SKU: FORZA-6-PAR
OSD Forza 66.5" Pendant Speaker IP66 Rated, Hanging or Landscape, 8 Ohm/70V Tap, Bronze (Single)
Designed for distributed audio systems in home and commercial settings, our Forza 6 hanging pendant speaker is ideal for spaces with irregular or uneven architectural features such as high vaulted ceilings. Pendant loudspeakers resemble lighting fixtures and blend into high-end home environments, malls, restaurants, bars, museums and other spaces where multiple speakers are required and where speaker placement is challenging. The included cable and hook can be suspended from poles or other fixed structures so placement is flexible, and cables are hidden for an aesthetically-pleasing appearance. The Forza 6 pendant speaker is a 2-way design that includes a 6.5” polypropylene woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter that work in tandem to produce a 120-degree sound dispersion with rich and accurate high, medium and low frequencies. Wiring is hidden for an aesthetically pleasing installation, and the outer shell enclosure is built with an IP66-rated UV-resistant material so it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Outdoor mounting accessories can be purchased separately for landscape and surface mounting.
Durable Cone Materials
In addition to a weather-resistant enclosure, the Forza 6 includes a 6.5” polypropylene woofer. Polypropylene is a popular speaker material due to the added stiffness and durability over paper cones. Polypropylene cone woofers produce rich and detailed low- and mid-range and very balanced sound overall. For the high end, the these hanging pendant speakers include a 1” silk dome tweeter.
Includes 70/100V Tap
An easy-access selector switch is located on the face of the loudspeaker for selectable 8 ohm or 70V/100V tap operation. This allows these pendant speakers to be used as a standard 8-ohm speakers or as commercial speakers with multiple wiring runs.

How do these compare to the OSD Black model: https://www.osdaudio.com/products/black-series/black-outdoor/black-series-indoor-outdoor-2-way-70v-pendant-speaker-with-6-5-polypropylene-cone-woofer-and-1-aluminum-dome-tweeter-black-bk-pls6-1009.html?

Hi Brian:
The Black Series Pendant speaker is available through Audio Video integrators and not priced online. These have been in stock for about 8 to 10 months. They sell as each plus we offer an optional outdoor garden mount kit. They feature a Black finish and limited to the Black Series dealer. The FORZA series was created to sell through our Outdoor Speaker Depot site offering an upgrade to our LS2 and LS3 Garden speakers. We liked the flexible design where these could use as either a hanging pendant speaker or a Garden speaker with the optional kit. Plus we have a good and better step up option. They also feature the new FORZA series finish; Copper Brown. Internal components are similar on both.

Are these Bluetooth?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Ron:The FORZA 6 Garden Speakers are not Bluetooth. We do have Bluetooth Patio Speakers (5.25" and 6.5" versions), Bluetooth Rock Speakers (5.25" and 8.0" Versions), Bluetooth Planter Speakers, and Bluetooth Frog Speakers. All six of these Bluetooth speakers feature a Master Speaker that contains the Bluetooth Receiver, 2 Channel Stereo power amplifier and either a Tweeter and Woofer (as in our Patio speakers) or a 2-Way coaxial speaker for the Rocks, Planter or Frog Speakers. All have an AC Power cord with inline Power Supply to power the Bluetooth Receiver and two-channel stereo amplifier. We do offer a solution called the BOM4.1 which features an 8.0" Bluetooth Receiver along with a Single 100 Watt Sub Amp plus a four channel 60 watt power Amplifier (2 Stereo outputs) so you can power any two pair of outdoor speakers including two pair of the FORZA 6 Garden Speakers. You still need to run AC power to the Sub Enclosure.TL/5538

Do they come in white?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Pete:I know we are adding a four-inch version in a white or black finish in our OSD Black Series lineup. I am checking if we are also planning to add a white finished version as well. The Black series version is a black finish. The Forza is more Brown or Bronze finish. I am checking if any of our current series are paintable. I have your email address, so I will be able to send you more info as I receive it.TL/5585

Dan • 04/27/2023, 11:54:41 AM
Do I need to put 2 of the pendant speakers in the same general vacinity or can I get by with 1?
Customer Service • 05/22/2023, 6:15:06 PM
Hi Dan:
It depends on your system. Do you have a single pair of FORZA6 connected to a 4/8-ohm stereo amplifier? So you have two conductors (+/-) for each speaker from your Receiver, one for the left and the second for the right channel. These should be spaced together to promote the stereo signal. The pair would feature an 8-ohm load to the amplifier. If you added a second pair connecting to the first pair right to the right and left to left (the speakers feature a connector that has in and out option). This would create a 4-ohm load at the amplifier, two 8-ohm speakers wired in parallel. You would install these speakers starting with a left, then a right, left, then a 2nd right. In a 70Volt system, the signal is full range Mono and a single two-conductor starts at the first speaker in and out, then moves on to the second speaker. Stereo separation isn't the concern but ample coverage from one speaker to the next. Could you contact me and let me know more about your actual project? tim@osdaudio.com.
