Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio Indoor/Outdoor
Speakers. This all-purpose 3-way speaker system is perfect
for a deck or patio and is also ideal for use as home speakers.
They feature a 6-1/2" polypropylene cone woofer with a rubber
surround, a 5/8" polycarbonate tweeter, and a 5/8" piezoelectric
super tweeter to produce smooth detailed sound. Wet or dry
these speakers are ready to perform. The weather-resistant
ABS speaker cabinets and painted aluminum grills provide
protection for use outdoors under an awning or soffit (not in
direct contact with rain or sun). Includes “U” style brackets,
mounting hardware and gold plated 5-way binding posts.
Available in both white and black finish.
