Monitor Audio is rolling into CEDIA 2025 with three new large in-wall speakers and a range of versatile on-wall and on-ceiling mount boxes, expanding its acclaimed Creator Series. The timing couldn’t be better — the high-end in-wall speaker market is exploding, shifting from niche installs to full-blown must-haves. Brands like Theory Audio Design, DALI, Focal, Sonus faber, KEF, and Monitor Audio are leading the charge, proving that audiophiles no longer need to trip over giant wooden boxes to get reference-quality sound. Who needs towers eating up the living room when you can hide all that performance in the walls and ceilings?
Monitor Audio’s latest additions aren’t just about stealth, they’re about flexibility and performance. The new large in-wall models are designed to deliver serious dynamics and clarity, while the new mount boxes make specifying and installing the gear less of a headache for integrators. Together, they push the Creator Series deeper into the category and reinforce Monitor Audio’s play to own the high-performance custom install space.
Monitor Audio Creator Series Large In-Wall Speakers at CEDIA 2025
The new large-format Creator Series In-Wall speakers are Monitor Audio’s answer for projects that need more scale, output, and presence. Think big rooms, open-plan living spaces, or dedicated cinemas — basically anywhere a slim in-wall speaker shouldn’t be playing small.
- High-impact performance – extended bass and dynamic headroom that can handle home theater demands without breaking a sweat.
- Precision engineering – built across three performance levels with Monitor Audio’s decades of acoustic know-how for clean, room-filling sound.
- Discreet design – true to the Creator Series ethos, they disappear into the wall but don’t compromise on audio quality.
- Seamless system matching – voiced to blend with the rest of the Creator Series lineup for multi-room or cinema installs.
All models carry over Monitor Audio’s custom install tricks, like the patent-pending Quik-Link for easy pre-cabling and faster installs, Tri-Grip II dog-legs for secure mounting, and advanced metal-cone driver tech that’s been evolving for over 40 years. A dedicated back box is also available if you want to lock down performance.
The three performance tiers break down like this:
- W1L – two-way with C-CAM mid-bass drivers and a C-CAM tweeter with UD Waveguide I for controlled dispersion and tighter imaging.
- W2L – three-way with RST II mid-bass and bass drivers, C-CAM tweeter with UD Waveguide II, plus a rotational mid-pod for LCR flexibility.
- W3L – the flagship three-way with RDT III bass drivers, a C-CAM mid, MPD II transducer, and a rotational mid-pod for LCR setups.
With three distinct models at three clear price points, the new Large In-Wall lineup stretches the Creator Series into bigger rooms and more serious applications — staying true to Monitor Audio’s “performance-first” ethos. Because let’s be honest: if you can bury the sound in the walls and still get reference-level impact, who really needs those floor-standing boxes taking up real estate?
Monitor Audio W1L In-Wall Speaker – Entry-Level Power in the Creator Series
The Monitor Audio W1L is the entry point into the new Large In-Wall lineup, a Tier 1 two-way design built for bigger spaces where cost-effective performance still matters. It packs four 5-inch C-CAM mid-bass drivers and a 1-inch C-CAM tweeter with the UD Waveguide I, giving it punch, clarity, and dispersion control that belies its “entry-level” tag.
Installation is made deliberately painless thanks to Monitor Audio’s Quik-Link connector, which allows pre-cabling before the speaker goes in, and Tri-Grip II fixings that lock it securely into place. At just 85 mm mounting depth, it’s slim enough to fit most walls, yet still manages to dig down to 38 Hz with a max SPL of 114 dB — more than enough to make its presence felt in a home cinema or large open-plan living space.
With its sealed design, solid power handling, and clean industrial finish in matte black and orange, the W1L is built for discreet installs where performance still comes first.

Monitor Audio Creator Series Mount Boxes – Flexible Placement for Any Space
The Creator Series Mount Boxes give integrators and DIY installers the freedom to position any Creator Series high-fidelity speaker almost anywhere — on-wall or on-ceiling — without breaking a sweat. The four “on-ceiling” back boxes cover all in-ceiling models, while the “on-wall” Mount Box is built for Medium In-Wall models. And if you’re feeling adventurous, those ceiling boxes can double as wall boxes — flexibility at its finest.
Sleek, contemporary, and engineered for performance, these Mount Boxes make it possible to deliver high-fidelity soundeven in rooms where traditional in-wall or in-ceiling installation isn’t practical. Basically, they let you skip ripping into your walls or ceilings and still get excellent acoustic results.
Design & Options
Available in Matte Black or Satin White, the Mount Boxes accommodate small, medium, and large in-ceiling speakers, as well as medium in-wall models. Offered in five simple yet highly effective designs, they balance versatility, visual harmony, and performance. Whether you’re installing a high-fidelity stereo system, immersive multi-channel cinema, or whole-home smart audio, these Mount Boxes make it straightforward — no floor-standing towers, no giant holes, just serious sound with minimal effort.
When it comes to installing high-quality speakers, not every room is a perfect fit for in-wall or in-ceiling placement — and that’s where Creator Series Mount Boxes really shine. Flexible installation means you’re not locked into cutting holes where you don’t want to; whether it’s an awkward ceiling beam or a wall packed with wiring, these boxes make positioning easy without compromising on sound.
Versatile placement is another big win. Because the boxes allow a wide range of mounting positions, you can fine-tune speaker placement for the room rather than forcing the room to fit the speakers. That translates to better sound dispersion, more balanced coverage, and an overall more immersive listening experience.
Each Mount Box is acoustically optimised, designed to give your speaker the right internal volume for peak performance. In other words, you don’t lose the fidelity you’d get from a perfectly installed in-wall unit, even if you’re mounting on a surface.
Reduced structural impact is something every installer or DIYer appreciates — no messy construction, no hours spent patching walls or ceilings. Combine that with easy accessibility for tweaks, maintenance, or future upgrades, and you’ve got a system that’s as convenient to live with as it is to install.
Finally, aesthetic integration matters as much as performance. With sleek, minimalist designs, these Mount Boxes blend into the background rather than sticking out like a sore thumb, letting your sound do the talking without demanding visual attention.
Put it all together, and you’ve got a solution that’s flexible, high-performing, and installer-friendly — perfect for anyone who wants reference-level sound without taking over the room.
