FEATURES&BENEFITS

Precision Crossover

An electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the music to the woofer and the tweeter. The two-way design of the OS-10’scrossover provides excellent stereo imaging and low distortion.

ElastoDynamicHybrid Dome Tweeter

In the past, every weather-resistant speaker has disappointed listeners with a fatiguing and harsh treble sound caused by tweeter ringing. In the course of developing our weather-resistant tweeter, we determined that tweeter ringing can be damped out by a microscopically thin elastomeric coating on a natural fiber dome substrate. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural sounding tweeter which still maintains extended frequency response.

Long Throw Polypropylene Woofer

The unusually stiff and light polypropylene cone, the butyl rubber surround, the substantial magnet, and the rigid steel basket are all optimized for large excur- sions of the woofer. In this way, the five and a quarter inch cone can create the same deep bass output of a much larger speaker moving small distances in and out. The end result is rich satisfying bass from a compact, weather-resistant loudspeaker.

Eight Ohm Impedance

The OS-10'sare designed to be part of a multi-room audio system. The OS-10's eight ohm impedance makes them compatible with virtually any amplifier. In addition, this permits multiple pairs of OS-10’sto be wired to a single amplifier with a Niles speaker selector.
