Fohhn Weather Rating

Products with Fohhn Weather Rating 2 can be used temporarily outdoors or permanently installed in weather-protected outdoor areas. This requires protection from direct and continuous exposure to weather conditions, for example through a roof overhang or a suitably sheltered installation. Some products also require the use of original Fohhn accessories, such as a cover for the connector panel or a suitable protective cover. Please refer to the overview table below for details of the accessories required for each product.

Products with Fohhn Weather Rating 3 are designed for permanent outdoor use and can also be exposed to direct weather conditions. Depending on the specific product design, enclosures, loudspeaker components, surfaces and connectors are engineered to withstand typical outdoor conditions such as rain, moisture, UV radiation and larger temperature fluctuations. These products are therefore suitable for permanently installed sound reinforcement systems in open outdoor areas. The intended weather protection requires proper installation in accordance with the respective product specifications, including the Fohhn accessories specified for weather protection.

Products with Fohhn Weather Rating 4 are designed for permanent use under particularly demanding environmental conditions. Beyond the requirements of Weather Rating 3, they are also designed for continuous exposure to high levels of moisture and an increased risk of corrosion, particularly on ships, in coastal regions and in other areas with salt-laden air. Their design, materials, surfaces and connectors are optimised accordingly. Depending on the product, particularly corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and specially protected connector systems are used.
