The breakthrough DML500 loudspeaker and it’s non-destructive boundary interaction have revolutionized hundreds of indoor spaces and now those same benefits can be had in our new all-weather version.

The DML500W has the same features as the DML500, including the thin form factor, easy mounting, and jaw-dropping sonic performance and it can be safely integrated into outdoor and into moisture-rich environments.

Making the DML500 weather-resistant for exterior installations was simple and straightforward because the DML500 is highly weather resistant by design. It’s main components—such as the carbon fiber diaphragm, and metal casing—are suitable for wet conditions.

The DML500W is a passive, non-powered loudspeaker. While it’s not intended to be submerged, water is less of an issue than with competitive loudspeakers, as there are no active electronics to be damaged. And with our water resistant grille cloth, we have even an added layer of protection. As a result, we are offering a generous 4 year warranty.

What makes the DML500W weather-resistant

Weather and UV resistant powder coating on the exterior surfaces
Water-resistent (yet sonically transparent) grille cloth in the front and rear grilles
Assembled with stainless steel exterior hardware
Neutrik protective cover for unused SpeakON jack
Other enhancements to help the DML500W withstand tough operating conditions
