Monitor Audio presents All-Weather speakers
The All-Weather series from technology specialist Monitor Audio is made up of in-ceiling and wall speakers that can be used in bathrooms, saunas, beach houses and boats. The flush-fitting design of the four AWC models creates a heightened level of protection against water, dust, corrosion, UV and temperature, giving the custom installations long-term reliability in the most challenging of conditions.
Developed using C-CAM driver systems derived from the company’s hi-fi speakers, the series comprises stylish two-way 61/2” and 8” models with single speaker stereo variants, the AWC265-T2 and AWC280-T2. Finished in anodised black for stealthy in-ceiling or wall integration, the C-CAM bass drivers combine co-axially with Monitor Audio’s 1” C-CAM tweeters, which are twinned and angled on the T2 versions to deliver high performance stereo sound from a single unit where space is limited.
Protecting the drive systems are low profile trimless grills engineered from high-grade stainless steel and fixed using special non-corroding rare earth magnets. The rear of each model is polymer encased to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture, and where it meets ceiling or wall, a layer of specially formulated EPDM barrier material ensures a long-lasting waterproof seal. Also at the back, silicon-guard-protected push terminals are joined by high frequency level adjustment controls, designed to optimise response in a range of environments from wide open spaces to tiled pool areas.
Trouble-free and secure installation is offered through Monitor Audio’s Tri-grip fixing system, which is easier to install than conventional dog fixings and provides three times the clamping surface area for a better surface seal, maximising bass response and mid-range clarity.
The AWC series, along with the established Climate range of weather-proof speakers, extends the choice of robust all-weather options available from Monitor Audio’s latest line-up, adding discreet, weather-proof high performance to a growing list of reliable solutions.
