General Description
The MX Series all-weather loudspeakers are the ideal choice for supplying high-fidelity sound in both indoor
and outdoor applications.
Their advanced polymer housing is designed to be acoustically inert, while being capable of a long life in
harsh environments - without becoming degraded by exposure to sunlight and salty air.
Mounting hardware and metal parts are made from corrosion resistant materials, and installation in direct
rain exposed locations is possible.
The MX Series is available in black (MX601/MX801) or white (MX601W/MX801W) cabinets finished in clear
low sheen finish formulated to resist harsh environmental conditions.
A Design First
Acoustic design is quite unique. The MX Series
are a sealed cabinet that allows for a very high IP
rating. Despite being a sealed system, the bass
response of a ported enclosure is developed using
a custom designed LF driver, and proprietary
resonance circuit. The benefit of this unique
approach is very Hi-Fidelity audio performance
from an IP rated system.
The woofer design has been engineered in such
a way as to reduce the overall cabinet size
requirement versus typical drivers of its size.
The end result is realistic bass response indoors
or in free-space applications. The rare earth
magnet titanium dome tweeters yield a natural
high-frequency response and produce smooth
vocal intelligibility.
For installations where highest fidelity
performance is required, the 16Ω low impedance
transformer setting allows for up to four boxes to
be connected to one amplifier channel (4Ω) load.
Distributed 70/100 volt installation have a wide
choice of transformer output settings available.
Another benefit found on the MX Series is the
Quest UB1 installation bracket system. This
revolutionary design is both practical and
elegant. It offers the most flexibility to the installer
without compromising on appearance from an
architectural perspective.
