   The AQ339 Aquasonic Underwater Speaker is the worlds only full-frequency,
full-fidelity underwater speaker. This amazing speaker brings water to life,
enabling a wide array of swimming pool enthusiasts to enjoy the gift of music below the
waters surface.

   The AQ339 can be used in two different ways. For those wanting a more
permanent installation, the AQ339 can be mounted inside a large light niche
with a face ring kit (niche and face ring kit sold separately). For users who need
underwater sound in multiple locations, such as synchronized swim teams, a
tether can be attached to the AQ339 so it can be used as a drop-in speaker.

   An amplifier is required in order to operate the AQ339 Speaker. Clark Synthesis
recommends using an amplifier that is stable at 4 ohms that can deliver 125-150
watts @ 4 ohms (per speaker).

The AQ339 Speaker is perfect for:

  • Swimming Pools
  • Lap Pools
  • Resorts and Hotels
  • Synchronized Swimming
  • Swim Team Training
  • Marine Animal Training

Products you might need for installation:

   Twenty years ago, very few people had heard of underwater loudspeakers. Today, they are
one of the hottest accessories for new swimming pool construction. Whether used for lap swimming,
relaxation, or just playing with the kids, underwater speakers provide swimming pool enthusiasts with
music that completes the swimming swimming pool experience.
   With so many swimming pool users wanting underwater sound, it is important to know what to look
for when selecting underwater speakers. A few key areas to keep in mind include:

  • Frequency Response
    Look for speakers that have
    good frequency response in
    the low, middle, and high
    frequency ranges. Many
    underwater speakers use
    piezo technology to reproduce
    sound. This is the same
    technology used to make high
    frequency tweeters for home
    theater speakers. Although
    piezo speakers do reproduce
    sound in the upper-mid
    and high frequency ranges,
    they cannot reproduce low
    frequency sounds, which can
    cause your favorite music to
    soundtinny.In order to get
    the best sound in your swimming pool,
    insure the speakers you select
    can reproduce full-bandwith
    sound.
  • Speaker Placement
    There are two factors related
    to speaker placement that are
    important to consider when
    shopping for speakers. First,
    it is important to determine
    the amount of sound coverage
    you want in the swimming pool. A good
    speaker will generally be able
    to deliver quality sound over a
    400 sq.ft. area. Second, insure
    you buy speakers that can be
    mounted at varying depths.
    Some speakers are sold with
    minimum depth ratings. In
    order to give yourself the
    most flexibility in terms of
    installation and coverage
    options, buy speakers with no
    minimum depth requirements.
    This will allow you to mount
    the speakers in various areas
    of the swimming pool, including the
    shallow end.
  • Appearance
    Given the amount of
    money spent on designing,
    constructing, and maintaining
    attractive swimming swimming pools, it
    is important to consider how
    underwater speakers will look
    in your swimming pool. If the speaker
    requires a special enclosure,
    it may not blend in well with
    your swimming swimming pool fixtures
    and accessories. Consider
    buying speakers that are
    designed to be installed in
    widely-used pool light niches
    and mounting hardware.
    This will give your swimming pool the
    attractive look you desire.

   With these factors in mind, you will
be well on your way to finding the best
underwater speaker for your swimming pool. And,
once installed, you will enjoy hour after hour
of listening fun, not to mention being the
envy of the neighborhood.
