A 12-inch low-frequency loudspeaker driver, manufactured by Faital, features a specialized cone designed to withstand exposure to the elements. This type of driver is often selected for outdoor sound systems, marine applications, and other environments where standard loudspeaker cones might deteriorate due to moisture, temperature fluctuations, or UV radiation. A weatherized transducer ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in challenging conditions.
The ability to operate reliably in harsh environments distinguishes these specialized drivers. Traditional loudspeaker cones, often made of paper or similar materials, can degrade rapidly when exposed to moisture, leading to reduced performance and eventual failure. The weather-resistant cone addresses this vulnerability, extending the lifespan and maintaining the sonic qualities of the loudspeaker. This durability is essential for applications such as open-air concerts, public address systems in stadiums, and installations on boats or near swimming pools.
