James Loudspeaker OW52QT - 19mm Quadratech On-Wall Speaker 5"

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker OW52QT is a QuadraTech on-wall 5" speaker built for commercial AV spaces that demand high output and wide coverage from a surface-mount enclosure. Its QuadraTech quad-tweeter array delivers extended high-frequency detail, making this on-wall loudspeaker a strong choice for larger conference rooms, lecture halls, and premium retail environments. The cabinet mounts directly to the wall, avoiding the need for in-wall construction in finished interiors.

Product Description

Part of the on-wall lineup in the James Loudspeaker collection, the OW52QT pairs a 5.25" woofer with the QuadraTech 19mm quad-tweeter array to spread high-frequency energy evenly across the listening area. This configuration improves intelligibility and imaging in rooms where a single tweeter would struggle to cover the space. Because it surface-mounts, the OW52QT installs quickly on renovation and retrofit projects where back-box access is limited.

Within the QuadraTech family, the OW52QT serves as the stereo left/right option, while the OW53QT adds an LCR configuration for presentation and screening rooms. Integrators specifying greater output frequently step up to the 6.5" OW62QT. The OW52QT operates passively, running from standard amplifier channels and integrating cleanly into zoned distributed audio and matrixed AV systems.
