JBL GSF3-GN - 60W 3-inch Passive IP66-Rated 70V/100V Ground-Stake Landscape Loudspeaker 90-Degree Coverage in Green Finish

The JBL Professional GSF3-GN is a compact, durable 3-inch in-ground landscape loudspeaker designed to provide superior sound fidelity and wide coverage for outdoor commercial spaces. Engineered with a custom two-way coaxial driver system, the GSF3 delivers full-range, crystal-clear audio with a frequency range of 74 Hz to 20 kHz and a rated maximum SPL of 103 dB. The speaker is IP66-rated for water and dust resistance, making it ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions. Equipped with a 15W multi-tap transformer, the GSF3 can operate in 70V/100V distributed audio systems or in 8-ohm direct mode, allowing for versatile integration into various sound installations. Its understated hunter green finish ensures it blends seamlessly into outdoor environments like gardens, malls, theme parks, and hospitality venues.

The GSF3-GN is designed for flexibility and ease of use, featuring an adjustable hinge that allows for precise aiming of sound. It comes with both a ground stake for in-ground installation and an L-bracket for mounting on horizontal or vertical surfaces, catering to diverse installation requirements. The bottom-positioned tap selector is easily accessible yet protected from water incursion, ensuring reliable operation in any weather. Constructed from durable polycarbonate and ABS materials with a flammability rating of UL94V-0, and paired with an aluminum grille, the GSF3 is built to last while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive profile. For extended low-frequency performance, the GSF3 pairs seamlessly with JBL's GSB8 or GSB12 landscape subwoofers, completing a comprehensive outdoor sound system.
