Crest Audio has launched its ClimateGuard series speakers, featuring an IP56 rating for use in harsh, outdoor environments.
The ClimateGuard features retains dimensional stability in wet conditions, featuring a Black Hammerhead polyurea finish to add an extra layer of protection to seal the waterproof composite cabinet panels.
The front features a stainless-steel, moisture-repellent grille, equipped with a hydrophobic water-repellent cloth to ensure dual-layer performance without compromising speaker quality.
A gland nut entry is available on the back for a water-sealed input cup plate to ensure no leakage where the speaker cable enters.
All components are mounted with a layer of plastic coating to insulate against moisture, with optional 70/100V transformer connections to employ waterproof connectors.
A fibreglass-resin sheet skin is featured on both sides with a foamed resin core, safeguarding against rot or degradation caused by time or exposure to the elements. The woofers also include a water-repellent dust cap that can endure prolonged, direct exposure to water.
The speakers are available in four two-way, full-range configurations along with a flyable subwoofer. The CG 108 model combines a 75 degrees x 75 degrees horn with an eight-in weatherproof woofer, whilst the CG 208 two-way speker system includes two eight-in water-resistant woofers and a 1.4-in titanium diaphragm compression driver mounted on a waveguide.
The CG 112 model features a 12-in Black Widow woofer, while the CG 115 is equipped with a 15-in Black Widow woofer, with both models complemented by an RX 22 Neo 2 titanium diaphragm compressive driver and a rotatable Quadtratic-Throat Waveguide horn.
