Cinenova Clarte In-Wall / On-Wall FAQ
Q: What kind of sound comes from these speakers, I.E. a forward sound/ neutral/ warm/ laid back?
A: These speakers are designed to have the same neutral, smooth and almost hyper dynamic sound as our Titan line of speakers. For many years hifi speakers have been trying to be as precise and detailed as possible without over emphasizing S sounds. These speakers using specially developed arrayed ribbon tweeters definitely advances the state of the art in that regard. The clarity really is uncanny.

Q: What kind of sound field do these speakers give out: narrow, normal, wide or very wide?
A: They produce a wide field, but as with any speaker you will have progressively more energy bleedoff as you go more off axis . But they will retain their tonal cohesion all the way to 120 degree off axis.

Q: Is there any difference between the IW speaker and the OW speaker regarding the sound?
A: No, they are identical. The only difference you will hear is the diffraction from the wall and associated infinite baffle effects of any in-wall speaker.

Q: Does the in-wall speaker need to have an inbox at the back?
A: The IW-C5 comes with a back box and grill, so you don't need to build one yourself. This is what it looks like on the back: https://www.earthquakesound.dk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IW-C5_03-scaled.jpg

Q: Can the speakers be mounted horizontally rather than vertically, or will that compromise the sound?
A: The speaker can also be mounted horizontally without compromising the sound. The Cinenova Clarte series are LCR speakers and can be used for any speaker in your setup. Please refer to the manual on page 8 and 9 for our recommended placement of the speaker:
