Overview

The Ecler IG108 is a specialized in-ground loudspeaker designed for outdoor sound applications, offering a robust and high-quality audio solution for various environments. Its primary function is to provide omni-directional sound dispersion, making it suitable for music and message broadcasting in open-air settings where a reliable and high-fidelity sound system is required.

Function Description:

The IG108 is an in-ground weatherproof loudspeaker, certified with an IP65 rating, indicating its resistance to dust and water ingress, making it ideal for permanent outdoor installations. It features an omni-directional horizontal dispersion pattern of 360°, ensuring uniform sound coverage across a wide area. This design allows a single unit to effectively cover a circular area with an average radius of 4 to 6 meters in standard applications. The loudspeaker is equipped with an 8" Kevlar woofer for robust low-frequency reproduction and a 1" ACCW silk dome tweeter for clear high-frequency output, ensuring a balanced and articulate sound profile. It supports both low-impedance (8 ohm) and high-impedance (70V/100V) installations, offering flexibility for different amplifier setups and larger distributed audio systems. The integrated tap switch allows for selectable power settings (7.5W, 15W, 30W, 60W) in 70V/100V modes, enabling precise control over output levels and system design.

Usage Features:

The IG108 is designed for discreet installation, blending seamlessly into outdoor landscapes due to its in-ground placement and green finish. Its omni-directional coverage minimizes the number of loudspeakers required to cover a given area, simplifying system design and installation. The selectable power taps allow installers to fine-tune the output level of each speaker, optimizing sound distribution and preventing hot spots or dead zones. The robust construction and IP65 rating ensure long-term reliability and performance in challenging outdoor conditions, including exposure to rain, dust, and temperature variations. The inclusion of a security ground bracket enhances the stability and theft deterrence of the installation. The device is intended for permanent installation and should not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, nor should objects filled with liquids be placed on it. Proper installation involves burying the main body of the loudspeaker in the ground, ensuring that the top grille is flush with or slightly above the ground level for optimal sound dispersion and protection. The user manual provides detailed instructions for assembly and installation, including the use of specific screws and components to secure the loudspeaker.

Maintenance Features:

To ensure optimal operation and longevity, Ecler strongly recommends that maintenance of the IG108 be carried out by authorized Technical Services. The product comes with a 3-year warranty, underscoring the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and performance. Regular cleaning with a dry cloth is recommended, and users should avoid blocking any ventilation openings during installation. The device is designed for minimal user intervention once installed, with its robust construction protecting internal components from environmental factors. In case of damage, such as to the power supply cord or if the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture beyond its IP65 rating, servicing by qualified personnel is required. The design emphasizes durability and resistance to typical outdoor wear and tear, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. The user manual also highlights important safety instructions, such as protecting the power cord and using only manufacturer-specified attachments, to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
