SSOUNDS LC4.4W
IP66 die-cast aluminium 4 × 4.5″ column for covered walkways, entrances and courtyards, 160° × 10°.
Outdoors there are no walls to help, and rain, dust and sun are part of the specification. The LC4.4W is four 4.5″ full-range drivers in an IP66 die-cast aluminium column with a sprayed protective finish, covering 160° horizontally and 10° vertically so a wall position reaches along a walkway without spraying the facade above it. It is the shortest LC outdoor column, for covered walkways, entrances, mosque courtyards and station forecourts.
Part of the LC System
Four 4.5″ drivers: covered walkways, entrances and courtyards.
LC stands for Line Column. Drivers stacked in a vertical line that radiates as one line source, so the vertical pattern is set by the length of the column: energy lands on the listeners and stays off the reverberant ceilings and walls around them. The outdoor W models carry the same principle in IP66 die-cast aluminium, and the D models carry their own amplifier and take Dante audio and PoE power on one network cable.

Measurement conditions
- Maximum SPL is the peak level at 1 m, driven with pink noise at crest factor 4 to the clipping point of the recommended amplifier, with the SSOUNDS system preset applied. Full-range enclosures are specified under free-field conditions; figures marked half-space are specified over a reflecting plane, the condition subwoofers are deployed in, which adds approximately 6 dB.
- Frequency response is specified on axis at 1 m in a free field. The tolerance the figure is referenced to is stated alongside it; where no tolerance is given, the figure is the −6 dB bandwidth.
- Sensitivity is specified at 1 W into the nominal impedance at 1 m on axis, averaged across the pass band of the enclosure.
- Coverage angles are nominal −6 dB values averaged across the pass band. Per-octave directivity data is available from SSOUNDS system design support for prediction and modelling.
- Recommended amplifier power is the amplifier output SSOUNDS specifies for this enclosure, driven with the SSOUNDS system preset. It guides amplifier selection and is not an AES power-handling rating for the transducers.
- Nominal impedance is the manufacturer's rating for amplifier load calculation; minimum impedance across the operating band may be lower.
- Net weight excludes packaging, flight case, accessories and optional rigging hardware.
- Dimensions are stated in millimetres and exclude protruding rigging hardware, handles and connector panels unless noted.
- All figures are typical values for production units specified under the conditions above. Individual units may vary within published tolerances.
Directivity
Directivity computed by the SSOUNDS system prediction engine from this product's driver complement, the same dataset the printed data sheet uses. 1/24-octave band-power resolution; values are dB relative to on-axis.
