James Loudspeaker OW43 - 3" 2-Way LCR On-Wall Speaker

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker OW43 is a 3" 2-way LCR on-wall speaker designed for commercial AV rooms that combine video presentation with high-quality audio. This on-wall LCR loudspeaker supports left, center, and right channel placement, making it well suited to boardrooms, training rooms, and home-theater-style conference spaces. Its surface-mount cabinet installs without in-wall construction, streamlining deployment in finished commercial interiors.

Product Description

The OW43 belongs to the on-wall series within the James Loudspeaker collection, where it serves integrators who need a discreet LCR solution behind or beside a display. The 3" driver and dedicated tweeter deliver clear dialogue and balanced music reproduction across all three channel positions. Because it surface-mounts, the OW43 fits renovation projects and rooms where cutting into walls is not an option.

Compared with the standard OW42, the OW43 adds the LCR configuration that presentation and screening rooms require for accurate center-channel imaging. Larger rooms may instead call for the QuadraTech OW53QT, which steps up to a 5" platform. The OW43 operates passively, allowing it to run from conventional amplifier channels and integrate cleanly into matrixed AV systems and zoned distributed audio.
