SoundTube Entertainment has released the XT850-LED, a two-way outdoor loudspeaker system featuring integrated LED landscape lighting, creating a harmonious blend of high-quality sound and aesthetic lighting suitable for outdoor environments.

The XT850-LED 8”, two-way speaker distinguishes itself from standard speaker systems with its UV, scratch, chlorine and weather-resistant features and provides full-range background and foreground music capabilities as well as paging functionalities. Its sealed, in-ground enclosure design delivers an impressive low-end response and optimal off-axis performance.

“The XT850-LED speaker system represents a significant step in SoundTube’s commitment to delivering durable and flexible audio solutions,” MSE Audio president Shannon Humphrey says.

“With its exceptional sound quality and integrated LED lighting, the XT850-LED offers a convenient upgrade to many outdoor commercial projects.”

The speaker system also comes equipped with theft-resistant mounting hardware and a weatherproof five-position tap switch for 25/70.7/100V applications, with a transformer bypass position. An IP55 rating further underscores its resilience in outdoor settings.

The innovative integration of omnidirectional LED strips into the speaker’s enclosure creates warm pathway lighting, enhancing the ambience of outdoor installations. With a 3000K warm-white colour temperature, the LEDs are compatible with third-party dimmer switches.

Additionally, the XT850-LED can be conveniently powered by a conventional 12V landscape lighting transformer and multiple XT850-LED units can be run off a single transformer depending on its power capacity.
