Know before you buy
The Rock Monitor 60-SM uses a dual voice-coil driver and two tweeters within one enclosure to handle both left and right channels. This allows you to get a stereo image from a single unit, which is ideal for smaller outdoor spaces where placing two separate speakers isn't practical.
Yes, the enclosure is fully sealed and weather-resistant, specifically engineered to withstand exposure to the elements. While it is built for durability, we recommend ensuring it is placed on a stable surface where it won't be submerged in standing water.
This speaker works with standard home audio amplifiers or receivers. It performs best with an amplifier rated between 15 and 100 watts per channel, ensuring you have enough headroom to drive the dual voice-coil system effectively.
The finish is designed to mimic natural rock textures, making it highly effective at disappearing into landscaping. Between the Northeastern Dark Granite and Fieldstone options, you can choose the shade that best matches the existing stones or mulch in your yard.
With a low-frequency extension down to 44 Hz, it provides a surprisingly full sound for its size. While it won't replace a dedicated outdoor subwoofer, it delivers a natural, balanced midrange and bass response suitable for background music and casual listening.
