Focal 100 IWLCR5

The Focal 100 IWLCR5 is a cutting-edge in-wall LCR loudspeaker designed in France. This speaker is the perfect blend of technology, elegant design, and performance. It is part of Focal’s 100 Series, a range known for its compact design and exceptional sound quality. It is primarily intended for home theater use (dedicated room, living space, etc.) in small to medium-sized rooms, and it’s also suitable for any room in the house.

Sound quality

The Focal 100 IWLCR5 is equipped with a new, aimable aluminum inverted-dome tweeter that is more compact and improves sound dispersion. This speaker also features a three-position switch that lets you tailor the tweeter and mid-bass driver to the acoustic environment.

With a sensitivity of 89 dB, this speaker can be driven by as little as 25 W per channel. It also features two 13 cm Polyglass cone drivers—Focal’s signature—known for rich mids and tight bass response. Together, they create a soundstage that is both expansive and detailed, enveloping the listener in pure sound.

Versatile placement

The Focal 100 IWLCR5 can be installed horizontally or vertically, making it a versatile choice for a variety of living spaces. When placed horizontally, it can be used as a center channel in home theater systems, delivering cinema-like sound in a compact footprint.

Compact, elegant design

The Focal 100 IWLCR5 is compact yet powerful, making it ideal for small to medium-sized rooms. Its speaker basket and chassis have been redesigned to present a frameless, square profile, resulting in a discreet and aesthetically pleasing design.
