OWI Introduces Surface Mount Self-Amplified Speaker System for $199 MSRP

Low price makes high-quality audio affordable at schools, hotels, and meeting rooms

OWI, a leader in audio speakers, has expanded its popular self-amplified speaker line with the introduction of an amplified surface mount speaker package. The package is a 30-watt, self-amplified, 2-speakers system that retails for just $199.

The low price makes high-quality audio affordable at schools, hotels, churches, businesses, and organizations — wherever equipment such as laptops, projectors, microphones, stereos, or paging systems require audio support.

With an active, self-amplified, two-way surface-mount speaker (6.5� woofer, .79� tweeter) and a matching, passive 4-ohm speaker, the dual speakers put out a generous 30W of sound together. The self-amplified speaker drives the other speaker, eliminating the need for an external amplifier.

By combining the amplifier with the speaker, maximum damping control of the speaker is achieved due to low source impedance. The result is optimum high fidelity reproduction and response without requiring a bulky external amplifier.

The self-amplified surface mount speakers feature an aluminum grill, a high-impact polystyrene housing, and a mounting bracket.

The CE approved speaker system is short circuit protected and comes with a 1-year warranty. The amplified speaker weighs 12 lbs, and the non-amplified speaker 10 lbs. The speakers are available in white and will be available in black in mid-2010.

The Surface Mount Self-Amplified Speaker System is available through OWI and authorized dealers nationwide.

OWI has a 30-year history of bringing innovative products to the audio market. The company offers a full line of high-end speaker products, including indoor/outdoor speakers, amplified ceiling, in-wall and trumpet speakers, pendant speakers and weatherized speakers. OWI weatherproof speakers and its L.A. Rocker line of rock-shaped speakers are used worldwide at major theme parks, hotels, casinos, golf courses and retail centers.
