Overview

Focal 100 IWLCR5 2-Way In-Wall LCR Speaker

2-Way D'Appolito In-Wall LCR • Dual 5" Polyglass Drivers • Adjustable Inverted-Dome Tweeter • 90.5 dB Sensitivity • Left / Center / Right Configuration

The Focal 100 IWLCR5 is a dedicated in-wall LCR speaker designed for discreet home theater installations. Its D'Appolito configuration places an adjustable inverted-dome tweeter between two 5-inch Polyglass mid-bass drivers, providing higher power handling and controlled directivity from a compact architectural loudspeaker. Focal

The speaker can be installed vertically or horizontally and configured as the left, center or right channel, making it an especially flexible choice for custom home theaters and media rooms.

D'Appolito LCR Architecture

Two 5-inch Polyglass drivers flank the central tweeter in a D'Appolito configuration. This arrangement improves directivity control and gives the IWLCR5 the output capability needed for front-channel home theater applications. Focal

Left, Center or Right Channel

A three-position L/C/R selector optimizes the speaker for its location within the front soundstage.

The IWLCR5 can also be installed horizontally, allowing it to function as a discreet architectural center channel beneath or above a display. Focal

Dual 5" Polyglass Drivers

Focal's Polyglass technology applies fine glass microbeads to a cellulose-pulp cone. The construction combines the damping characteristics of paper with greater rigidity for controlled, well-defined midrange reproduction. Focal

Adjustable Inverted-Dome Tweeter

The adjustable inverted-dome tweeter provides broad dispersion and allows high-frequency energy to be directed toward the listening area.

Focal also provides high- and mid-frequency correction controls to optimize response for the speaker's position and room acoustics. Focal

Discreet In-Wall Installation

The 100 IWLCR5 requires only 3.25 inches of mounting depth. A ready-to-paint magnetic grille allows the speaker to integrate cleanly into the wall once installation is complete. Focal

Built for Architectural Home Theater

The 100 IWLCR5 is particularly useful for TV rooms, media rooms and dedicated home theaters where the front soundstage needs to disappear into the architecture.

Three IWLCR5 speakers can create a matching in-wall LCR array, or the model can be combined with other Focal 100 Series architectural speakers and the 100 IWSUB8 in-wall subwoofer for a fully integrated system. Focal also identifies the Naim CI-Uniti 102 and CI-NAP 108 as complementary electronics for the 100 Series. Focal
