Coastal Source EB2650BN 1000 Series Bi-Amplified 3-Way Ellipse Bollard Outdoor Speaker in Brown
Coastal Source EB2650BN, the EB2650 3-Way Ellipse Bollard in a Brown fine textured satin finish, brings the 1000 Series' reimagined approach to high-performance outdoor audio to residential landscapes, hospitality settings and commercial spaces. A direct evolution of the 10.0 3-Way Ellipse Bollard, it is engineered to deliver expansive, high-fidelity sound while remaining unobtrusive and durable. As the highest-efficiency model in the 1000 Series, this powerful speaker is built for demanding applications where acoustic output, architectural flexibility and a refined appearance all matter.
Its fully sealed, bi-amplified design gives the satellite and subwoofer sections dedicated roles, combining premium dynamic performance with the authority of four bass drivers. Technologies informed by Coastal Source's flagship Line Source systems help produce rich, full-range sound with refined tonal balance, natural vocals and musical accuracy. Specialized high-frequency reproduction preserves nuance and clarity, while the quad-driver bass system adds deep, controlled low-end weight suited to open-air listening. Broad 120 degrees dispersion supports consistent sound across the listening area with fewer hot spots and less drop-off.
Designed specifically for life outdoors, the EB2650BN combines layered environmental protection with the structural stability needed for dependable year-round operation through heat, moisture, salt air and freezing temperatures. Freestanding placement and partial-burial installation let the bollard either make a quiet architectural statement or recede further into a professionally designed landscape. Its Plug+Play system architecture also streamlines integration and future expansion. Whether used in a premium backyard, a hospitality property or a large commercial landscape, the EB2650BN delivers powerful, evenly distributed sound that feels natural, refined and connected to its surroundings.
Key Features
Advanced Acoustic Performance
A 3 in weatherized planar ribbon tweeter renders upper frequencies with exceptional detail and dynamic range for outdoor environments. The 7 in x 10 in carbon fiber driver adds radiating area for greater output and efficiency, while the anti-diffraction waveguide shapes smoother dispersion and more natural coverage.
Deep, Controlled Bass
Four 6.5 in woofers use force-canceling performance to produce balanced bass without overwhelming the environment. The sealed acoustic suspension enclosure increases usable internal volume, and acoustic lining damps low frequencies to improve control and overall tonal balance.
Modular by Design
Interchangeable architecture gives integrators flexibility to tailor a system to different projects, layouts and installation requirements. Field controls allow the satellite to be assigned to channel 1 or 2 and the subwoofer to channel 3 or 4, supporting adaptable system configuration on site.
Built to Defy the Elements
The sealed elliptical enclosure uses Coastal Source's proprietary color-through rotomolded composite material for a refined architectural appearance. Its construction is engineered to resist moisture, UV exposure, temperature extremes, salt air and corrosion in demanding coastal and outdoor settings.
Smarter Integration
8C16 Uni-Connect input and output connectors work with the Coastal Source Plug+Play ecosystem to reduce installation complexity, simplify expansion and support long-term system reliability.1

Footnotes:
1 Connection to third-party amplifiers requires Coastal Source In-Field Splices to convert the speaker's 8C16 connection to conventional two-conductor bare wire.
2 The 1000 Series Hardscape Mount and other optional mounting accessories referenced in installation guidance are sold separately.
3 The 50-500 sq ft coverage range varies according to listening preference and ambient noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. The fully sealed outdoor speaker meets or exceeds NEMA 6 / IP67 testing standards and is designed for year-round operation in demanding environments. Its color-through rotomolded composite enclosure is engineered for protection against moisture, UV exposure, temperature extremes, salt air, freezing temperatures, and corrosion.
-
One speaker can cover approximately 50-500 sq ft of listening space, depending on listening preferences and ambient noise. For system layouts, the manufacturer recommends spacing speakers at least 12 ft apart and no more than 40 ft apart.
-
Installation options include freestanding landscape placement, partial burial, or hardscape mounting with an optional mount sold separately. For direct burial, use a 14 in diameter hole and do not exceed a burial depth of 19.5 in. The bottom edge of the subwoofer grille must remain at least 1 in above grade, and locations prone to flooding should be avoided.
-
The minimum amplifier power is 50W for the satellite section and 300W for the subwoofer section. Peak power handling is 200W for the satellite and 500W for the subwoofer, with a 16-ohm operating impedance. Up to eight 16-ohm speakers may be wired in parallel on a 2-ohm-stable amplifier.
