SoundTube OctoRock

Yes, the OctoRock-G/T features a weathered gneiss finish designed specifically to blend into natural landscapes. While it is clearly a speaker upon close inspection, its texture and color are intended to disappear into garden beds or patio environments.

The speaker has a 4-ohm impedance, which is compatible with most standard home audio amplifiers. However, if you are planning to use this in a large commercial installation or a system with long wire runs, you will need to pair it with an optional transformer to support 70V audio distribution.

The unit is built with weather-resistant construction designed to withstand the elements, including rain and irrigation. It is fully suitable for permanent outdoor placement, though it should not be submerged in water.

The speaker weighs 35 pounds. While its substantial weight helps keep it stable on the ground, it is generally recommended to place it on a flat, stable surface where it won't be easily knocked over or shifted by heavy landscaping activity.

Because it uses a two-way design with an 8-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch tweeter, it produces a full-range sound with a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz. This allows for clear highs and decent bass performance, making it well-suited for background music in open-air spaces.
