Wet Sounds Announces Pro 60 Wakeboard Tower Speakers

When Wet Sounds burst on to the scene they quickly made a name for themselves as the premier supplier of high end audio solutions for wakeboard towers. Known for their high output horn based systems that use 8″ mid-bass drivers to cover lower frequencies, Wet Sounds have now focused their efforts on expanding their line of product with a more compact version of the popular Pro 80 wakeboard tower speakers.

Check out our gallery with shots of the new Pro 60 speakers after the break.

Available in both the standard and Illusion X configuration, the Pro 60 makes use of the same horn loaded compression driver tweeter as the Pro 80 series, but uses a smaller 6″ mid-bass driver for a more compact enclosure. The result is a smaller design than the Pro 80 sibling, but with similar clarity and audible output behind the boat. If the Pro 80’s are attractive to you, but you want something that is smaller and requires less power for optimal output, the Pro 60 wakeboard tower speakers may be just the ticket.

Detailed information from the Wet Sounds website:

W-DET technology. W-DET is a wide dispersion enhanced throw technology. Unlike most conventional designs, by using the enhanced throw portion of this technology, the PRO 60 provides amazing volume and sound quality out to the rider and beyond. Wet Sounds™ takes this a step further by incorporating a wide dispersion design. Not only providing the volume and sound quality out to the rider, but providing a widely dispersed sound field that can be heard even while outside of the wake.

The driver compliment in the PRO 60 uses a single 8 inch Wet Sounds™ EFG™ driver and a coaxially mounted HLCD (Horn Loaded Compression Driver) per speaker. This is wet sounds proprietary “Pro-axial” technology. The 6.5 inch Pro-Axial™ is one of the most unique coaxial drivers ever developed. We used our proprietary cone material called EFG™, which is an epoxy fiberglass. Wet Sounds™ developed this cone material specifically for the PRO series of tower speakers. EFG™ is used because it is the optimum cone material that provides a light yet rigid cone, resulting in a quick transient response for tight bass, exceptional sound quality, and great resistance to water. Polyurethane is used for the surround to provide a weather resistant surround that will not rot or deteriorate like conventional foam surrounds and is more efficient than typical rubber surrounds. The high frequency driver is a wide dispersion HLCD (horn loaded compression driver)

Extensive crossover network. Wet Sounds™ developed an advanced crossover network for the

PRO 60. Allowing for amazing output to the rider while maintaining exceptional sound quality.

The PRO 60 uses one Trick Connect™ Bracket per speaker. These Trick Connect Brackets are designed to give you the option to have speakers facing the rear for music while riding or to be faced forward when the boat is beached. Trick Connect also makes removing the speakers for storage quick and easy.

There are three pieces to the Trick Connect™ Bracket assembly. The tower clamp that attaches to the tower, the U bracket that is attached to the speaker and there are various sizes of rubber inserts to use depending on what size tower pipe you have. The Trick Connect™ Bracket is a 2 7/8 inch Chrome Plated Aluminum Clamp. The rubber inserts will fit the following towers. (2 ½”,2 ¼”,2”,1 ¾”,1 5/8”,1 ½”)
