WaveWall-182 | On-wall | a high quality on-wall speaker

WaveWall_182

"Form follows function"

With these words, the development of WaveWall 182 is probably best paraphrased.

The generous curves flowing into the wall, along with the very small case depth, allow the excellent acoustic characteristics of the WaveWall-182.
The speakers not only fuses optically, but also acoustically with the wall.

The on-wall installation offers concrete advantages compared to conventional loudspeakers:

  • a significant gain in efficiency
  • correspondingly higher maximum level
  • lower distortions
  • smoother dispersion
  • inconspicuous integration into the living space
  • ... along with a maximum WAF

Measurements

The usual problems with conventional on-wall solutions have been successfully bypassed, in particular by the complex housing design. The dispersion is extremely uniform and without disturbances due to diffraktion, which, in particular, greatly benefits the three-dimensional representation of the sound event. Even in the vertical, the WaveWall 182 measures itself very well. It does not necessarily require an alignment to ear height. Burst-decay is flawless.

Particularly noteworthy are the outstanding low harmonic distortions, especially in the for the ear very critical midrange. Even with 100dB / m they remain in the range of inaudibility. That shows clearly how much know-how has gone into the development of the drivers.

Components

  • Wavecor WF182BD10 WF182BD18

WF182BD17/18 replaces the previous WF182BD09/10. Background: Isolated cases were reported with the WF182BD09/10 where UV light (sunlight) could bleach the membrane color. The new WF182BD17/18 therefore have dark-colored membranes, thus resolving this issue. There are no differences in the TSP (Total Substance Values) or in measurement performance.

These drivers (Note: WF182BD09 and WF182BD10) offer outstanding value for money. For audiophile and living room-friendly two-way floor boxes, they are simply perfect.

  • Wavecor TW030WA09 TW030WA21

The TW030WA21 is the updated successor to the previous TW030WA09. Therefore, in my existing kits, the TW030WA09 will be replaced by the new TW030WA21. From a measurement perspective, the drivers are practically identical!

Wavecor manages with the TW030WA09 to exceed the already excellent 30-millimeter tweeters of the house. The moderate price of the tweeter is not meant to deceive that it is an excellent tweeter with high-end demand and terrific value for money.
