Power Dynamics BC30V - Pair of 3" Passive Speakers for Indoor and Outdoor Use
The Power Dynamics BC30V pair of loudspeakers represents the ultimate audio solution for those seeking versatility, durability, and high-quality sound. Designed to perform exceptionally well both indoors and outdoors, these compact loudspeakers deliver impressive power and clarity, adapting to a wide range of sound reinforcement applications, from background music to public address systems.
One of its most outstanding features is its dual impedance system. Thanks to an easily accessible rotary selector, you can choose between a standard 8-ohm connection for conventional audio systems, or a 100V line configuration, ideal for large-scale commercial installations where multiple speakers are connected over long distances without any loss of quality. This flexibility makes them a smart and scalable option for any project.
Built to withstand the elements, the BC30V speakers boast an IPX5 protection rating , guaranteeing their resistance to pressurized water jets from any direction. The grille and mounting brackets are constructed from marine-grade aluminum and finished with a durable powder coating, providing superior protection against corrosion and wear in humid or saline environments. This makes them perfect for patios, gardens, pools, or even installations on boats and in coastal areas.

- Audio systems for recreational boats and marine applications.
- Sound solutions for outdoor events, parks and garden areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that they are 100V and 8 Ohm?
This means they have two operating modes. The 8-ohm mode is the standard for most home amplifiers. The 100V line mode is used in professional installations to connect many speakers to a single amplifier over long distances with thinner cables and without loss of quality, ideal for sound reinforcement in large areas.
Can I leave these speakers permanently installed outdoors?
Yes. They have an IPX5 rating, meaning they are resistant to water jets and rain. Their marine-grade construction protects them from corrosion, so they are designed for permanent outdoor installation.
Do I need an amplifier for them to work?
Yes, these are passive speakers, meaning they require an external amplifier to function. The amplifier must be compatible with either 8-ohm or 100V line systems, depending on the mode you select.
Does the product include one or two speakers?
The product is supplied as a pair, so you will receive two speaker units with their respective mounting brackets.
