Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Marine 6 Outdoor Speaker is now available on Ooberpad. B&W Marine 6 is a two-way loudspeaker with a 25mm (1in) tweeter and a 150mm (6in) polypropylene bass/midrange driver. It is equipped with an IP66 rating for unparalleled ruggedness when set up, and is the more compact of the Marine loudspeakers, fitting into a depth of 88mm (3.5in) with a cut-out of 200mm (7.8in).

The marine environment is very rigorous and strenuous. Any equipment has to withstand extremes of temperature, salt spray and hosing down. It’s no surprise then that most speakers engineered for marine applications compromise on the sound quality for ruggedness. Of course, any Bowers & Wilkins speaker must sound stellar. So these marine speakers were meticulously designed to match exacting sound quality standards, then the requisite toughness to endure the harsh marine environment was added.

Both models represent IP66 ratings when properly set up and the metal grille and all screws are marine-grade stainless steel. The driver chassis utilizes a non-corroding rigid polymer and the tweeter dome has a rear support to prevent permanent deformation when hosed down. Marine 6 and Marine 8 are extremely difficult to deal with in the most dynamic installation environments, with Bowers & Wilkins superior, unrivalled audio quality.
