Russound adds Acclaim 5 Series OutBack outdoor speakers to its Acclaim speaker series (31/7/2010) CEDIA US Expo 2010 New 5 Series OutBack Speakers Build On Celebrated Acclaim Lineup, Provide Superior Acoustic Performance Even In Extreme Environments Russound, the #1 brand in multiroom audio, has extended its renowned Acclaim speaker series by introducing the Acclaim 5 Series OutBack outdoor speakers. The new Acclaim speakers provide outstanding installation flexibility, superior sonics and durable, weatherproof performance even in extreme outdoor environments. “We made a quality and value statement with our Acclaim series, and both the industry and the market responded with enthusiasm,” says Erik Wiederholtz, Product Manager, Russound. “With the new 5 Series OutBack models, the same winning combination of performance, reliability and flexibility that marks our architectural Acclaim models can be easily extended to outdoor installations or bookshelf applications.” “End-users often experience an obvious sonic ‘drop-off’ effect when they walk out of their homes into their yards, which after all, are just another zone of the house,” explained Wiederholtz. “With the Acclaim 5 Series, the music moves seamlessly from the interior to the outdoor environment. It’s as pleasurable to listen to on the patio as it is in the den." Russound's new Acclaim 5 Series OutBack speakers are equipped with design and construction features that ensure durability in any outdoor conditions. Sealed enclosures and salt-tested, marine grade hardware ensures weather resistant performance year in and out. Polypropylene driver cones with rubber surrounds and 1-inch TeteronTM dome tweeters deliver superior full-range audio through a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. All four models feature a 1-inch tweeter made of Teteron, an advanced synthetic material that is moisture-proof, offers exceptionally wide dispersion characteristics, and eliminates sonic artifacts commonly associated with metal and silk dome tweeters. Multiple mounting options allow for versatile installation possibilities in almost any outdoor environment, whether on a wall, an eave, a pole, a corner or set up as a free standing stereo pair. The Acclaim 5 Series OutBack Speakers are available in four models, encompassing three stereo pairs in popular sizes and a single-point stereo model. The 4-inch 5B45 model adds a 4-inch polypropylene woofer and achieves 88 dB sensitivity with 10-100 watts of amplification. The mid-sized 5B55 sports the same woofer in a 5-inch configuration, with 90 dB sensitivity and power handling up to 125 watts. The largest of the stereo pairs is the 5B65, which provides a woofer size of 6 inches, sensitivity of 91 dB and power handling up of to 150 watts RMS. For installations where a single-point stereo speaker is called for, the 5B65S (pictured left) offers the same 6-inch woofer as the 5B65, flanked by a pair of angled Teteron dome tweeters on each side. This powerful all-in-one speaker delivers an exceptionally deep and extended music listening experience, with a broad 62 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, +/- 3dB. All the Acclaim 5 Series OutBack models are available in both white and black, and come with aluminum grilles and brackets for weatherproof durability and cosmetics. The brackets allow for the traditional vertical or horizontal mounting options, as well as mounting in a corner or on a pole. A machined channel in the brackets allows speakers to be suspended by mounting screws for easy installation in hard to access locations. The Stereo pair models include a foot that installs in place of the bracket, allowing the speaker to sit upright on a bookshelf as a stereo pair for listening. The Russound Acclaim 5 Series Outback speakers are shipping as of this month at the following Minimum Advertised Prices. • 5B45 - $199.99/pair
