6 Father’s Day Gifts for a Tech-Savvy Dad

The new AcoustaScape brand of speakers from Origin Acoustics offers a building block approach to outdoor music, and is designed to give medium-sized outdoor environments wide dispersion sound coverage. AcoustaScape is anchored by the 8-Ohm AS41 Hi-Fi Landscape Audio System, comprising four 4-inch enclosed satellite speakers and an 8-inch in-ground subwoofer that all blend into the landscape. The entire system supports up to eight speakers (AS4SAT extension speakers are sold in pairs) for coverage of up to 2,500 square feet.

AcoustaScape’s two-way satellite speakers deliver a wide dispersion and require no separate amplifier. They can be powered from the Zone 2 output of any source component. The 8 Ohms-per-channel impedance matched Hi-Fi outdoor system is equipped with 50 to 200 watts of power handling.

The AcoustaScape System (A41SYS), including four satellites and one subwoofer, retails for $1,700. Each additional pair of satellites is $400, so an 8.1 system would retail for $2,500.
