Adastra OD6-W8 Water Resistant 6.5" Ceiling Speakers

The Adastra OD6-W8 is a pair of water resistant speakers built for panel mounting where damp or wet conditions rule out standard models. With an IP35 rating, they suit PA installations in swimming pools, bathrooms and marine settings, handling humidity up to 95% and a temperature range from -20 to 85°C. Each speaker uses a plastic enclosure and comes supplied in pairs, so you have a matched set ready to fit either side of a room or run along a poolside.

Each unit is a 2-way design pairing a 16.5cm (6.5 inch) woofer with a polypropylene cone and a 5cm (2 inch) tweeter with a mylar cone. A built-in crossover splits the signal between the two drivers, and the speakers rate at 100W maximum with an 8 ohm impedance. The dispersion angle of 140 degrees spreads sound across a wide area, which helps keep coverage even in open spaces like pool halls and larger bathrooms.

Wiring is handled through 6mm spade terminal connections, and every speaker ships with a fixing kit and gasket so you can mount and seal them without sourcing extra parts. The plastic build and IP35 protection mean they cope with splashes and moisture that would damage indoor speakers. If you are specifying audio for a wet or humid environment, or replacing units that have failed in one, the OD6-W8 gives you a straightforward, sealed option in matt white to blend with most panels and ceilings.

Product Manual

Are these speakers sold individually or in pairs?

The OD6-W8 is supplied in pairs, so you receive two matched speakers in one purchase.

What does the IP35 rating mean for wet areas?

IP35 gives protection against solid objects and against water spray from any direction, which is why they suit swimming pools, bathrooms and marine use. They are water resistant rather than fully submersible.

How do I connect the speakers?

They use 6mm spade terminal connections for wiring. A fixing kit and gasket are included so you can mount and seal each speaker.

What size cut-out do I need?

The speakers use a 16.5cm (6.5 inch) woofer and are designed for panel mounting. Check the supplied fixing kit and template against your panel before cutting.

What power and impedance do they run at?

Each speaker handles 100W maximum at 8 ohms, with a built-in crossover managing the split between the woofer and tweeter.

Can they be used outdoors?

They are rated for humidity up to 95% and temperatures from -20 to 85°C, and the IP35 rating handles spray. They are suited to sheltered outdoor and marine settings rather than fully exposed positions.
