The Fonestar SONORA-5B16 is a professional-grade 5.25” loudspeaker designed for high-performance audio in distributed sound systems. While it shares the premium aesthetics and durability of the SONORA series, the "16" version is specifically engineered with a 16 Ω impedance. This allows for more speakers to be connected in parallel to a single low-impedance amplifier channel, making it the perfect choice for larger venues that require uniform sound coverage without the need for a 100V line system.
By utilizing a 16 Ω design, the SONORA-5B16 provides system designers with greater flexibility. You can safely wire two speakers in parallel to achieve an 8 Ω load, or even four speakers to achieve a 4 Ω load on a single amplifier channel. This allows for high-fidelity, low-impedance audio across larger spaces like long corridors, expansive restaurant floors, or multi-zone retail environments.
Small in size but big on sound, the SONORA-5B16 delivers a high-quality listening experience:
Two-Way Clarity: Features a 5.25” polypropylene woofer and a 1” tweeter for a balanced 80–20,000 Hz frequency range.
Punchy Performance: With 40W RMS power, it delivers crisp background music and highly intelligible voice announcements, even in noisy environments.
The SONORA-5B16 is built to thrive in both elegant indoor settings and harsh outdoor conditions:
IP66 Waterproof: Fully protected against dust and powerful water jets, ensuring longevity in rain-exposed areas.
Marine Grade Durability: Equipped with a powder-coated aluminum grille, stainless steel hardware, and a UV-resistant ABS enclosure. It is certified for salt-mist resistance (IEC 60068-2-11), making it ideal for beachfront terraces and coastal resorts.
Designed for the professional installer, the SONORA-5B16 includes:
"Easy-Mount" Bracket: An adjustable weatherproof mount allowing for ± 60º of rotation in all directions for horizontal or vertical placement.
Professional Euroblock Terminals: High-quality connectors that ensure a secure, long-lasting connection and simplify daisy-chaining.
Safety First: Includes a steel safety cable for extra security in public, high-traffic installations.
Large Commercial Spaces: Shopping centers, supermarkets, and hotel lobbies where multiple speakers are needed on a single line.
Hospitality: Restaurants, cafes, and beach clubs requiring high-fidelity outdoor sound.
