Consumers overwhelmingly value the PRO-500-T-RK for its exceptional outdoor reliability and superior sound quality.

Know before you buy
Yes, the PRO-500-T-RK is built with a durable, UV-resistant fiberglass cabinet and carries an IP45 rating. This means it is specifically engineered to withstand dust and water exposure in various outdoor climates.
Absolutely. The speaker features a versatile 8-ohm bypass mode, allowing you to connect it directly to a standard home audio amplifier just like a traditional indoor speaker.
This feature is ideal for larger outdoor spaces where you need to run multiple speakers over long distances. It allows you to daisy-chain several units together without the signal loss or impedance issues you would encounter with a standard 8-ohm system.
The speaker features a 105° horizontal dispersion pattern, which provides a broad, even sound field. This makes it effective for filling medium-sized patio or garden areas with clear audio.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the tool-free rotary switch, which allows you to easily adjust your tap settings for 70V/100V systems or switch to 8-ohm mode without needing specialized equipment.
Not at all. While the fiberglass cabinet is designed to blend into your landscape, it houses a high-performance 5" IMG woofer and a Tractrix horn-loaded 1" aluminum dome tweeter to deliver the signature, clear Klipsch sound you would expect from their indoor speakers.
