Coaxial driver and sealed design
The DALI Gardian OW 6 outdoor speaker uses a coaxial configuration. The 1″ dome tweeter is placed in the center of the polypropylene cone of the 5″ midbass driver, allowing high and low frequencies to reach your ears at the same time. This architecture not only improves the phasing, but also the uniformity of the sound in the diffusion area, whatever the listening angle.
In addition, the DALI Gardian OW 6 outdoor speaker incorporates two oval-shaped passive radiators. These act as coil-less woofers, reacting to pressure variations in the cabinet. This design enhances the impact of the bass and optimizes the performance of the drivers in the contained format, while limiting sound distortion.
This system supports an amplifier power rating of 50 to 200 watts. The DALI Gardian OW 6 outdoor speakers cover a frequency range of 47 to 25,000 Hz and feature the Danish brand’s signature easygoing and realistic sound.
DALI Gardian OW 6: robust and flexible
While the DALI Gardian OW 6 outdoor speakers are specifically designed to play music outdoors, they manage to combine robustness and elegance. In fact, they retain a refined design with rounded edges and an aluminum grille that prevents damage.
Naturally, DALI Gardian OW 6 speakers can be left outside all year round. That’s why they are IP67-certified. This classification guarantees high resistance to the elements. They are rain, sand and dust proof, so they can be installed on a seaside terrace or near a swimming pool.
DALI Gardian OW 6 outdoor speakers are also capable of precisely targeting a listening area. Firstly, thanks to their coaxial driver, mentioned above, but also to their wall bracket, which can be tilted and rotated through 100°. This flexibility means they can be adapted to any configuration, and mounted on ceilings, columns or even sloping walls.
Versatile, reliable and high-performance, DALI outdoor speakers mark the manufacturer’s determination to take high-fidelity listening outside the home. Following on from the success of their DALI Katch G2 Bluetooth speakers and DALI IO-12 wireless headphones, the Danish brand continues to expand in line with its core values of quality and elegance.
