System installers looking for a durable surface-mount speaker that's easy to install will be pleased with the black Bose Professional FreeSpace FS2SE, a passive, surface-mount, outdoor loudspeaker with a remarkably consistent tonality. The speaker features a 2.25" full-range driver with a 130 x 130° coverage pattern designed for intelligible foreground/background music and paging applications in retail stores, restaurants, resorts, and more.

The FS2SE handles up to 80W of peak handling power and is capable of producing a maximum peak SPL of 106 dB. The integrated multi-tap transformer can be configured for an array of 70/100V settings via a convenient thumbwheel beneath the grille. The FS2SE is voiced to ensure consistent tonality throughout the FreeSpace family, so it can be installed alongside other surface-mount and in-ceiling loudspeakers without compromising the system's sonic signature. The supplied U-brackets allows horizontal or vertical orientation and adjustable pitch or yaw. A removeable logo and weather-resistant input cover are also included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I also use these speakets indoor?

A: Yes.

Q: 2. Can these speakers stand up to 120 desert summers? Would try to have them in the shade.

A: According to Bose: "Bose outdoor speakers are designed for harsh conditions. These weather resistant speakers are engineered and tested to withstand snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 140° F to -22° F. They are also protected by a five-year limited warranty." So these should stand up pretty well, specially if you have them in the shade.

Q: 3. Hi do you ship to ireland and if so do these speakers come with brakets ? Thank you in advance . James

A: Unfortunately B&H cannot ship BOSE products outside the USA.

Q: 4. I bought two of these speakers to be used with a Sonos Amp (125W channels). Can/should I bypass the internal transformer?

A: For connection to a Sonos amp, the Bose Freespace 360P Series II Environmental Loudspeaker (Green) should be in a 4-ohm setting. The transformer wattage tap is for the purpose of connecting to a 70V/100V amplifier so that you can keep the speaker limited to a certain wattage, reserving the leftover wattage for connecting other speakers to that same 70V/100V amplifier, which is typically used in commercial retail, grocery stores, and warehouses.

Q: 5. Are these only wired or Bluetooth as well?

A: The Freespace 360P Series II Environmental Loudspeaker is a wired speaker for use in outdoor systems. It can be used in-ground or above ground and is designed to blend in with landscaping.

Q: 6. How are they powered? Are they wireless for iPhones and I touch?

A: These speakers are conventional passive devices that require power to drive them from an amplifier or home AV receiver.

Q: 7. How many conductors to each speaker? 16/2 wire or 16/4 wire needed?

A: 16/2 speaker wire will work well. This is a stranded copper cabling and not solid wire as used for electrical work.

Q: 8. I am just using a bookshelf Samsung Stereo that came with 4 ohm speakers/ 80W per channel. Is there a way to wire these that bypasses the internal transformer, basically making them work the Freespace 51's (which I can't find)?

A: Yes, The Bose Freespace 360P Series II Environmental Loudspeaker can operate at 4 ohms and can handle 80W of power. If you use the black common wire as negative and the orange 80W wire as positive, you will be using the speaker at full power and bypassing its internal transformer. The Freespace 360Ps and Freespace 51s cannot be daisy chained together but they can be wired directly to your stereo receiver or power amplifier.

Q: 9. I have a QSC CX-204V 4 Channel Power Amplifier (70V), can it be used to power these speakers?

A: No. These speakers have an impedance of 8 ohms and will not work on a 70 volt system.

Q: 10. Hi, if these speakers are placed in a pool deck about 100 feet away from the receiver, can they be wired with a 10 AWG wire?

A: The Bose 251 Outdoor Environmental Speakers (White) BH #BO251W would require standard speaker wiring. 10 AWG would work.
