Energy Speaker Tempest II

Energy Speaker Systems showed off the new Tempest II outdoor speakers. The Energy Tempest II is a 2-way outdoorindoor speaker, designed to handle the rigors of any climate.

Energy's Tempest II is constructed out of a durable and resonant free molded enclosure, designed to stand up to the elements. The shape of the enclosure is tied to the performance of the speaker, but also allows the cabinet to be positioned in a way that is unobtrusive. The 6-1/2" woofer, in its sealed cabinet, is capable of reaching 75Hz, not bad for an outdoor speaker of its size. The 1" dome tweeter offers an extremely broad dispersion pattern, making speaker placement less critical. Designed to avoid a single sweet spot, the Tempest II can be used to fill a room with audio both indoors or out.

The Tempest II includes an integrated mounting bracket and removable grille. The mounting bracket offers ease and flexibility in terms of mounting options and almost infinite adjustment possibilities. The Tempest II is available in a choice of Black or White finishes, to match the exterior or interior of any listening area.

The MSRP of the Tempest II is $300 US ($400 Canada)
