Description
Thank you for purchasing the Boston Acoustics Voyager ® Rock series speakers for your outdoor entertainment
system. These speakers combine the famous Boston sound, weatherproof design and enclosures designed
to blend into the surrounding environment. Enjoy exceptional sound on your patio, in your garden or around
your pool.
All the Voyager Rock models are true two-way designs housed in rugged enclosures with a natural stone appear-
ance. The Voyager RK5 is a mono speaker that features a 5
1 ⁄
4
” (135mm) woofer and a Boston-built 3 ⁄
4
” (19mm) soft
dome tweeter. The Voyager RK6T is an integrated stereo loudspeaker that uses two 1-inch soft dome tweeters
set at an angle to enhance sound dispersion and create a sense of stereo separation. Its rugged 6
1 ⁄

” woofer has
a double-wound voice coil so it can reproduce both channels of a stereo output. The RK8T builds on this design
concept and also uses a pair of 1-inch soft dome tweeters and matches them with a potent 8-inch woofer.
All the parts of the Voyager ® RK series speakers are manufactured from high-tech plastics, rubbers, and other
materials that have been extensively tested for durability.
Additional Key Features
•
The Voyager RK speakers are “voiced” for outdoor performance. Their sound is contoured to provide the
best performance in open air environments. They blend perfectly with the other Voyager series models.
• The woofers have mica-filled copolymer cones with butyl rubber surrounds. The tweeters have soft domes.
• The woofers have a stepped woofer basket that sets the cone forward to prevent “tunnel effect” and pre-
serve smooth, natural midrange sound.
• The drivers are angled upwards 0 degrees to deliver great sound when they are placed at ground level.
• All have completely weatherproof with rustproof hardware and grilles. (IEC 6059, IPX4. IPX5)
• The enclosures, grilles and drivers stand up to weather and temperature extremes and are UV protected.
• Integrated six foot underground-rated connection cable is included.
• Waterproof speaker wire connectors are provided.
• Internal mounting posts for an optional 70/100 volt transformer for use in commercial applications or home
audio systems where many speakers are used or where speaker wires must be run over long distances.
