About this product

The Control 85M Mushroom-Style Landscape Speaker is a two-way highly weather resistant speaker providing 360 degree coverage of the listening space.  A highlighted mid-range presence cuts through in high ambient environments for especially clear paging and voice content while providing excellent full-range sound quality. Designed to be mounted on or in the ground, the Control 85M can be used in a wide variety of applications including landscaping of homes, pool areas, hospitality and leisure venues, entranceways, and anywhere a high quality music and/ or paging speaker landscape speaker is required. Its compact size allows the speaker to blend into landscaping and shrubbery, while its tough hunter green polyethylene enclosure resists abuse from lawn care equipment and the elements. The enclosure color extends throughout the material so the speaker will maintain color even when scraped or scratched.
