James Loudspeaker OW68QBE - 6.5" 3-Way BE Quad On-Wall Speaker 40"

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker OW68QBE is a 6.5" 3-way beryllium quad on-wall speaker in a 40" enclosure, built for high-performance commercial AV and luxury residential installations. Its extended cabinet and beryllium quad-tweeter array deliver reference-grade detail with added low-frequency presence, making this on-wall loudspeaker ideal for large screening rooms, executive boardrooms, and premium listening spaces. The surface-mount design installs without in-wall construction in finished interiors.

Product Description

The OW68QBE is among the flagship on-wall models in the James Loudspeaker collection, combining a 6.5" woofer, dedicated midrange, and beryllium quad-tweeter array in a true 3-way design housed in a 40" cabinet. The longer enclosure increases internal volume for stronger low-frequency output, while the beryllium tweeters provide extended, low-distortion high-frequency detail. Because it surface-mounts, the OW68QBE installs on retrofit and renovation projects without back-box access.

Within the beryllium quad family, the OW68QBE extends the standard-length OW66QBE to a 40" enclosure for greater output and visual presence in large rooms. Integrators preferring titanium tweeters may consider the OW68Q-M. The OW68QBE operates passively, running from standard amplifier channels and integrating cleanly into matrixed AV and high-end distributed audio systems.
