UW30 Underwater Loudspeaker

UW30 Commercial Underwater Speaker with Waterproof, 3-Conductor 15m Cable

The UW30 is a completely sealed loudspeaker specifically designed for underwater applications. It is rated at 30 watts with 8 ohms impedance, making it ideal for a variety of uses such as swimming and diving courses, hotels, leisure parks, and special environments like test laboratories and saunas.

Important Note: We supply the loudspeaker only. The information provided on this data sheet serves as a reference guide and is not included as part of the speaker package.

Features and Benefits

The UW30 is built for permanent installation in both fresh and saltwater pools and can be safely installed in ocean environments. Its plastic construction eliminates common underwater issues like corrosion and electrolysis damage. The ceramic magnet and advanced voice coil design ensure high-quality sound with minimal distortion across its power range.

Applications:

• Ideal for pools up to 9 x 9 meters (1 speaker required).

• For larger pools up to 9 x 18 meters, 2 speakers are recommended.

Sound and Underwater Acoustics

Sound behaves differently underwater compared to air. It travels faster, is more intense, and higher-pitched. Underwater speakers like the UW30 produce sound waves that create an immersive experience, enhancing activities such as entertainment, communication, and relaxation.

Supporting Environmental Restoration: The UW30 speaker has also been employed in ocean restoration projects along the coastlines of Australia. By delivering carefully curated sounds, it assists in promoting marine biodiversity and plays a role in initiatives aimed at rejuvenating coral reefs.

Installation Guidance The UW30 is flush-mounted in a "wet niche" similar to underwater lights.

• Recommended depth: Up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) below the water surface.

• For depths beyond this recommendation, please contact the manufacturer.

• Compatible components for installation include marine plywood or stainless steel mounting rings/faceplates.

Fusing Recommendation: For overload protection, we advise installing a 25-ohm, 20-watt resistor in parallel with a 1.5-amp fast-blowing fuse. This simplifies maintenance by allowing above-water fuse replacement.

Speaker Layout Suggestions:

• Smaller pools: Install speakers in the deep end to balance sound intensity.

• Larger pools: Place speakers around the pool’s periphery—one for every 900 square feet in the deep end and one for every 1,200 square feet in the shallow end.

For high-noise environments, double the number of speakers to achieve optimal sound coverage.
