Full-Frequency Outdoor Speaker for Harsh Marine Environments
Marine 8, the larger of the waterproof, rugged Marine speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, delivers pristine sound – whether on the high seas or in any other challenging environment. And if it gets dirty, just hose it clean!
The Marine 8 is a two-way outdoor loudspeaker designed for harsh marine environments. It features a 1" tweeter and an 8" polypropylene bass/midrange driver. The Marine 8 boasts an IP66 rating for incredible ruggedness when installed. Although it is the larger of the Marine loudspeakers it fits into a shallow depth of 3.7" with a cut-out of 9.8."
The marine environment is unforgiving. Any equipment has to survive extremes of temperature, salt spray, and hosing down. It’s little wonder then that most speakers designed for marine applications sacrifice sound quality for ruggedness.
Exceptional Sound, Tough Design and Materials
Of course, any Bowers & Wilkins speaker must sound brilliant. So these marine speakers were first designed to match exacting sound quality standards, then with the necessary toughness to survive the harsh marine environment was added.
The Marine 8 boasts an IP66 rating when properly installed, and the metal grille and all screws are marine-grade stainless steel. The driver chassis uses a non-corroding rigid polymer and the tweeter dome has a rear support to prevent permanent deformation when hosed down.
Marine 8 is super-tough to deal with the most demanding installation environments, with Bowers & Wilkins superior, uncompromising audio quality.
