Theory Audio Design has added a line of landscape loudspeakers in the form of the ic6-Bollard, a 6.5” full-range landscape loudspeaker and the iws12-Bollard, a 12” landscape subwoofer.

Building on Theory’s ic6 Acoustic Core platform, the new ic6-Bollard is the ic6 loudspeaker installed into an elegant dark chocolate (and paintable) stainless steel Bollard housing. Once integrated, the ic6-Bollard becomes a full-range landscape loudspeaker providing 360-degrees of flawless, uniform, coverage. Pair it with the new iws12-Bollard subwoofer and you can reach sound reinforcement levels in your landscape.

For large, distributed installs, you can use hundreds of ic6-Bollard loudspeakers. The ic6 includes a switch-selectable 70V/100v transformer that can be driven direct by Theory’s DLC-250.4d 4-channel loudspeaker controller. The DLC-250.4d can drive up to 16 Theory 16-ohm loudspeakers in Lo-Z mode, or up to 64 in Hi-Z mode – all from a half rack chassis.

The Theory iws12-SPKR speaker assembly includes a 12-inch, 1,400 Watt, 4-inch voice coil long throw woofer that can be integrated into the Theory iws12-6 in-wall subwoofer and the Theory iws12-9 architectural subwoofer. With the introduction of the iws12-Bollard, now iws12-SPKR performance can be enjoyed outdoors. When mounted inside the new iws12-Bollard housing and installed outdoors you get truly astonishing high-energy low frequencies in your landscape.

The Theory ic6-Bollard and iws12-Bollard will be available in late Q4 2024.
