An in-wall wirelessly operable speaker control system has a control unit configured to be mounted into a wall or similar surface, particularly an electrical socket cavity. A mobile phone or other computing device may be communicably coupled with a processing unit of the control unit through a wireless communication device of the control unit. The processing unit is communicably coupled with one or more speakers. Input may be received through the wireless communication device from the computing device in order to control playback of media items through the coupled speakers.
