FEATURES&BENEFITS

Looks Natural, Sounds Great

Traditionally, rock speakers have looked like ornaments and not like rocks. Each RS8Si style has unique textures and colors that are fashioned after natural rocks. Shaped grilles match the features on the front of the rock, making them blend into

the cabinet. All of this extra attention to detail leads to a GeoRealistic™ style that enables the RS8Si to blend in with other landscaping and disappear. All that will be

noticed is the great sound not the loudspeaker.

Weatherproof Construction

The cabinet is made from fiberglass, it utilizes double seals on the tweeter, woofer

and enclosure cover, the woofer drains water away from it, the grilles are painted aluminum and the drivers are made from weather resistant materials. The RS8Si has

passed the most stringent environmental tests devised. Surviving over 5 years worth of temperature cycling and still having seals that pass a 24-hour submersion test. It has passed the test requirements for Salt Fog, Operating Temperature, Storage Temperature, UV Exposure and Humidity per military test standard 883. Whether you are considered about salt-air, rain, freezing rain, snow, extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight or combinations of these conditions, the RS8Si has proven itself to withstand the harshest conditions Mother Nature can throw at it.

8" Injection Molded TCC Woofer with Dual Voice Coils

The unusually stiff and light injection molded TCC (talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled) polypropylene cone, the butyl rubber surround, and the substantial magnet and motor structure are optimized for large excursions of the woofer. In this way, the 8" woofer can create superior bass output. Since it has a dual voice coil, it has the added advantage of playing in stereo. In the end, the woofer design combines deep rich bass and outstanding weather resistance capabilities with the ability to play in stereo.

Dual 1" Teteron Tweeters

In the past, rock speakers have used a co-axial tweeter design that has disappointed listeners with a fatiguing and harsh treble sound caused by tweeter ringing. The RS8Si’s dual 1" Teteron tweeters utilize a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer which forms the dome, a high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparent clear, sweet, natural sounding tweeter, which still maintains its extended frequency response. Having two separate tweeters allows the cabinet to play in one-speaker stereo mode or two-speaker stereo mode.

Tweeter Placement Improves Coverage and Dispersion

The tweeters are angled twenty degrees up from the woofer. They are also angled twenty degrees from each other. This means that they are “aimed” at the listener and not at the ground. They are aimed away from each other to improve stereo imagining, if the loudspeaker is wired in the one-speaker stereo mode. If it is wired
