Bogen LB5TB 5-1/4" 2-Way Weatherproof Loudspeaker with Built-in 70V Transformer, Black

The NEAR LB5TB speaker is elegantly designed, rugged to the extreme and a snap to install. The LB5 employs a NEAR exclusive "lever bracket" mount combined with a perfect-fit, totally waterproof input connector. This mounting system minimizes installation effort and reduces "ladder time" to improve installation safety. The LB5 utilizes MDT/MLS woofers with 1" titanium inverted dome tweeters for timbre consistency across the range to allow for complete system design flexibility. The LB5 enclosure is color-through, micaloaded polypropylene with color-matched aluminum grille. Water-shedding and dust-protecting hydrophobic fabric prevents ingress of fine debris. The LB Series speakers quickly and easily slide into slots in the clamp module, with knobs and bracket preattached to the speaker. The knobs are also oversized for easier grip and better control during installation. The speaker assembly comes with a pre-terminated waterproof plug-in connector that makes installation a breeze.
