Description
The 100 ICW8 is an in-wall/in-ceiling speaker from Focal, designed to be integrated into the wall or ceiling of residential rooms. It is intended for background sound diffusion, stereo listening or Home Cinema use, depending on the room in which it is installed.
Its coaxial design combines a pivoting inverted dome aluminium tweeter, compact and low-directivity, with a 21 cm Polyglass diaphragm woofer. The pivoting tweeter allows the sound dispersion to be adjusted according to the listening position, while a specific filter promotes even listening even off the main axis, by limiting the effect of sound concentrated directly beneath the speaker, known as the 'shower effect'.
The unibody chassis and magnetic grilles, circular or square in shape and without a visible frame, allow for a discreet installation, flush with the wall or ceiling surface. Focal states that this speaker is also compatible with humid environments, allowing installation in a bathroom in addition to conventional living spaces.
This model is aimed at those seeking integrated and invisible sound diffusion, whether for background listening in a hallway or kitchen, a stereo setup in a bedroom, or a Home Cinema system in a dedicated room.
What to check before buying used
On the magnetic grilles, weakened magnetism or deformed fixings prevent the perfect flush fit to the wall or ceiling sought for this in-wall/in-ceiling model. Also check that the pivoting tweeter rotates freely without any stiff points, and that the Polyglass diaphragm shows no tearing or trace of moisture on the 21 cm woofer, as the stated use in humid rooms may accelerate this type of wear.
