These Loops 5.25" outdoor speakers are ideal for anyone looking to extend audio to gardens, patios, or other exposed areas. They offer versatile 100V or 8 Ohm compatibility and a weatherproof design for durability. A key benefit is their ability to blend into outdoor environments while providing clear sound. However, users must manually set the correct impedance via the rotary switch.

Yes, you can use them with a standard home stereo system by setting the rotary switch on the rear to the '8 OHM' position. Ensure your amplifier can handle the 8 Ohm load.
The 8 Ohm setting is for standard low-impedance Hi-Fi systems. The 100V setting is for multi-speaker installations where each speaker is connected in parallel to a dedicated 100V amplifier, allowing for easier power management across multiple units.
They are weatherproof with an IP54 rating, meaning they are protected against dust and splashing water. They are not designed for complete submersion.
The maximum power handling for these speakers at 8 Ohms is 90W (Peak), with a Power RMS of 45W.
While not explicitly recommended by the manufacturer, painting with a suitable exterior paint might be possible. However, ensure the paint does not obstruct the driver cone or ports, and be aware it may affect the warranty.
This listing is for a pair of speakers (2 speakers total). A mounting bracket is included with each speaker.
Check all cable connections are secure. Ensure the amplifier is powered on and set to the correct input source. Verify the impedance selector switch is correctly set (8 Ohm or 100V tapping).
Ensure the amplifier is not overdriven (clipping). Check the selected wattage tapping on a 100V system is appropriate for the amplifier's power output. For 8 Ohm systems, confirm the speaker is correctly matched to the amplifier's impedance rating.
Inspect the speaker cable for any damage. Ensure the rotary selector switch is firmly in its chosen position and not between settings.
Setup: Mount the speakers securely using the included bracket or M6 screw sockets. Ensure they are positioned to direct sound effectively. For 8 Ohm systems, verify the rotary selector switch on the rear of the speaker is set to the '8 OHM' position. For 100V systems, choose the desired wattage tapping (5W, 10W, 20W, or 30W) by aligning the switch with the corresponding mark.
Compatibility: These speakers are compatible with most amplifiers. For standard Hi-Fi systems, use the 8 Ohm setting. For distributed audio systems, utilize the 100V line tappings.
Care: Clean the speaker cabinets periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets. Ensure the speaker remains protected from direct, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions where possible to maximize lifespan.
