Garden Speakers

Weatherproof speakers are a long-requested item from customers throughout the electronic market and finally are accessible to the general public. Note that introducing passive garden speakers to your garden is simple to do and you can link speakers together using water-resistant speaker wire. This wire runs from the speakers to an all-in-one amplifier situated near a power source, this type of amp controls the volume and source of your audio playback.

When the weather gets warmer, many spend hours out in the garden enjoying the sunshine and making the most of their leisure time. Introducing some garden speakers to the garden will compliment sunbathing and many other garden activities such as badminton, trampolining or perhaps yoga. Link a smart device or another audio source with the amplifier and let the speakers soundtrack your spare time without worrying about running out of batteries on a lesser speaker.

Each with a solid, protective housing, the speaker units are designed to withstand threats from the weather to different degrees, varying on your personal preferences and budget. Not every garden is the same shape and size, so the proper placement of the speakers is important for audio balance, always ensure each speaker is an equal distance away from the next one in the network. Do not hesitate to call our sales team for some additional advice on this matter, they will guide you toward the most cost-effective result for your specific situation.

Weatherproof speakers

If you spend sunny days reading a good book in your back garden, hosting a get-together in the jacuzzi or even throwing a BBQ party for your family and friends. Weatherproof speakers allow audio playback from out in your garden, all while protecting the inner electronics against rainwater or snow for instance. You can enjoy your music while hiding the speakers from view, for example, amongst shrubbery and hedges, behind decking furniture, underground in some cases.

If the Great British summer ever rains on your parade, the BBQ may spoil but your garden installation speakers will remain in working order. Much of the modern outside speaker range have upper-grade IP Ratings (ingress protection) which minimises weather damage. Protecting the speaker driver and the electrical current within is perhaps the most important consideration when using garden speakers.

An IP rating is supplied with most electrical items and the protection is ascertained by the two digits of the rating itself, the left digit refers to solid states gaining access to the systems inner workings. The solid states in this instance are soil and general dust, the right digit of the rating represents the liquid ingress, a high right digit means the speaker is protected from the rain. Weatherproofing is of paramount importance during garden use, consider selecting an item with an advanced Ingress Protection (IP) rating.

Outside speakers

Playing music on some outside speakers as you catch up with friends and family is a great way to set the atmosphere for yourself and your guests. Having the volume control easily accessible from the amplifier, or better yet directly from your audio source, is helpful for get-togethers such as this. They often progress into the night, so again depending on your preferences you can decrease or indeed increase the volume accordingly.

Speakers hidden beneath the ground may naturally lose a few decibels of volume due to the soil, although these speakers are geared more toward background music for the garden. A quick fix is to set the volume a little higher than you usually would to compensate for potential volume loss, improving the quality of the heard sound as it rises toward the ear. If a particularly large party is being thrown, for instance over 15 people, consider giving the garden speaker network a break in favour of a larger PA system for better entertainment results.

Traditionally, garden speakers are meant for background music purposes, clearly audible but not enough to please a larger party such as this. Search for a garden speaker kit within the store to find a package with everything you need to DIY the network installation, we can advise you on this at your request. If DIY is not really your thing, any electrician should be able to assist you on this matter with ease, although if your garden is above average size, it could take a short while to do.

Can you use garden speakers indoors?

It is entirely possible to do this should you choose, they work in the same way as any other passive or installation speaker setup would. As long as the speaker network is connected to an amplifier to receive power there should be no problems. If you have seen some speakers that detail that they are garden specific, this likely only means that they are the most well protected from dust and moisture.

This would be more suited to a larger home or perhaps post-modern office spaces, a customer once used these garden speakers within a corporate office block that had a nature-themed garden break room. If the idea of bringing the outside-in to your home/office appeals to you and there is enough space for planters and similar decorations then we encourage your creativity. You may have seen some speakers designed for garden use that could work really well aesthetically indoors or maybe even in the conservatory/orangery.

See how much you can revolutionise your garden space with this speaker system, enjoy your leisure time in style and play some of the old favourites to guests. However you choose to implement your garden speakers, we are confident your decision will lead you to many summers of joy.
