Scansonic M On-wall Speaker
825,00 €
The Scansonic M On-wall is a passive wall-mounted speaker for stereo and 2.1 systems or rear home cinema channels. Its 4-inch bass driver is paired with a ribbon tweeter. The 107 mm-deep cabinet occupies little space, but the rear-facing bass-reflex ports require a clear path for airflow. A 10-120 W amplifier that remains stable with a 4-ohm load is recommended.
The Scansonic M On-wall speaker is a passive, two-way bass-reflex speaker designed for wall mounting. It can be used in a stereo system, as a rear home cinema channel, or in a 2.1 system with a subwoofer. Its slim, 107 mm-deep cabinet makes it easier to install where there is not enough room for a floorstanding model.
The cabinet houses one 4-inch bass driver and one sealed ribbon tweeter. This combination divides the reproduced frequency range between two specialised drive units.
Construction and frequency reproduction
The ribbon tweeter uses Kapton and aluminium and measures 71.5 × 44.5 mm. The 4-inch bass driver features a cone reinforced with a honeycomb structure.
A second-order crossover divides the drivers’ operating ranges at 4.5 kHz. The stated overall frequency range extends from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. A subwoofer can be added when the system needs deeper bass reproduction.
The bass-reflex ports face backwards. They must remain unobstructed so that air can move freely. It is worth confirming the final mounting position by listening to the bass response from the main seating position.
Connection and amplifier selection
This is a passive speaker, so it requires an external stereo amplifier or home cinema AV receiver. Connect it to the corresponding amplifier output using speaker cable. Maintain the same polarity for both channels during installation.
Nominal impedance is 8 ohms, while the stated minimum impedance is 4 ohms. The amplifier must therefore remain stable when driving a load that falls to 4 ohms. The recommended amplifier output range is 10-120 W.
This range is an amplifier-selection recommendation. It is not a separately declared continuous or short-term power-handling limit for the speaker. Volume and individual channel levels are controlled through the amplifier or AV receiver.
Use in different systems
When installing a stereo pair, place both speakers at the same height and at similar distances from the listening position. A symmetrical arrangement helps maintain a stable stereo image and consistent left-to-right balance.
For a home cinema system, enter the distance and level of each speaker in the AV receiver. If the receiver includes automatic calibration, these settings can be refined using its measurement results.
When adding a subwoofer, adjust the crossover frequency and volume through the amplifier or subwoofer, depending on the available controls. Aim for a smooth transition without an audible gap in the frequency response or excessively prominent bass.
Wall mounting and finishes
The wall support is integrated into the cabinet design. Each speaker weighs 4.35 kg, so the mounting surface and fixings must safely support that load. Select the appropriate installation method for the material and construction of the wall.
The 210 × 320 mm front panel and 107 mm cabinet depth provide a compact wall-mounted installation. The speaker is available in white Silk White or black Silk Black finishes.

FAQ
What amplifier should I choose?
Choose an amplifier rated within the recommended 10-120 W range that can operate stably with a 4-ohm load. The speaker’s nominal impedance is 8 ohms.
How do I connect the speaker to a stereo amplifier or AV receiver?
Use speaker cable and connect it to the appropriate channel output. Maintain the correct polarity at both ends of the cable.
How should the speakers be positioned in a stereo system?
Mount the two speakers at a similar height and arrange them symmetrically in relation to the listening position. This makes it easier to maintain an even balance between the left and right channels.
How should I integrate the speaker with a subwoofer?
Adjust the crossover frequency and level while listening from the main seating position. If a phase control is available, select the setting that produces the smoothest bass response.
Does the stated weight apply to one speaker?
Yes. The stated weight of 4.35 kg applies to one speaker. The available information does not specify whether the product is sold individually or as a pair.
What should I consider when mounting it on a wall?
Do not obstruct the rear bass-reflex ports, and account for the 4.35 kg weight of each speaker. Choose fixings that are suitable for the wall material.
