You can run the 6T as a constant voltage or 8 Ohm loudspeaker. This is a loudspeaker that will survive pretty much anything you can throw at it. What’s more it has an IEC529 compliance for protection against the internal electronics. The 6T conforms to the military spec 810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature and UV. So rain, sprinklers and hoses aren’t going to dampen this mushroom’s performance. For starters, it’s IP66 rated - which means it’s built to handle everything bar full submersion. So you’ll get a pleasing sensation of bass without the rumble.Ĭrucially, the Omni 6T comes with a laundry list of environment certificates. The low-end response is quoted as being 3dB down at 60Hz. It has a quoted average max SPL of 107dB at one metre, which is more than enough welly for the local fauna to dive for cover. It’s a two-way design, combining a 6.5-inch LF unit with four HF devices, producing an omnidirectional dispersion in the horizontal. The Sonance Omni 6T is the latest generation of outdoor mushroom loudspeaker. (It’s worth noting, Sonance has rock, submerged and mushroom models… horses for courses, depending on the application.) TOADSTOOL RULES The other tried and tested approach to outdoor audio is the mushroom format. Other models are designed to be buried and use a snorkel arrangement. I’ve always admired the camouflaging abilities of loudspeakers masquerading as a rock in the garden bed. You need a high IP rating they need to be sturdy enough to handle a knock or a whipper snipper and they need to be relatively tamper proof. Placing speakers in the wild, so to speak, is tricky. Alfresco music is always welcome and achievable when you have some kind of structure from which to hang surfacemount loudspeakers.īut in the event that you don’t, the options narrow.
