The AR-50 Audio Exciter is a high-performance, weatherproof sound transducer engineered to transform solid surfaces into powerful speakers. With a peak output of 50 W and an 8 Ω impedance, it is ideal for innovative audio applications such as retail displays, exhibitions, vehicles, marine environments, and bespoke sound installations. Its compact and durable design allows discreet integration while maintaining audio clarity.
Constructed with rugged materials and a precision driver, the AR-50 is built to withstand challenging environments. It features an IP68-rated, weatherproof housing, making it suitable for outdoor and marine deployment. It is supplied with a screw-on mounting plate (M5 thread) for secure attachment to a variety of surfaces but is not suitable for use on glass.

The AR-50 delivers clear and resonant audio, shaped by the acoustic characteristics of the surface to which it is mounted. Wooden surfaces yield warm, robust tones, while denser materials like metal offer crisper, articulated sound. Its compact and concealed design makes it ideal for hidden speaker applications--particularly in retail, automotive, or architectural sound systems.
