The McIntosh WS500 is a high-performance, fully enclosed in-wall loudspeaker engineered for premium two-channel and home theater installations. Its compact depth allows it to fit standard 2×4 wall construction, while the sealed chamber design minimizes distortion and provides consistent, controlled acoustic behavior. A true three-way driver array—featuring dual woofers, dual midrange drivers, and a titanium tweeter—delivers wide, balanced frequency response with exceptional detail. A magnetic, paintable grille blends seamlessly into the wall, allowing the WS500 to deliver powerful McIntosh sound without disrupting the room’s aesthetic. Designed to integrate with other McIntosh custom-install speakers, it supports cohesive multi-speaker systems for immersive listening.
