Origin Acoustics launches the Seasons Bollard loudspeaker at CEDIA Expo-- a means to tackle the challenge of producing bass response from individual outdoor speakers in an attractive aesthetic.
While large subwoofers are often buried in the ground, the requirement to have the sub somewhat close to the mid/high frequency satellites can cause some design challenges. To solve the issue, each Bollard has an own 6.5-inch sub in the base of the enclosure. Burying the small sub base in the ground hides the larger portion of the enclosure from sight. The upper structure is a round enclosure design housing a 4-inch mid/high frequency transducer 45cm above the ground.
