Meet the Speaker That Doesn’t Care About the Weather

Rain. Sun. Salty air. Freezing mornings.
The Clearus CTOD 6.5” Outdoor/Indoor Speaker is engineered to keep performing long after typical speakers tap out.

This isn’t just “weather-resistant.”

It’s environment-tested, material-driven durability; built to thrive where most speakers fail.

Salt fog corrosion testing (MIL-STD-883 Method 1009.8). Immersion durability (MIL-STD-810)
That means protection against: Coastal salt air, Heavy rain and moisture cycles, Long-term sun degradation.
Translation: mount it outside and don't worry about it too much.
