Product Description
The Focal Littoria SAT5 Outdoor Speaker is a two-way outdoor speaker with a 13CM bass midrange driver and an M-shaped inverted dome tweeter. It delivers accurate sound over a wide area and has a power handling of 50 watts. Moreover, it can be used on 8 Ohm or 70/100 V systems as it has a built-in transformer. The robust exterior can withstand extreme weather and extreme climates for reliable operation all year round. It can be wall or stand-mounted and has an adjustable bracket.
Speaker construction and positioning
The Focal Littoria SAT5 Outdoor Speaker is ruggedized for outdoor use and is IP55 certified. The casing is also UV resistant and can withstand extreme weather. The speaker is available in dark or light colours. This type of satellite speaker can be placed discretely, close to where people are sitting, rather than having the speaker mounted on a building. Hence it is suitable for gardens.
What to know about outdoor speakers
There are several types of outdoor speakers. They are usually ruggedized and can be used in any climate. They can either be built into a wall or structure or be free-standing. The Focal Littoria SAT5 Outdoor Speaker can be attached to an external wall or mounted lower down, on the ground. Outdoor speakers come in various colours that will blend in with the landscape. These include stone-shaped speakers as well as subwoofers.
Another issue is how to drive outdoor speakers. The Focal Littoria SAT5 Outdoor Speaker can be used with conventional amplifiers or AV receivers, that have an 8 Ohm output. However, the speaker also has a built-in transformer for 70/100 V systems. This type of system is used for larger installations, where zones can be created, using a series of speakers that are all connected to the same source. Different taps are available that affect the volume of each speaker in the chain.
