The JBL Professional GSF6-TN is a robust, weather-resistant 6.5-inch ground-stake landscape loudspeaker engineered to deliver premium full-range audio for a variety of outdoor commercial applications. Equipped with a two-way coaxial driver system, this speaker provides exceptional fidelity across a frequency range of 65 Hz to 20 kHz with a 70-degree conical coverage, making it an excellent choice for shopping malls, theme parks, hospitality venues, and sports facilities. Its multi-tap 30W transformer supports 70V/100V distributed systems and can be switched for 8-ohm direct operation, ensuring installation flexibility. Finished in a discreet tan color, the GSF6-TN blends seamlessly into outdoor landscapes, providing unobtrusive yet powerful sound reinforcement.

Designed to endure harsh environmental conditions, the GSF6-TN is IP66-rated for resistance to water and dust ingress and meets MilSpec 810 standards for humidity, salt spray, temperature, and UV resistance. The durable polycarbonate and ABS enclosure, paired with an aluminum grille, ensures long-term reliability in demanding outdoor environments. The speaker includes both a ground stake for in-ground mounting and an L-bracket for surface mounting on horizontal or vertical surfaces, offering versatile installation options. Its adjustable hinge allows for precise sound coverage, and a bottom-positioned tap selector ensures easy adjustments while protecting against water incursion. For extended low-frequency performance, the GSF6 pairs effortlessly with JBL GSB8 or GSB12 in-ground subwoofers.
