About The Theory Audio Design iws12 Bollard Landscape Subwoofer

The Theory Audio Design iws12 Bollard Landscape Subwoofer is a bundle that includes the iws12 Bollard Housing and a high output iws12 Bass Driver.

The theory is that you have a nice Theory Audio Design system set up indoors but you have an inkling something is missing and then one day when you’re out in the garden you figure out what it is. You need outdoor speakers. Now, you already have some groovy Theory ic6 pendant hanging speakers in your cathedral ceiling living room and you really like the sound so, is there a way to have that sort of sound quality in the garden, Well of course there is.

Enter the Theory Audio Design ic6 Bollard Landscape Speaker. This bundle includes a bollard housing with an ic6 speaker installed. All you need to do is get it professionally installed in your garden with proper burial cables going back to a Theory amplifier located inside and bingo, you have one Theory bollard speaker set up in the great outdoors. Of course you’ll probably want more than one, more like two or four or six depending on the size of your estate. Oh, and don’t forget you will definitely need a subwoofer to match, as bass has a strange way of disappearing when it’s played outdoors. Never fear, for the product we are covering here, the Theory Audio Design iws12 Bollard Landscape Subwoofer is the perfect sub for the job and will give your Theory system the full range sound and deep bass required for a truly satisfying listening experience.

The Theory of Everything

Theory is genuinely unique - their products have completely changed the level of performance attainable from small to medium size installed sound systems. Part of the way they attain this level of performance is by employing proprietary DSP techniques to process the signal for their loudspeakers and subwoof­ers with a very high degree of precision.

As such, the Theory ecosystem of products is a little different than what you're used to as all The­ory loudspeaker models require the application of Theory High Resolution Digital Loudspeaker Processing. For this reason, it is best to think of Theory loudspeakers as "active" or "powered" speakers - Theory have just elected to place the electronics, normally installed inside the loudspeaker itself, in rack-mountable chasses, outside the harsh environment of the loudspeaker, and where wiring and service of the electronics can be accomplished painlessly.

So, when configuring system designs, always pair your chosen Theory loudspeakers with appropriate Theory Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers. These highly powerful and flexible units will make deploying Theory systems simple and painless and will guaranty the best performance available for your application.
