High-performance dual-tweeter outdoor planter loudspeaker • functional top planting basin with integrated drainage • dual voice coil 6.5" TCC™ (talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled) woofer • dual 1" Teteron® dome tweeters with stereo-imaging angle • single-speaker stereo or wide-dispersion mono operation • multi-layer acoustic fiberglass enclosure in weathered concrete finish • all-weather UV & temperature resistant
The Niles PS6SI Stereo-Input Planter Speaker in Concrete Finish merges high-fidelity outdoor audio with functional landscaping decor, functioning as both a full-range outdoor loudspeaker and an authentic, plantable garden vessel. Engineered with Niles' proprietary Stereo-Input (Si) architecture, this versatile outdoor speaker features a dual-voice-coil 6.5-inch TCC (talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled) polypropylene woofer and twin 1-inch fluid-cooled Teteron dome tweeters angled at 20 degrees, reproducing complete stereo sound from a single enclosure. Encased in a rugged, four-layer fiberglass composite shell finished in realistic weathered concrete with an internal drainage conduit, it delivers rich bass and crystalline high frequencies while withstanding torrential rains, extreme freezing cycles, and blazing sun.
Key Features & Innovations
Dual-Voice-Coil Stereo-Input (Si) Architecture — the Niles PS6SI Stereo-Input Planter Speaker in Concrete Finish features a dual-channel input crossover network, allowing a single planter to output both left and right stereo channels seamlessly or bridge into a high-output wide-dispersion mono speaker.
Functional Top Planting Basin with Drainage Conduit — accommodates live plants, flowers, or greenery with up to 1 cubic foot of soil, incorporating an internal drainage pipe that channels excess water safely through the center to the bottom without reaching internal electronics.
6.5-Inch Injection-Molded TCC™ Woofer — incorporates an ultra-stiff, damped talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled polypropylene cone with a long-excursion butyl rubber surround, delivering tight, punchy low-frequency performance down to 60 Hz in open outdoor spaces.
Twin Angled 1-Inch Teteron® Tweeters — two fluid-cooled 1-inch synthetic fabric dome tweeters are aimed outward to generate broad, even acoustic dispersion, eliminating outdoor sweet spots and blanketing patios or pool decks with airy, fatigue-free highs.
Ultra-Durable Weathered Concrete Enclosure — molded from four distinct layers of acoustic resin, fiberglass, and UV-stable mineral composites to replicate the look and weight of poured concrete, meeting military-spec 810F standards for extreme outdoor temperature and moisture resistance.
FAQ — Niles PS6SI Planter Speaker
Can I plant live foliage directly in the Niles PS6SI Stereo-Input Planter Speaker in Concrete Finish?
Yes. The Niles PS6SI Stereo-Input Planter Speaker in Concrete Finish includes a deep upper planting reservoir complete with an isolated interior drainage tube, allowing live plants to be watered normally while water drains through the base without contacting the acoustic drivers.
How do I wire this speaker for stereo sound?
The speaker is equipped with a 4-conductor direct-burial pigtail cable; simply connect the left channel positive and negative wires and right channel positive and negative wires to output a complete stereo soundstage from one planter.
Can I use two PS6SI planters together as a traditional left/right pair?
Yes. By wiring the dual voice coils in parallel (or single-channel mode) per the included diagram, you can configure two planters as discrete left and right stereo speakers for expansive outdoor soundstages.
Is the speaker safe to leave outside during winter freezing temperatures?
Yes. The multi-layer fiberglass composite shell is engineered to endure freezing freeze-thaw cycles, snow, heavy rain, and high summer heat without cracking, flaking, or degrading acoustic performance.
