JBL GSF6-TN Ground-Stake Speaker, 6.5" Coax, Tan
The JBL GSF6-TN is a rugged coaxial ground-stake speaker built for permanent outdoor installations where reliability and consistent coverage are non-negotiable. This tan-finished unit delivers full-range sound from a compact form factor, anchored securely via included ground stake and L-bracket hardware. Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, it's a dependable choice for landscape audio, resort installations, and commercial outdoor venues where the speaker needs to perform day after day without failure.
Audio Performance & Coverage
The coaxial design pairs a 6.5" polypropylene-cone woofer with a 1" titanium dome tweeter to produce smooth response across 65 Hz to 20 kHz. Sensitivity of 87 dB and peak SPL rating of 110 dB (@1m) deliver adequate output for mid-sized outdoor spaces; the 70-degree conical coverage pattern ensures even sound distribution across typical installation areas without dead spots or phase issues.
Construction & Environmental Durability
Housed in a polycarbonate and ABS enclosure with aluminum grille, the GSF6-TN carries IP66 rating for comprehensive water and dust resistance and meets MilSpec 810 environmental standards for humidity, salt spray, temperature extremes, and UV exposure. The 30W multi-tap transformer switches between 8Ω direct operation and 70V/100V distributed systems, letting you integrate the speaker into existing system infrastructures or run it standalone without complications.
