REVIEWS
The E-IW8 is a flexible 3-way in-wall speaker designed for purpose-built home cinemas where both performance and integration matter. Whether flush-mounted behind an acoustically transparent screen or used on-wall in a modern media room it delivers a wide immersive soundstage and deep dynamicswhile its sealed cabinet and slim 117 mm profile allow it to virtually disappear into the wall.
With its compact footprint the E-IW8 is ideal for use as a left center or right speaker behind a screen where space for a vertical center is available. It can also be used as a more powerful surround channel in systems where dynamic headroom is a priority.
The E-IW8 integrates easily into Dolby Atmos and DTS:X systems and pairs naturally with XTZs E-IC6 or E-IC8 in-ceiling speakers to form a seamless immersive setup with matched tonality and spatial precision.

Engineered for clean, stable performance, the E-IW8’s 1" aluminum-magnesium dome tweeter delivers clear, detailed treble. Thanks to its fast impulse response and natural dispersion, this clarity is maintained even at reference volume or when placed behind an acoustically transparent screen, making it ideal for baffle wall installations.

Clear and consistent performance across the listening area.
Clean, fatigue-free treble
Stable and detailed sound, even at reference volume.
Screen-optimized clarity

Designed for modern cinema, the E-IW8 combines a 5-inch Kevlar midrange and an 8-inch Kevlar woofer, both with long-throw designs and custom motor systems developed through XTZ’s extensive in-house R&D. These drivers are precisely matched to the cabinet and use high-power magnets to ensure excellent linearity and uncompressed excursion. The lightweight, rigid Kevlar cones deliver fast transients, wide dynamic range, and tightly controlled bass, maintaining clarity and low distortion even at reference levels.
Balanced mid and low frequency output
Smooth transition from midrange to bass extending down to 80Hz for full body and impact.
Advanced Kevlar Cones
The ideal balance of rigidity and low mass allows the drivers to maintain tight control without distortion, even at reference volumes.
Cinema Tuned Dynamics
The drivers are specifically tuned for dynamic, high SPL cinema playback, handling demanding scenes with power and precision.
The E-IW8’s sealed cabinet is just 117 mm deep, making it ideal for flush baffle wall integration or discreet on wall mounting. The enclosure uses a 25 mm MDF front baffle with 18 mm side panels, all internally braced and damped to reduce vibration and preserve acoustic clarity.
Ideal for Shallow Baffle Walls
The sealed, slim profile design requires no rear port clearance, making it perfect for installation in tight spaces.
Rigid Enclosure
18mm thick MDF and internal damping prevents unwanted resonances and preserves clarity
Keyhole Mounts
Easily hang on screws for flexible placement as a left, center, or right channel
The E-IW82 features a carefully tuned crossover for smooth transitions between tweeter, midrange, and woofer drivers, which is crucial for the E-IW8’s natural and accurate sound. The result is a unified soundstage with natural voicing and excellent phase alignment.
Optimized for Coherence
Ensures seamless, phase-coherent driver integration for a unified and immersive soundstage.
Premium components
High-grade film capacitors and air-core inductors ensure great transparency and low distortion.
