delivers true low end response (62 Hz, - 10

dB) and optimal off axis performance. The

XT550 includes theft-resistant mounting

hardware and a weather-proof 5-position

tap switch for 25/70.7/100 Volt applica-

tions with voice coil direct (4 Ohm) posi-

tion.

Applications

The ultra-wide 360˚ horizontal disper-

sion pattern makes the XT550 an ideal

choice for theme parks, promenades,

playgrounds, shopping malls, restau-

rants, resorts, gardens and other outdoor

applications. XT550 speakers come with

in-ground anti-theft brackets and stain-

less-steel square-tip screws for increased
