OSD RX8058" 200W Outdoor Weather-Resistant High Performance Rock Speaker Pair, Brown or Granite Grey
The RX805 Outdoor Rock Speaker is a team favorite at OSD for its natural look and excellent sound. This speaker has an 8-inch polypropylene woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter that provide excellent high and low notes. The RX805 will have no problem filling large backyards, pools or patios and is very natural looking. Place these speakers anywhere a natural rock would be found and you'll hardly notice them (until you turn these speakers on). Typical locations for the rock speakers are rock formations for barriers around pools, ponds and spas, bordering a garden and even as an accent in flower gardens.
Do I need special cable to run outdoor speakers?
We strongly recommend our direct burial, CL3/FT4 waterproof cable and wire connectors that are designed for the outdoors. Our speaker wire uses a specially formulated UV-resistant, white polyethylene jacket that provides protection against water damage and allows the cables to withstand extreme weather conditions like rain, snow and high temperatures and incorporate twice the insulation of average cable. If you plan to bury the cable, OSD recommends you bury it 4-6" underground so that it's not visible nor pose a danger of somebody tripping over it. Our speaker cable is ideal to use in direct burial applications. As for the gauge, for runs up to 100 feet for background music, 16-gauge will be fine. If the run is approaching or exceeding 100 feet, we suggest 14-gauge wire.
Add Volume Controls
Volume controls can be a great addition to a system providing both proper impedance matching and more hands-on local control of the volume in the listening area. We offer a great selection of outdoor volume controls to choose from!
Extremely Durable
OSD outdoor speakers are developed with harsh conditions of the outdoors in mind. Our rock speakers use only non-water-absorbing materials and won't absorb any water. This is critical in winter so it won't freeze and crack. The shape is designed to withstand large amounts of pressure, extreme temperatures and moisture. Remember though, outdoor speakers are an investment, so take care of them. Storing them away from extreme weather conditions will only lengthen the time you will get enjoying outdoor speakers. These rock speakers utilize weather-resistant components for years of trouble free performance.

What is the main difference between these (RX805) and the RS690? I see that these have 8" drivers, but they are less expensive than the 690's. Which would you recommend for a small / medium yard?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Bill,
The RS690 is not 8" - in fact its 6.5" - For a small medium yard i would definetly go with the RS690's they are an office favorite and rightlyfully so they are the BEST 6.5" speakers in the rock category. Opposite of that- the RX805 are the most entry level 8" speaker pair so I think the RS690's are hands down the way to go

Samer,
RX805 are no longer available, but we have several other options for 8" rock speakers. Check out the RS850, RS810, RS800, and RS790. These are sold as single speakers, so you can purchase 6 speakers and connect them to an amp such as the AMP200.

Has anyone used these speakers for PA applications. I want to use them on my golf course for the first tee and making announcements around the clubhouse as well as playing music.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI John:
These should work just fine if your are connecting to a standard receiver that has an 8 ohm output. You would want to place them 8 to 12 feet apart for proper stereo separation and probably be on the other side of the TEE box facing back towards the Pro Shop or maybe facing the Putting green. You could add a second pair of RX-805 for better coverage and add individual Outdoor Volume control for each pair. I should ask you what is you receiver you are using, Brand and Model number so I can better answer your question? Are you running a 70 Volt system, not a big deal we would add an in line transformers to convert the speakers to 70V and you would be able to daisy chain multiple speakers (they would be full range mono for each speaker and you can add a number of speakers. The speaker in either case would work fine for PA as well as playing music. Please contact me at tim@osdaudio.com if you have additional questions. I would be more than happy to help you integrate the speakers with your current system.
Good Luck

I want to use Sonos Connect with 2 pair of the RS805 & AMP200. Is this correct? Do I need anything else?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Brad:
This is a combination we recommend all the time. You can connect a pair of the RS-805 to Speaker A and the second pair to Speaker B. You can also expand your system by adding a SSVC4 speaker selector featuring four zones with internal impedance matching volume controls per each zone. Plus dual source. Another note, it is recommended you connect the SONOS Connect to Input #2. You will have the option of adding a Powered Sub-woofer to output #2 as well. You will also have an option of adding an additional source to the SONOS Connect, accessible through the SONOS App..
Great choice

I want to use an Airport Express base station to connect my speakers with Airplay. What cables will I need in order to the 3.6mm audio jack on the base?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Neil:
You would use a cable that is terminated with a male 3.5mm strereo connector on one end then splits to two male RCA to plug into an external amp (like our AMP200 or AMP120 if powering a pair of speakers) that would then be connected to the speakers with CL3/FT4 rated direct burial speaker wire. WE have the audio cables in 1, 3, 6, and 12 ft (OSD-MS-6ft-6 foot cable).
