Know before you buy
Yes, the On Wall 301 is designed for versatility. You can mount it horizontally or vertically, making it an excellent choice for a center, left, or right channel in a home theater setup.
With a frequency response down to 53 Hz, these speakers provide clear, detailed bass for most music and dialogue. However, if you are building a dedicated home theater system for movies, adding a subwoofer will help capture the deepest low-frequency effects.
No, the optional stands are sold separately. The speakers are primarily designed for wall mounting, but the stands offer a great alternative if you prefer not to drill into your walls.
These speakers are compatible with amplifiers up to 130 watts. Given their 87 dB sensitivity, they perform well with most standard home theater receivers or integrated amplifiers.
The Flax membrane is designed to be lightweight yet rigid, which helps reduce distortion and coloration. This results in a more natural, neutral sound profile with precise mid-range clarity and well-defined bass.
Yes, the included magnetic grille is easily removable, allowing you to showcase the Flax drivers or keep a clean, minimalist look depending on your preference.
