FAQs
Can I use these speakers with a standard home stereo amplifier?
Yes, you can use them with a standard 8 OHM low impedance Hi-Fi system. However, it is crucial to set the rotary selector switch on each speaker to the 8 OHM position and connect only *one* speaker per amplifier channel to avoid damaging your amplifier.
How many of these speakers can I connect to a 100V amplifier?
You can connect multiple speakers to a 100V amplifier. The total wattage of all speakers connected should not exceed the amplifier's rated output wattage. You can adjust the individual speaker volume by selecting different wattage tappings (2.5W, 10W, 20W) on each speaker.
Are these speakers truly waterproof?
These speakers are rated IP54 weatherproof, which means they are protected against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction. They are suitable for outdoor use but should not be submerged in water.
What is the maximum power handling for these speakers?
In 8 OHM mode, the speakers can handle 35W RMS and a maximum of 70W. In 100V line mode, the available tappings are 2.5W, 10W, and 20W.
What is included in the package?
Each listing is for 4 speakers. Each speaker includes a mounting bracket and a 1-meter hard-wired speaker cable.
Can I mount these speakers without the included bracket?
Yes, the speakers feature M6 screw sockets on the rear, allowing for alternative mounting solutions if needed, provided they are compatible with the socket size.
Troubleshooting
No sound from speaker
Check all cable connections to the amplifier. Verify the amplifier is powered on and set to the correct input source. Ensure the speaker's rotary selector is set to a valid tapping or 8 OHM position. For 8 OHM systems, confirm only one speaker is connected per amplifier channel.
Distorted or poor sound quality
Ensure the speaker is set to the correct impedance (100V or 8 OHM) for your amplifier. Check that the wattage tapping selected on a 100V system is appropriate for the amplifier's output. If using an 8 OHM system, confirm the amplifier is not overloaded. Clean any debris from the speaker cone and grille.
Low volume
On a 100V system, select a higher wattage tapping on the rotary switch. Ensure the amplifier volume is turned up. Check for any impedance mismatches or incorrect wiring.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent durability for outdoor installations.
- Flexible connectivity options for various audio systems.
- Discreet and compact size.
- Easy to mount and set up.
- Good value for a pack of four speakers.
Cons
- Limited bass response due to the 4-inch driver size.
- 1M speaker cable may be insufficient for some installations.
- Setting the correct impedance switch is crucial for system compatibility.
- Sound quality may not satisfy audiophiles seeking high-fidelity music reproduction.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine your audio system type: 100V line or standard 8 OHM low impedance.
- If using a 100V system, set the rotary selector switch on each speaker to the desired wattage tapping (2.5W, 10W, or 20W).
- If using an 8 OHM system (e.g., a standard Hi-Fi amplifier), ensure the switch is set to the 8 OHM position. Crucially, connect only one speaker to a standard 8 OHM amplifier channel, as multiple 8 OHM speakers in parallel will drop the impedance too low and could damage the amplifier.
- Mount the speaker using the included bracket, ensuring it is securely fastened. The bracket allows for directional adjustment.
- Connect the hard-wired speaker cable to your amplifier's appropriate speaker output.
Compatibility:
- 100V Systems: Compatible with any 100V amplifier. Multiple speakers can be connected in parallel.
- 8 OHM Systems: Compatible with standard low impedance Hi-Fi amplifiers. Only one speaker per amplifier channel is recommended.
Care:
- Wipe the speaker cabinet with a slightly damp cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the speaker grille is free of debris to maintain sound quality.
- Periodically check the mounting bracket and cable for secure connections.
