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-20’scrossover provides excellent stereo imaging and low distortion.

ElastoDynamic™ Hybrid 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-20'sare designed to be part of a multi-room audio system. The OS- 20's eight ohm impedance makes them compatible with virtually any amplifier. In addition, this permits multiple pairs of OS-20’sto be wired to a single ampli- fier with a Niles speaker selector.

Rigid, Acoustically Inert Enclosure

The cabinet of the OS-20is composed of mineral filled polypropylene. This material is extremely non-resonant. All you hear is the music.

Low Diffraction Grill and Front Baffle

The grill of the OS-20has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grill. The front baffle is gently curved in a radius opti- mized for the best sound. Sound waves emanating from the woofer and the tweeter are not reflected by the surrounding parts of the speaker.

Tapering Shape

The cabinet of the OS-20is shaped so that the speaker will tuck discretely away into corners or under eaves.

Swiveling Bracket

The U-shaped bracket and bracket knobs allow the OS-20to be pointed at the optimum listening position and locked into place quickly and easily.

Easy Three-Way Mounting System

1.The OS-20can be hung from a nail using the nail hole on the bracket.

2.The bracket can be screwed into the mounting surface using your hardware.

3.The OS-20is equipped with 1/4-20 threaded inserts for OmniMount® or custom brackets.

Stable Shelf Placement

The rubber inserts on the bracket knobs serve as one of the speaker's feet when the OS-20is placed directly on a shelf or desktop without the bracket. In addi- tion, two feet are molded into the base of the cabinet to give added stability.
