How to Choose the Right Outdoor Speakers For You

Submitted By: John Schofield

Hosting parties is a good way to have fun and to catch up with friends, neighbors, and busy family members. These days, people have to set aside time to be social and not get buried with work. With parties in mind, it would be more fun to have them in your garden or poolside. These outdoor parties would give a more casual feel to the kind of fun that you would like to have. This is when you should invest in outdoor speakers. It should be noted though that there are certain factors outdoors that can result to poor sound quality. Outdoors, there are no walls or much surface for the sound waves to bounce on. Thus, it would be tougher to project good sound outside. To pick the right speakers for the outdoors, you should do your homework and research more about them.

The first thing to do before you go out and shop for outdoor speakers would be to determine what you really have in mind for your speakers. If you only want them for your talks or lectures over your audio source, you can do away without the use of subwoofers. However, if you want to use your speakers to get your groove on with lots of music from different genre, you should buy subwoofers with a complete frequency range appropriate for every genre.

There are also different types of speakers for outdoor usage. These are in-wall speakers, rock-looking speakers, patio speakers, and garden speakers. You should be able to choose from among these types of speakers by seeing which type fits your purpose the best. They all give off sound but their physical features differ.

In-wall speakers would need some mounting on a patio enclosure. The wires and cables that are to connect the speakers to indoor audio system would have to go underground. They still have good sound output because they can be placed in a wall cabinet to help project a richer sound to your outdoor parties, meetings or whatever purpose.

Garden speakers are fun to have around. Instead of seeing the usual and obvious forms of speakers in box forms, you may not be able to easily detect garden speakers. They are usually in the form of garden ornaments so they will easily blend with the outdoor environment. They can be in the shape of a plant vase or garden gnome but with speakers installed inside.

Rock speakers are still good for hiding the real speakers while outdoors. They are speakers inside an imitation of a small rock that you can put in an appropriate place in your house. There are many choices of rock shapes and color for these speakers too.

Patio speakers are just like the usual speakers that need to be covered, at least in the patio, because they are almost like the indoor speakers. They are still vulnerable to the outdoor elements. Aside from the similarity in the physical attributes to indoor speakers, these patio speakers also have the best sound projection among all the outdoor audio speakers.
