Rockin’ in the Rain: Dual’s 2-Way Outdoor Rock Speaker
No matter if you’re poolside on a hot summer day or feeling a chill in the air while stargazing on a fall night, nothing compares to the great outdoors when entertaining your guests. And the perfect complement to your party is the sounds from your stereo, whether lightly providing discreet background music or some thumpin’ bass for an impromptu dance floor on the lawn.
But, the great outdoors is known for sudden changes in temperature, wind, and other weather-related issues that would raise havoc on expensive home stereo speakers — even one use outside could permanently damage them. So, what a game of lawn darts to do with no tunes? With Dual’s 2-way outdoor rock speakers — problem solved!
LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
With the LUR66E speaker’s rock-like appearance, it blends into the surrounding environment for an unobtrusive presence. Plus, you can place it virtually anywhere outside that you want to hear music — patio, back yard, second floor deck, etc.
Dual 6.5” 2-Way Rock Speakers (Model No: LUR66E)
Just because the LUR66E has a rugged look of weathered sandstone, doesn’t mean it has to live its entire life outdoors. When the party is over, use the speaker in terrariums, interior gardens, or simply keep them connected to your home stereo system. Plus, with each speaker weighing a measly 6.2 pounds, transporting them will be a breeze.
DESIGN
The LUR66E is extremely versatile and has a weather resistant design using the most durable components, including a fiber-reinforced poly resin composite enclosure. This allows it to resist rain, hail, snow, and coastal environments while still appearing natural and inconspicuous. Even after years of use, the LUR66E will provide a superior level of sun fade resistance and the reduced appearance of water marks. The LUR66E measures 9.63” wide x 8.75” deep x 8.75” tall and has a 10 ounce magnet.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
Although the LUR66E speaker is designed to resist weather and withstand unfriendly environmental conditions, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long-term life and performance. Keep soil and other debris from covering the speaker grille. For easy cleaning, debris can be easily rinsed away with a garden hose using low water pressure sprayed at a 45-degree angle.
Yard care chemicals constitute another element that can prematurely shorten the LUR66E’s life. Lawn fertilizers and weed control sprays, and similar chemicals commonly used in lawn and garden care can potentially cause damage to the rubber and speaker components.
CONNECTIONS
The LUR66E rock speaker has a two-conductor speaker wire surrounded by a cable sleeve exiting the bottom of the speaker. Any speaker cable used to extend the connection should be of a similar size (wire gauge) running from the speaker location to your audio system.
The cable or wire can be run either directly beneath the speaker into the ground, or you can use the notch on the bottom edge of the speaker enclosure to exit the cable out the rear for hard-surface installations. For the best audio results, try to minimize the distance between your speaker and the audio source (optimum run should be no longer than 50 feet). Wire runs longer than 50 feet may require larger gauge wire (e.g., 14 or 12).
SOUND COVERAGE & SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Each LUR66E is sold separately, as many outdoor installations have multiple zones. Most applications will include the installation of two speakers to ensure adequate sound coverage. When reviewing your placement choices, allow for an approximate coverage area of 100 to 450 sq. ft. (per pair).
