FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
IG8s2
ALL-ENVIRONMENT, IN-GROUND
OUTDOOR SPEAKER
• Purpose-built to be extremely durable in all weather
conditions
• Stylish design provides functional rigidity and extra
security when buried
• Generation 2 anodized metal alloy speaker cones (MDT)
maintain specied performance over a broad range of
temperatures (-20 to +160 degrees F; -29 - +71 C) for
consistent sound quality in every season
• UDIO (upside down/inside outside) driver employs
inverted diaphragm driven by voice coils wound both
inside and outside the former for extremely accurate
linearity, even at extreme volume levels
• Heavy-gauge epoxy-coated stainless steel grille
withstands the rigors of outdoor living
• MLS spiderless motor uses specially developed
Ferrouid to center the voice coil and eliminates
the distortion generated by spiders
• Sealed magnet gap locks out moisture and debris
• 1” coincident mounted tweeter with 8” woofer
positioned for optimum dispersion
• LLDP (Linked Low-Density Polyethylene) colorthrough
enclosures are acoustically inert and stand toughunder
abuse and in extreme conditions
• Advanced polymer cone surrounds resist UV rays,
chlorine, fertilizer and salt spray
• 70V multi-tap transformer standard for use with the
NEAR 6XL power amplier in 70V operation (can be
by-passed for 8-ohm systems)
• Signal connection via pre-terminated burial grade
cable exiting the bottom of the speaker enclosure;
the 8 conductor cable provides access to 70V taps
or selects 8-ohm operation
