Know before you buy
Yes, the AWR-650-SM features a UV-resistant, durable enclosure specifically designed to withstand outdoor elements. While it is built for longevity, we recommend ensuring the wiring connections are properly sealed against moisture during installation.
Yes, this is a passive, wired speaker, meaning it requires an external amplifier or receiver to power it. With a power handling of 200 watts, it works best with an amplifier that can provide consistent power to drive the 8-ohm load.
The dual voice coil design allows the speaker to handle both left and right stereo channels from a single unit. This is particularly useful if you have limited space and need to provide full stereo sound from one location rather than needing a pair of speakers.
The sandstone finish is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural rock. It provides a rugged, textured appearance that helps the speaker blend into garden beds, patios, or landscaping features.
This model is designed as a surface-mount speaker, meaning it is intended to sit securely on a flat, stable surface like a patio floor, deck, or garden path. It is not designed to be hung or mounted vertically on a wall.
