Extreme Series
Making a range of speakers that delivers the performance associated with Acoustic Energy that can also survive the rigours of life outside has been a challenging one but in the Extreme Series, we feel we have succeeded. The polymer resin cabinets and aluminium grilles are designed to withstand moisture, humidity and extreme changes in temperature. The fixed bracket design allows for easy mounting and both models offer high power handling. Available in a black or a white finish, the latter can also be painted to the finish of your choice.
While they are very robust, the Extreme Series is also a true Acoustic Energy product and performs as such. The Extreme 5 is ideal for use in gardens and high moisture environments but would be at home in a domestic audio system, while the larger Extreme 8 is powerful enough to be at home in demanding commercial environments as well.

Extreme 5
The Extreme 5 is a compact, discreet, weatherproof speaker suitable for use in gardens, marquee’s, sauna’s – or even on boats!
With hard-wearing resin cabinets and aluminium grilles the Extreme’s can withstand even the harshest conditions and can be painted to suit the surrounding environment. All of Acoustic Energy’s acoustic know-how has gone into creating a speaker with high-fidelity sound and power-handling belying its small dimensions, the Extreme 5 would not be out of place in a home hi-fi set-up!
