Origin Acoustics Ambisonic Systems ALSB106SK

The Ambisonic Systems ALSB106SK is a premium all-weather hexagonal bollard speaker system designed for permanent outdoor landscape audio installations. Combining a 6.5-inch, 100W polypropylene satellite with full 360-degree sound dispersion and an integrated 10-inch, 200W burial subwoofer, it delivers immersive, room-filling audio in backyards, patios, pool surrounds, and commercial outdoor spaces. The iconic hexagonal aluminum sleeve is available in three finishes — Midnight Black, Stargazing Silver, and Champagne — and is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions year-round. A proprietary HD Aluminum Conical Ribbon tweeter energized by a neodymium motor ensures ultra-high-fidelity reproduction with minimal distortion. Switchable between 8Ohm and 70v-100v operation, the ALSB106SK integrates seamlessly into both residential and commercial audio systems, and is optimized for use with Origin PRO amplifiers.

True 360-Degree Outdoor Dispersion

The ALSB106SK satellite speaker radiates sound uniformly in all directions, not just toward a single listening zone. This is achieved through the hexagonal bollard form factor, which positions the driver array to project sound outward in a full 360-degree pattern. In outdoor environments where listeners move freely — around a pool, across a patio, or through a garden — this eliminates the dead zones and "sweet spot" limitations common to directional landscape speakers. The result is a consistently even sound field that follows the listener rather than demanding they stand in one place. For high-traffic outdoor venues or large residential gardens, this makes coverage planning considerably simpler and the listening experience dramatically more natural.

Integrated Burial Subwoofer for Invisible Bass

The 10-inch, 200W polypropylene burial subwoofer is installed fully underground, hidden from view while delivering the low-frequency punch that open-air outdoor spaces demand. Moving bass reproduction below ground solves a fundamental challenge in outdoor audio: achieving meaningful low-end without large, visible above-ground enclosures that disrupt garden or pool aesthetics. The burial subwoofer complements the satellite's higher frequencies seamlessly, producing a full, cohesive soundstage that extends from detailed ribbon-tweeter highs down through tight, impactful bass — even at the listening distances typical of large outdoor installations. Patios, pool decks, and terraces come alive with a balanced sound that would be impossible to achieve from a satellite unit alone.

360° immersion. Above ground beauty. Below ground bass.

HD Aluminum Conical Ribbon Tweeter

Each ALSB106SK features Ambisonic's proprietary high-definition aluminum conical ribbon tweeter, energized by a neodymium motor. Unlike conventional dome tweeters found in standard landscape speakers, the conical ribbon design uses an ultra-sensitive aluminum diaphragm that is far lighter and more responsive, allowing it to reproduce fine high-frequency detail with minimal distortion — even at high output levels. This is the same class of driver technology used in professional and audiophile loudspeakers. Outdoors, where ambient noise from wind, traffic, or crowds competes with audio, this translates to crisp, intelligible highs that cut through without becoming harsh or fatiguing over extended listening sessions. The tweeter is fully weatherized for permanent outdoor exposure.

Flexible 8Ohm and 70v-100v Switchable Operation

The ALSB106SK supports both conventional 8-ohm low-impedance wiring and 70v-100v distributed audio — switchable on the unit itself. This dual-mode capability makes the speaker equally at home in a residential installation driven by a hi-fi amplifier and in a commercial distributed audio system spanning large areas. At 70v, a single amplifier channel can power multiple bollards over long cable runs without significant signal degradation — critical for hotel grounds, resort terraces, or large estate gardens where cable lengths would otherwise cause problems. At 8 ohms, the speaker integrates directly with premium residential amplifiers for maximum dynamic range. This flexibility means fewer SKUs to stock and a single product that covers a wider range of project types.

Durable All-Weather Hexagonal Aluminum Sleeve

The distinctive hexagonal exterior sleeve is fabricated from premium aluminum — a material chosen for its corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and long-term aesthetic stability in outdoor environments. The ported composite enclosure and all internal components, including the ribbon tweeter, are engineered specifically for permanent outdoor installation under harsh conditions: moisture, UV exposure, temperature cycling, and physical impact. The aluminum sleeve is also designed to be refurbished or re-finished, making it a genuinely sustainable choice: if the exterior shows wear after years of use, it can be refinished rather than replaced. Available in three standard finishes — Stargazing Silver, Midnight Black, and Champagne — with custom powder coating and wrapping also available for projects requiring specific aesthetic integration. A 5-year warranty backs the product.
