brief background sound in a guest room it's simply too much – the smaller models in the series suffice there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flagship of the InWall series, and the right choice when invisible isn't supposed to mean quiet. Honestly: the speaker is the easy part, the real work lies in the installation location. That's exactly where we at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil start, before anyone unpacks the jigsaw.

The visible outer dimensions are 263 × 367 mm. Before cutting, be sure to locate studs, wiring and pipes – or have Mauri, our technician, measure the location on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the InWall 989 need a back box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it's not strictly necessary. The 989 works on the Free Air principle and fires into the wall volume without a cabinet of its own. A sealed back box or a damped cavity does help, though, if the neighbouring room needs to stay quiet or if the cavity turns out unusually large. We'll plan that with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the InWall 989 go in the bathroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not built for permanently damp rooms. In a well-ventilated bathroom it works fine in practice, as long as it isn't installed directly in the splash zone. For wellness areas, saunas or outdoor use we recommend weatherproof models instead – just ask us and we'll suggest suitable alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I paint over the InWall 989's grille?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The metal grille is held magnetically, can be removed, and painted in your wall colour. Afterward the speaker barely stands out visually. Paint the grille off the speaker and thinly, so the perforation stays open and the treble doesn't get muffled. Two thin coats are enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton InWall 989 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you before the first hole is drilled whether the installation spot works structurally and acoustically. Our experienced team plans placement, cabling and the rest of the system, and Mauri handles the installation on site.
