Installation is easy. Add one or even two for full, 360 degrees of beautiful sound in your backyard.

What Is an Omni Speaker?
Popular with landscape professionals and audio contractors, omni speakers offer omni-directional, 360° surround sound with no obstructions. If there are multiple people scattered in different areas, the sound is consistent, not mixed. This feature plus the durable nature of the Omni make it a popular speaker for theme parks, hotels, and resorts; however, omnis are also quite common for residential use.

Should I bury my omni speaker to get better sound?
You don't have to bury your Omni speakers but it will enhance sound quality and here's why. The sound comes out of the "mushroom cap" on top of the speaker. When you bury the omni (a few inches above the grille), the sound has a surface to bounce off of--the ground acts like a tuned baffle!

What kind of amplification do I need?
The OS850 is a passive speaker, meaning it will require power from an amplifier or receiver. This speaker has high power handling so you'll want to pair it with an amp that can handle 300W. We suggest our AP200 high current amp to get the best sound performance from your new omni speaker.
