Cuboid 6 is a full range, two way, passive 6.5” loudspeaker designed to give exceptional sound quality in a compact form factor, for distributed applications with high quality background music and speech reproduction.
With its attractive design and included mounting hardware, Cuboid 6 can be fixed in either portrait or landscape orientation for simple and flexible installation. A weatherproof terminal cover is available for outdoor use, bringing the rating to IP54.
Cuboid 6 features a 6.5” low frequency driver and a 1” silk dome high frequency driver mated to a shallow wave guide for consistent HF distribution.
For enhanced bass performance, Cuboid 6 can be teamed with Sub 10, and a SmartAmp or powered Zone will provide amplification, optimal sound settings as well as limiters to protect the drivers when playing at louder sound levels.
When teamed with Zone and WebApp, system set up and end user control is simple and intuitive, and can be further supplemented by ZonePad wall controllers.

- Compact design: The 6.5-inch size offers a balance between discretion and sound performance for various environments.
- High-fidelity sound: Delivers clear and rich audio with a maximum SPL (Sound Pressure Level) of 107dB (continuous) and 113dB (peak).
- Wide coverage angle: Provides a 65° horizontal and 90° vertical coverage angle, suitable for focused sound distribution in targeted areas.
- Mounting options: Allows for both portrait and landscape mounting for flexible installation based on your needs.
- Optional weatherproofing: An optional weatherproof terminal cover (sold separately) grants the Cuboid 6 an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Cuboid 5 | Cuboid 6 |
| Driver size | 5 inch | 6.5 inch |
| Maximum SPL (continuous) | 105 dB | 107 dB |
| Maximum SPL (peak) | 111 dB | 113 dB |
| Horizontal coverage | 130° | 65° |
| Vertical coverage | 120° | 90° |
The Cuboid 6 offers a larger driver size for potentially higher sound pressure and a slightly different coverage pattern with a narrower horizontal and wider vertical dispersion.
The Cuboid 6 is a passive speaker and requires a separate amplifier to function. Optimal Audio offers amplifiers like the Amp series designed to work seamlessly with their Cuboid speaker range. The amplifier should have a compatible impedance rating (typically 8 ohms) and sufficient power output to drive the Cuboid 6 speakers effectively.
