Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G – Slim On-Wall Speaker for Hi-Fi and Home Cinema

The Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G is a wall-mounted speaker that sounds like a classic bookshelf speaker – with bass down to 44 Hz (-6 dB), 112 dB peak sound pressure, and its 2-way design, it excels in both music and home cinema applications.

The main reason for this is its 6"/152 mm C-CAM RST III bass/midrange driver and the 25 mm C-CAM Gold tweeter with UD Waveguide II, which make the Silver On-Wall 8G a full-fledged hi-fi and home cinema speaker. Don't let its slim design fool you – there's real music in here! The technology behind the speaker is called C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) - a diaphragm technology developed by Monitor Audio, which is used in almost all speaker series from the British brand.

What makes the Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G special:

• Finds a place anywhere – Flexibly mountable on the wall; both horizontally and vertically

• Completely redesigned C-CAM Gold tweeter - Natural and clear, precise treble range

• Slimmer Uniform Dispersion Waveguide II - Wider, larger and more natural soundstage presentation

• 6"/152 Millimeter C-CAM RST III bass/midrange driver - Punchy, distortion-free bass and realistic voice reproduction

• Available in three color variants - High-gloss black, satin white and walnut real wood veneer are available

Flexible and sonically powerful - Performs at its absolute best when placed close to the wall

At first glance, the Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G seems to be a slim effect speaker for home cinema, but far from it! Despite its slim design, it offers all the sonic qualities of a "classic" bookshelf speaker, only it is mounted directly on the wall and thus saves space. Once mounted, it impresses with deep and structured bass, without sounding bloated due to the proximity to the wall, a harmonious, homogeneous midrange and voice range, as well as natural and transparent highs.

Completely redesigned C-CAM Gold tweeter and RST III diaphragm - The best Silver series ever!

In the Silver 8G series, the new 25 millimeter C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) Gold tweeter with improved ventilation and cooling is used, which keeps the treble clean and precise even at high levels. In addition, the redesigned, slimmer UD (Uniform Dispersion) Waveguide II with its flatter profile compared to the previous series ensures a more natural, wider and larger soundstage presentation, which brings the listener even closer to the original.

In the bass and midrange, the new RST (Rigid Surface Technology) III diaphragm works with a new, progressive, even firmer centering spider for more precision and an optimized surround, for an even more harmonious sound image and less distortion across all frequencies.

Sonically and electrically easy-going – The Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G is pleasantly uncomplicated

With a minimum impedance of 5.5 ohms, the Silver On-Wall 8G is absolutely amplifier-agnostic and gets along perfectly with smaller amplifiers too. Its moderate efficiency of 88 dB underscores this once again, what amplifiers with a practical 50 watts continuous power per channel require (but the amplifier can have more power).

The Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G effortlessly fills rooms up to 20 square meters on its own with its maximum level of 112 dB. Anyone looking for more level or bass depth can simply add a suitable subwoofer of their choice and thus create their perfect sub/sat system with the best of both worlds. Resolution and naturalness in the treble and midrange as well as structure and depth in the bass range.

Our conclusion on the Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G

No space to place speakers and high-quality hi-fi and home cinema sound do not have to exclude each other. The Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G impressively proves this, which is screwed directly to the wall; horizontally or vertically, just the way it fits. Once mounted, the C-CAM Gold tweeter and the RST III bass/midrange driver show what they are capable of – namely, with minimal space requirements, flooding the room with balanced, lively sound in music and home cinema, making you forget its compact cabinet size.

The most important things about the Monitor Audio Silver On-Wall 8G at a glance:

Whether stereo or home cinema, the Silver On-Wall 8G is suitable for almost any amplifier from 50 watts power per channel with its easy-going impedance curve and a minimum of 5.5 ohms at 20 kilohertz as well as its moderate efficiency of 88 dB (measured at 2.83 Vrms at a distance of one meter). In addition, due to the wall mounting and tuning, it is almost universally usable in any room – even where there is actually no space for speakers.

Its frequency response from 44 Hertz to 35 kilohertz makes it clear that it plays high, but in the bass range, it may be worth adding a subwoofer for a full-fledged sound image. The compact cabinet ensures punchy and precise bass and the maximum sound pressure of 112 dB (per speaker) shows that this small speaker is surprisingly level-stable.
