Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Weatherproof 8-inch two-way install speaker with 70V/100V taps. For fixed background and foreground audio in patios, retail, and covered outdoor areas.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restaurant patios and covered outdoor seating on a 70V line
- Retail or gym zones needing full-range sound, not just paging
- Multi-speaker distributed systems where wattage is set per unit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Live bands or DJs — this is an install box, not portable PA
- Critical studio listening; voicing is built for coverage, not flat monitoring
- Fully exposed installs with direct rain or standing water
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Through position, 8 ohms
Bypasses the transformer so you can run it as a normal low-impedance speaker off a standard amp.
Detail 03
IP-X4 splashproof
Handles splashing water and weather from any angle. Rated for humidity, salt spray, and UV — not for submersion or direct downpour.
Detail 04
43Hz–15kHz response
Real low end for an install speaker. Music has body without a subwoofer, though the top octave rolls off early.
Detail 05
110H x 85V rotatable coverage
Wide horizontal pattern covers a room from fewer points. Rotate the horn 90 degrees for tall narrow spaces.
Detail 06
26.8 lb each
Heavy for a wall box. The mount and the wall structure behind it both need to carry real load.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a single speaker at this price — budget per unit, not per pair
- 02InvisiBall mounting base included; a 70V amplifier is not
- 03Set the tap before final mounting — the panel is behind the input cover
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run this off a regular stereo amp?
Yes. Set the transformer to the through position for 8 ohms nominal, then wire it like any passive speaker.
02Does it come with a mounting bracket?
Yes, the InvisiBall mounting base and a hex wrench are included, along with an input panel cover.
03Is this sold in pairs?
No, single speaker. Order the quantity your zone layout needs.
04Can it go in full sun and rain?
It exceeds Mil-Spec 810 for UV, humidity, and salt spray and is IP-X4 splashproof. Mount under an overhang rather than in direct rainfall.
