Digital garden equipment is rare to find, but Niles' new weatherproof loudspeakers integrate with your plants and flowers.
Just in time for the summer season, Miami-based Niles Audio Corporation has introduced the RS6Si series GeoRealistic weatherproof loudspeaker and the PBS6i and PS6Si series outdoor planter speakers.
Niles RS6Si series' rock cabinet design is crafted to look like a real rock and incorporates the use of integrated textured aluminum grilles. The RS6Si is available in granite, speckled granite, sandstone, coral and an all-new shale brown finish. Featuring Niles proprietary injection molded TCC 6" woofer and two 1" Tetron tweeters, the RS6Si can be operated in three modes: monaural, traditional two-speaker stereo or single speaker stereo input — "Si" — where both left and right channels play simultaneously through the dual voice coil woofer and both tweeters to provide a stereo image. The RS6Si series utilizes Niles' proprietary Cone Forward design, which position the drive unit as close to the grille as possible.
Niles Outdoor Speakers
The Niles PB6Si planter box loudspeaker and the Niles PS6Si round planter loudspeaker both sport Niles' proprietary 6.5" dual voice coil woofer and two 1" fluid-cooled Tetron tweeters. Designed to handle the harshest of environments, each model is made of fiberglass and is protected by a UV-resistant paint. Drainage holes ensure plants will stay healthy, while screens allow for acoustic transparency and keep bugs and debris at bay. The discrete loudspeakers are wired for one-speaker stereo input or two-speaker stereo mode and a connection is insured by dual 3" burial-rated connection cables with waterproof wire-nuts.
All three speakers employ double seals on the woofer, tweeter and bottom cover and are tested to exceed US Military Standard 883 (MIL-STD-833) for salt fog, operating temperature, storage temperature, UV exposure and humidity.
The RS6Si series is selling for approximately $250, while the PB6Si and PS6Si are selling for approximately $400 and $350, respectively.
