We did reliability test for LA series under the level of Water proof IPX5 and all passed without any playback problem.
Tested product : LA-12/LA-12H
We believe that LA series (except BT series) have an enough ability for passing IPX6 level because of its
inside reliable construction.
We can assume that LA-1 and LA-14 series(except BT series)as they are same assemble technology and parts. Do not worry about it!
