New Subwoofer Goes

SpeakerCraft Introduces the BoomTomb

By Gary Reber


SpeakerCraft, America’s original manufacturer of in-wall speakers announced a new outdoor subwoofer to compliment its Outdoor Elements, Ruckus and OG series speakers. It has been appropriately named the BoomTomb because of the fact that the majority of the enclosure is buried underground with only a small, hooded port exposed above the surface.

“Outdoor audio continues to be a huge category for us” commented Dave Donald, SpeakerCraft’s V.P. of Marketing. “Adding critical low end reinforcement to our already broad assortment of exterior loudspeakers is a natural progression and a benefit to dealers who are always looking for ways to improve sound quality outdoors.”

The BoomTomb consists of a poly/resin enclosure that houses a ten-inch long throw woofer mounted in a support that is in the center of the internal space. Sound is then vented through a port that extends through the top of the enclosure. The port is the only visible part of the speaker once it is installed. A hood covers the top of the port to protect the internal workings

from water and debris. The woofer is powered by a dedicated 250 watt amplifier that is designed to be placed with the
source equipment and attached via standard speaker cable.

The BoomTomb will ship in the fourth quarter. Pricing is still to be determined.
