New From Niles: Outdoor Planter Speaker

PS6si adds beauty and music to any porch, patio or poolside

May 31, 2006

Niles Audio Corporation, The First Name in Custom Installation®, announces the official release of its new PS6si Outdoor Planter Speaker. The PS6si Outdoor Planter Speaker is a powerful, all-weather speaker that also holds live plants and flowers, making it a perfect fit for audiophiles who like to entertain outdoors. With an authentic, stylish design that will fool your eyes, the PS6si blends nicely with pools, patios, porches, decks and gardens, while cranking out serious sound thanks to a proprietary, 6.5” dual voice coil woofer and two 1” fluid-cooled Tetron tweeters. With the tweeters mounted at opposing angles, a single PS6si can project a stereo soundstage of amazing depth and clarity from a single speaker. “When it comes to the great outdoors, our customers want a high-quality speaker with a naturalistic design,” said Mike “Sparky” Detmer, vice-president of sales and marketing for Niles. “The PS6si was designed to withstand any kind of weather. Its design is so concise that it surpasses the military standards for corrosion, temperature, UV and water resistance.” Designed to handle the harshest of environments, the PS6si is made of fiberglass and is protected by a UV-resistant paint. Its 10-gallon capacity and three drainage holes ensure plants will stay healthy, while screens allow for acoustic transparency and keep bugs and debris at bay. This discrete loudspeaker is wired for one-speaker stereo input or two-speaker stereo mode. A trouble-free connection is insured by dual 3” burial-rated connection cables with waterproof wire-nuts. Niles offers a two-year limited warranty, and the PS6si is priced at an MSRP of $399.
