Seasons Bollard Loudspeaker
The new Seasons Bollard loudspeaker from Origin Acoustics was designed to produce bass response from individual outdoor speakers in a more attractive aesthetic.

The upper structure is a round enclosure design, housing the 4-inch mid/high frequency transducer 18 inches above the ground. The mid/high frequency driver is down firing and reflects off of an acoustic lens that can be omnidirectional or limited to 180 degrees. $1,750
