According to Vanco, the W65V-BSC and W80V-BSC speakers feature an IP66-rated enclosure, meaning they are completely dust-tight and can withstand heavy outdoor storms or pressure cleaning.
Both are 4/8 ohm and 70V/100V compatible and feature a wide range of power options.
- The W80V-BSC can handle 60W, 30W, 15W and 7.5W at 70V and 60W, 30W and 15W at 100V.
- The W65V-BSC can handle 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.7W at70V and 30W,15W and 7.5W at 100V.
Both speakers also deliver clear, full-range audio performance, with 85Hz-20KHz frequency response. The W65V-BSC features a 6.25-inch polypropylene woofer, while the larger W80V-BSC has an 8-inch woofer. Both speakers include 1-inch silk dome tweeters.
The included curved mounting arm and bracket also allow installers to mount the speakers at unique angles, even on architectural surfaces. The bracket design also facilitates easy service access.
Vanco also offers a range of indoor and outdoor subwoofers—including down-firing landscape subwoofers, 6.5- and 8-inch in-room subwoofers, and 6.5- and 8-inch architectural subwoofers—to complement the W65V-BSC and W80V-BSC.
