These compact speakers deliver balanced audio with clear highs and adequate mid-to-low frequency response, despite their small size. The 100 V line tappings facilitate daisy-chaining across multiple units, particularly useful in large or open-area installations. IP44 weather resistance and UV protection boost reliability in harsh environments. Mounting flexibility ensures clean installation with minimal visual impact.
Q1: Can these be used both indoors and outdoors?
A: Yes--IP44 weatherproofing, UV protection, and polypropylene construction make them suitable for a range of exterior and interior applications.
Q2: What are the advantages of the 100 V line option?
A: The 100 V line system allows multiple speakers to be powered from a single amplifier output, ideal for background audio distribution across larger spaces.
Q3: How does the equalisation switch help outdoors?
A: It boosts high frequencies to offset sound loss in open environments, improving clarity.
Q4: Are both finishes identical in performance?
A: Yes--the difference is purely aesthetic (white vs black); all technical specifications and performance metrics are identical.
Q5: Is mounting hardware included?
A: Yes--a mounting bracket is supplied with each speaker, and there are M6 threaded sockets for alternate mounting options.
