Description
Download Manual The SquareRoot 6.5 is an outdoor planter that doubles as a weather-resistant 2-way speaker – designed to blend landscaping with distributed audio. It combines a 6.5in coaxial woofer and a 0.75in dome tweeter to deliver full-range sound from an unobtrusive planter form. The enclosure is rotation-molded polyethylene formulated for long-term UV stability and outdoor exposure.
This model includes a 64 watt transformer for integration into 70 volt distributed systems and offers selectable transformer taps for 25V / 70.7V / 100V operation. The acoustic design provides omnidirectional dispersion for even coverage around the planter while maintaining a nominal 4 ohm impedance for direct low-impedance connection when desired. Sensitivity measures allow efficient use with both low-power and higher-power amplifiers.
Acoustic performance is specified at 65 Hz – 20 kHz (±10 dB) and 76 Hz – 19.5 kHz (±3 dB), supporting clear mids and highs for background music and voice content. RMS power handling is 70 W with a 140 W program rating to handle dynamic material and transients. Measured sensitivity is 89 dB @ 1W/1M and 92 dB @ 2.83V/1M, indicating effective acoustic output for its size.
Connectivity is by wire leads and the included wire nuts simplify field wiring during installation. The planter includes drainage to remain a functional landscape element while protecting the driver assembly, and the transformer tap selector is accessible for site tuning. Compliance to CE and RoHS ensures it meets common regulatory expectations for commercial and residential installations.
Typical applications include distributed background audio in outdoor dining areas, patios, gardens and poolside spaces where visual integration is required. The SquareRoot 6.5 provides unobtrusive coverage for music and paging while maintaining landscape aesthetics. Multiple units can be deployed to create zoned outdoor coverage with 70V systems or grouped for stereo placement using low-impedance amplification.
Installation and maintenance are straightforward – the planter form is durable, UV-stable and designed for outdoor exposure, and the wiring access and included wire nuts reduce installation time. The product ships in Granite Grey and arrives ready for either low-impedance or 70V transformer-based system configuration. Its build quality and transformer options support reliable long-term outdoor audio deployments.
