The PRO 485 has our proprietary WdET™ (Wide Dispersion Enhanced Throw)
technology. Unlike most conventional designs, by having WdET™ technology, the PRO
485 provides remarkable volume and amazing sound quality off axis and on axis. Through
several test the PRO 485 was confirmed to project volume at 150 feet without any loss of
detail or information. Not only does the PRO 485 achieve volume and sound quality at a
minimum of 150 ft, but with the WdET™ technology the rider can enjoy quality sound
while riding outside the wake and being almost parallel to boat.
The driver compliment in each PRO 485 combines two 8 inch EFG™ drivers and one
concentrically mounted HLCD (Horn Loaded Compression Driver). For stellar
performance and higher yielding for the marine environment, Wet Sounds™ developed a
proprietary cone material called EFG™, which stands for epoxy and fiberglass composite
mix. This cone material incorporates characteristic values that are impermeable to damage
from intermittent Ultra Violet exposure and minimal moisture exposure. Like the EFG™
cone material, the Polyurethane that is used for the surround will provide protection against
Ultra Violet exposure and moisture. This will prevent deterioration of the surround yielding
longer life and better reliability. We do, however, encourage you to either remove or cover
your tower speakers when they are not in use. Limiting exposure to Ultra Violet Rays and
to moisture will help extend the life of your tower speakers.
