Weather-protected LINAs include a rain hood for indoor/outdoor touring and sheltered outdoor installations. Meyer Sound offers
three rain hood models: A fixed rigid rain hood for permanent installations, a collapsible hood for portable applications, and an
Ultra Weather Protection rain hood that has improved corrosion resistance (see Appendix C, "ULTRA Weather Protection Ver-
sion" and Appendix D, "LINA UW Rain Hood and Shield Attachment"). Please specify the desired rain hood when ordering.
