Capri Outdoor speaker

Product Description

The Capri is the first high-performance all­weather speaker system designed to sound
good outside.

Outdoor Use

We designed the Capri outside and tested it in
a variety of outdoor configurations.

Faithfully reproducing music outdoors presents
several acoustic challenges — most notably the
difficulty in maintaining a satisfying bass level.
We use a high power-handling bass unit and
sophisticated crossover network to provide
plenty of bass, even as far away as 40' from the
speaker.

Capri Features

• Completely weather-resistant.

•Broad dispersion eliminates “hot spots”.

• High power handling drivers play loud
without strain.

• Spreads sound over a 40 x 40' area for wide
coverage outdoors.

• Includes adjustable C-clamp bracket.

Product Construction

Cabinetry

The Capri cabinet is molded from polypropylene and
is resistant to precipitation, heat, cold, UV rays and
salt spray. It can be painted.

Bass Unit

Our custom built 5⁄" bass unit features a plastic cone
and butyl rubber surround. The basket is powder
coated to resist rust. Stainless steel screws affix the
gasketed bass unit to the cabinet.

Tweeter

The 1" aluminum dome tweeter has extremely broad
dispersion, spreading sound across a large area for
full outdoor coverage. All tweeter components are
weather-resistant.

Port

We port the Capri to achieve maximum bass
response. In cases when the Capri is exposed to
direct precipitation, the port can be plugged to create
a completely sealed enclosure. A bug screen is
installed inside the port to prevent nesting.

Three Mounting Choices

We include an aluminum C-clamp bracket for
horizontal or vertical mounting. Picture hook inserts
on the back of the cabinet allow flush mounting
against the wall. Brass ⁄ x 20 inserts on the back
accommodate commercial swivel brackets

On-Board Tuning

By methodically measuring the effects of room size,
building materials, furnishings, and speaker
placement on music reproduction, we create
products that sound great in any room of your home.
We’re pioneers in this field—the first, and we believe,
only speaker company to focus entirely on designing
speakers mindful of the interaction of placement on
room acoustics.

Outdoors and Boundary

Speakers tuned for indoor use rely on the walls, floors
and ceilings to increase bass response. But if a
speaker is tuned indoors, then moved outside, the
lack of walls creates a distinct fall-off in bass. In short,
there is no practical way to build a speaker that
sounds as good outside as it does in. We designed
the Capri specifically for outdoor placement, so it will
sound natural when you’re by the pool or in the
garden.
