Robust and Reliable Speaker January 24, 2009
Jon (California)

Before you purchase this speaker, you need to realize it's intended application. Unless you've seen this speaker in action, and prefer the sound, you'll probably be able to get "better sounding" consumer speakers for the same price. However, you won't find one that's as robust as this. These are used in many theme parks and commercial applications throughout the world.
The cabinet uses a durable plastic enclosure that feels very sturdy. In its original state, it's pretty weather resistant, but there are options to make it withstand harsher elements, such as the optional WeatherMax grille. It also uses spring loaded terminals, but not the same type used in cheap speakers. In terms of sound, these can go pretty loud. They're protected by small bulbs that help absorb short bursts of sound that can damage the drivers. Bass is pretty decent for a speaker of this size, but you're better off buying the Control 29AV-1 if you prefer deeper bass. In all, these are great, durable, and reliable speakers. If you like a durable speaker with good sound, and have heard these before, go ahead and try them out. If you're an audiophile who's looking for the best sound at this price, look elsewhere.
