Answer


Operationally, the AD-P6T is rated to withstand cold temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F). However, to prevent freezing in the voice coil, it is advisable to apply constant signal to the loudspeaker.

Note

Product qualification testing for the AD-P6T loudspeaker system included environmental tests with a series of alternating hot and cold swings to the extremes of its specified operating temperature range (-20°C to 50°C). During these tests, the loudspeaker demonstrated its continued functionality by passing audio and producing sound without failure. (Frequency response is measured at room temperature, not at extreme temperatures.)
