Choosing Adastra Weatherproof Speakers

Check how exposed the position is, then choose the speaker type and how it will be driven.

IP rating and location

Weather protection differs across the range, so match the rating to the site. The 952.102UK horn speaker is IP66, the 952.251UK column speaker is IP55 for sheltered outdoor areas, and BP Series speakers such as the 952.813UK are IP54. FC Series speakers such as the 952.964UK are IP44 and UV protected to ASTM D4329, and FS Series speakers such as the 952.963UK are IP35.

Line voltage and impedance

BP Series speakers such as the 952.812UK and FC Series speakers such as the 952.962UK have a rotary selector switch for 100V line tappings or 8 ohms operation. The 952.625UK BG Series speaker runs on 100V or 16 Ohm. With the 300.141UK package, keep the combined tapped speaker wattage below 90% of the amplifier’s maximum output.

Speaker types

Sound projectors such as the 952.942UK carry music and speech from an adjustable steel mounting bracket. The 952.246UK and 952.247UK horn speakers carry EN54-24 fire rating, with a fire-resistant cable, junction box and thermal fuse, for voice announcements and alerts. The 952.961UK is a 2-way FS Series speaker with an indoor/outdoor equalisation switch for outdoor events, swimming pools and garden areas.

Active speakers and packages

Active speakers have a built-in amplifier. The 952.103UK compact horn runs from a 12Vdc 1.2A supply (not supplied) and suits voice alerts in CCTV and security systems. The Smart Pack Outdoor2 (300.104UK) pairs a compact stereo amplifier with 2 IP44 wall speakers, and the 300.141UK package combines an RM-series 100V mixer-amp with WSP25 sound projectors and 100m of speaker cable.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose Adastra outdoor speakers?

Choose Adastra outdoor speakers by the amplifier they will run on, the weather they face and the sound you need. Pick a 100V line model for long cable runs and many speakers, or an active speaker or amplifier kit for a small system. Check the IP rating, and consider horn speakers or sound projectors for announcements. The range here includes weatherproof wall speakers, horns and sound projectors.

What are Adastra weatherproof speakers?

Adastra weatherproof speakers are loudspeakers built to resist rain and dust, so they can be fitted outdoors or in damp areas such as gardens, patios and car parks. Look for a rating such as IP54 or IP66 to judge protection, where a higher second digit means better water resistance. The range here includes fire-rated horns, sound projectors and background music speakers.
