The handles have been made for handling Stadia
easily during the connection to the external hard-
ware. Their design allows the water not to stop in any
possible configuration.
Warning! The handles must
not be used neither for rigging, nor for the connec-
tion to safety locking systems.
The Stadia loudspeakers have been designed to
resist to outdoor environment in all weather condi-
tions. This is the result of a technology called “out-
SIDE” which is a set of conceptual and implemen-
tative operations leading the product to be suitable
for exposure to aggressive weather conditions. The
outSIDE concept includes not only the outSIDE coat-
ing technology, but also the particular shape of the
cabinets so that the water can drain easily, weath-
erproof treatment for the speakers, ferrofluid in the
drivers and position and shape of the internal ele-
ments. The outSIDE coating technology is a special
procedure which implements two layers of polyurea
paint plus one layer of UV- resistant finish with cal
-
ibrated elasticity. This kind of finish avoids polymer
-
ization and yellowing of the polyurea, whereas the
calibrated elasticity helps keeping in time the perfect
adherence between the layers in order to adapt to the
dimensional variations of wood caused by “wet-dry”
cycles of outdoor environment. It is to consider that
the total thickness of the layers is of 2 mm (to add to
the overall dimensions given in the technical draw-
ings).
The Stadia loudspeakers have been certified with
an IP55 rating, which means that the enclosure is
protected from limited dust ingress and from low
pressure water jets from any direction (limited in-
gress protection). The IP55 certification is related to
the loudspeaker inclined by minimum 15° downward
tilt (aiming of the acoustical axis).
