Versatile applications for home cinema and music

The WS500 in-wall speaker is perfect for use in a variety of audio applications. It is designed for both 2-channel audio systems and home theaters and can be easily integrated into modern installations. Its adaptability is particularly advantageous in home theater systems, where it can be used as a front, center or surround speaker. In combination with the McIntosh MI128 or MI254 distribution amplifiers or the WS300 in-wall speakers and the CS200 ceiling speakers, the WS500 can deliver an exceptional, coordinated sound experience.

Thanks to its versatile compatibility with various A/V processors and multi-channel amplifiers, the speaker is ideal for home cinema applications where a high standard of sound is required. Whether for movie nights or music enjoyment, the WS500 always ensures detailed and powerful sound reproduction.

Technical excellence for excellent sound

The McIntosh WS500 not only impresses with its flexible design, but also with its sophisticated technology. This loudspeaker is a 3-way system that is housed in a completely closed housing to minimize distortion and irregularities in the sound. The closed housing ensures controlled air pressure and thus precise and distortion-free reproduction of the sound, no matter what the environment.

Equipped with two 6.5 inch Woven Glass Fiber Woofers , two 2 inch Inverted Titanium Dome Midrange drivers and a ¾ inch Titanium Dome Tweeter , the WS500 offers a balanced sound. The combination of these high-quality drivers ensures precise bass reproduction, clearly defined mids and brilliant highs. The woofer is an innovative design that has been kept particularly flat so that it can be easily installed in standard 2x4 walls. This construction allows for easy installation without compromising on sound quality.

Another highlight is the molded carbon reinforced cone of the woofer, which ensures high linearity and excellent power transmission. The molded elastomeric surrounds guarantee a long service life and stable operation of the loudspeaker, even at high power.

Easy installation and invisible integration

The WS500 is easy to install and mount thanks to its innovative magnetic metal grill technology. The grill is not only easy to remove, but can also be painted so that its color can be matched to the wall design. This allows the speaker to be integrated into the room almost invisibly, without the mounted speaker remaining visible. The design with a minimally visible edge ensures that the speaker fits seamlessly into the wall installation.

The speaker is supplied with all necessary mounting hardware, which allows for easy retrofitting into existing walls. For even easier installation, an optional rough-in kit (item no. #RK500) is available, which can be purchased separately if required.

A loudspeaker for every requirement

The McIntosh WS500 in-wall speaker is specifically designed for a power output of up to 250 watts. With a frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz, it delivers a wide range of sounds and is ideal for a variety of audio sources. Whether for the home theater, the music system or as part of a large-scale audio distribution system, the WS500 meets high demands on sound quality.

This speaker is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to keep their audio installation unobtrusive yet powerful. With its power, flexibility and easy installation, the WS500 offers an excellent solution for demanding audio applications.
