AUDAC ATEO6M/B – 6" IP66 Outdoor Speaker, 8 Ω/70V/100V, Black (Pair)

What is the AUDAC ATEO6M/B speaker?

The AUDAC ATEO6M/B is an IP66-rated indoor/outdoor surface-mount loudspeaker with a 6" woofer and 1" dome tweeter, finished in black. It is an 8 Ω speaker with a built-in multi-tap 70V/100V line transformer, so it works on distributed paging and background-music lines or direct from a low-impedance amplifier. AUDAC's CleverMount+ bracket hides the wiring behind the speaker and lets one installer hang and aim it quickly, which makes it a strong fit for patios, retail, restaurants, hotel terraces and campus spaces.

How does the AUDAC ATEO6M/B work?

The AUDAC ATEO6M/B is a 2-way passive design: the 6" mid/low driver and 1" dome tweeter are split by a built-in crossover, giving a flat response of 65 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) and a wide 120° x 120° dispersion for even background music and clear paging. Sensitivity is 89 dB (1W/1m) and maximum SPL is 106 dB @ 8 Ω / 105 dB @ 100V.

The cabinet is ABS with an aluminium grille and hydrophobic cloth behind it, rated IP66, UV resistant and tested for 720 hours of salt spray, so it holds up in coastal and poolside installs. Wiring lands on WAGO terminal connectors in the weatherproof CleverMount+ wall plate. The speaker then clicks onto the plate and is aimed from the front: up to 30° left, right and down, and 5° up. The power tap is selected on an external switch on the rear, so it can be changed without taking the speaker down. The ATEO6DM is the same speaker with 16 Ω low-impedance wiring.

For different mounting needs, AUDAC offers AUDAC WMA60M incline extension mounts and AUDAC CMA162M cluster sets. Compare the ATEO range:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AUDAC ATEO6M/B be installed outdoors?

Yes. It is rated IP66, UV resistant and salt-spray tested. Mount it so the grille faces out or down rather than up, as with any outdoor speaker.

Does the AUDAC ATEO6M/B work on a 70V or 100V system?

Yes. Its built-in transformer offers 70V: 50 / 25 / 12.5 / 6.25 W; 100V: 50 / 25 / 12.5 W. It can also run at 8 Ω from a low-impedance amplifier.

What amplifier should I use?

Any commercial amplifier matched to the line voltage or impedance works. AUDAC pairs ATEO speakers with its MFA, COM and SMQ amplifiers.

Can the AUDAC ATEO6M/B be mounted on a ceiling or light track?

Yes. CleverMount+ works on walls and ceilings; AUDAC also offers incline extension mounts and cluster sets for multi-speaker arrays.

Should I add a subwoofer?

For background music, no. For bars, clubs and events, AUDAC pairs ATEO with its ARCHI and BASO subwoofers for fuller low end.

Is it compatible with other brands of equipment?

Yes. It is a standard passive speaker, so any properly matched amplifier will drive it. See the full AUDAC lineup for amplifiers, wall controls and accessories.
