Bogen IG6S2M 6-1/2″ 2-way Weatherproof In-ground/On-ground Omnidirectional Loudspeaker, Mulch Brown Enclosure

The IG6s2M replaces the original IG6 model and features the Generation 2 Metal Diaphragm Technology cone that is lighter and stiffer than the original MDT cone. The result is a broadband 3dB increase in sensitivity and more than 4dB in the midrange – making the IG6s2M easier for amplifiers to drive and better sounding with more “open” midrange and greater vocal presence. Like other NEAR speakers, the IG6s2M is truly weather-proof, not just “weather-resistant,” and can be used totally exposed to the elements. The IG enclosure is color-through, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene that sheds moisture, dirt and chemicals. The UV inhibitor pigments are embedded uniformly throughout the material so the sun won’t fade or yellow the color and garden tools won’t easily mar their looks.

Features

• Purpose-built to be extremely durable in all weather conditions, mounted in-ground
• Stylish design provides functional rigidity and extra security when buried
• Generation 2 anodized metal alloy speaker cones (MDT) maintain specified 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 out) driver employs 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 rigors of outdoor living
• MLS spiderless motor uses specially developed ferrofluid 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 6.5” woofer positioned for optimum dispersion
• LLDP (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) color-through enclosures are acoustically inert and stand tough under 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 amplifier in 70V operation – can be by-passed for 8 ohm use
• Signal connection via pre terminated 8-conductor burial grade cable exiting the bottom of the enclosure
• Color: Mulch Brown enclosure with matching grille
