The speakers mount easily on either a wall or ceiling corner, giving listeners a host of installation options. Locate them near an outdoor hot tub, under a roof eve in the garden, or above the back deck, where the weather-resistant housing will hold up to both sun and wind exposure. The speakers aren't completely waterproof, however, so BIC America recommends installing them under a covering. To further protect the speakers, the company included an anodized screen grille, which keeps water splashes and drizzle from damaging the components. When locating them indoors, merely pop off the anodized grille and add the cloth indoor grille instead.

Audio-wise, each speaker boasts a 5.25-inch polypropylene cone woofer and 0.5-inch poly dome tweeter, which combine to deliver a frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz. Additional specs include an 8-ohm impedance, a sensitivity of 90 dB, and a crossover frequency of 5 kHz. The speakers perform particularly well when combined with other BIC America home theater speakers, which are tonally matched to complement the Adattos and are video shielded to prevent image interference. Each speaker handles 10 to 125 watts and measures 6.25 by 9 by 6 inches (W x H x D). The pair is also backed by a seven-year warranty when used indoors and a two-year outdoor warranty.
