ELAC has introduced a new addition to its Muro Pro series, the OD-M61 on-wall speaker, designed specifically for outdoor environments. What sets this speaker apart is its IP66-rated enclosure, offering protection against moisture and dust, making it an excellent choice for a patio, garden, or poolside setup. Moving away from outdated designs like rock-shaped garden speakers, the OD-M61 presents a modern aesthetic and practical versatility without compromising sound quality.
The OD-M61 operates within a frequency range of 80 Hz to 20,000 Hz, with an impedance of 8 ohms and sensitivity rated at 86 dB. ELAC recommends pairing the speaker with an amplifier offering between 30 and 100 watts of power for optimal performance. The two-way design incorporates a 25-mm silk dome tweeter and a robust 6.5-inch woofer made from a polypropylene cone reinforced with aramid fibers. These choices ensure durability and deliver clarity across a wide spectrum, suited for both music and audio playback in open-air spaces.
Measuring 200 x 310 x 235 mm and weighing 3.5 kg, the OD-M61’s compact profile is complemented by a versatile mounting bracket that supports vertical, horizontal, or corner placement. Thanks to IP66 weatherproofing, users can rely on consistent performance in unpredictable outdoor conditions. The default sealed cabinet design can be switched to a ported configuration for enhanced bass, providing flexibility based on user preferences or environmental factors.
This speaker’s thoughtful design extends beyond aesthetics, as the enclosure includes a durable plastic cover that shields its internal wiring, ensuring long-term reliability. With connectors using 5-way binding posts and a visually adaptable logo for various orientations, installation is simple without sacrificing elegance.
Priced at $599 per pair, the ELAC OD-M61 offers solid sound performance combined with weather-resistant engineering, proving itself a compelling option for those seeking audio solutions that blend functionality and style in an outdoor setting.
