Know before you buy
The 60-SM uses a dual voice-coil bass/midrange driver paired with two coaxially mounted high-frequency drivers. This configuration allows the unit to receive both left and right channels simultaneously, delivering a stereo image from a single point source.
Yes, the enclosure is built to be weather, water, and UV-resistant. It also features a self-draining design to prevent water from pooling inside the unit during rain or snow.
This speaker has an impedance of 8 ohms per channel when used in stereo mode. Most standard home audio amplifiers or multi-zone receivers will be compatible, provided they can handle a 4-ohm load if you choose to run it in mono mode.
The finish is designed to blend discreetly into landscaping, mimicking the texture and appearance of natural rock. It is intended to be subtle rather than a focal point, helping it disappear among plants and garden features.
The 60-SM includes a security stake that helps anchor the unit to the ground. This provides a basic level of theft deterrence for permanent outdoor installations.
While the 60-SM offers wide dispersion, it is best suited for smaller outdoor areas, patios, or zones where space is limited. For very large yards, you may need multiple units to achieve consistent sound coverage.
