About the Rock 80-SM
The Paradigm Rock Monitor 80-SM is a high-performance outdoor speaker designed to blend into landscaped areas like patios, lawns, or pools with its faux-stone finish (available in Northeastern Dark Granite or Fieldstone). It features a single speaker system with stereo L/R inputs, providing two channels of sound from one unit via Dual-Directional Soundfield™ technology: two 25-mm (1 in) PTD™ pure-titanium dome tweeters offset at 30° angles for wide dispersion and clarity, paired with a dual voice-coil 190-mm (7-1/2 in) ICP™ injection-molded co-polymer polypropylene cone woofer with die-cast aluminum chassis and oversized ferrite magnets for detailed midrange and bass. The sealed PolyGlass™ enclosure is fully weather, water, and UV-resistant with self-draining fissures and stainless steel grilles, ensuring durability in adverse conditions. It delivers smooth, extended high-frequency performance and natural sound, backed by Paradigm's research with Canada's NRC.
