Best Outdoor Speaker System

 

 

Looking for the Best Outdoor Speaker System for your deck or back yard?  Indoor and outdoor speakers do have different technologies.  Outdoor speakers do not have walls to bounce sound off of, if you use your indoor speakers outside you will not get the same sound quality as you would on the inside.  The ability to handle the outdoor weather, insects or other outdoor pest and sound quality are a reason to look at outdoor speakers for your patio.

If you want the sound of a outdoor water feature, but not the mess to clean and maintain, an outdoor speaker will give you this feature.  The sound can be set any where you are outside and can be hidden in your outdoor space.

Bluetooth technology is coming to the back yard.  Some sound systems will take input from Bluetooth devices.  Input devices can vary from system to system.  Some systems can hookup to you home Wi-Fi net work and stream music from the internet.

The Speaker setup for outdoors is different than that of a room with walls.  The indoor speakers are made to have the sound bounce off of the walls to make the premium sound that you hear.  Outside speakers must be built to have direct sound and it will make a difference in the quality of the sound that you hear.

Most speakers are Weather proof. They can take the heat, cold, rain and snow, they cannot take direct contact with water or be in standing water.  Wired speakers must be connected to a source of music, they do not have to have a power source.

Some sets can be painted to match your decor.  Others that look like rocks can blend in with your environment without any changes.  Some speakers can be planted in the ground with only the top showing.

Wireless or cordless speakers have a transmitter that will take inputs from 3.5 mm, Bluetooth device and RCA jacks.  This will allow you to use most of your modern devices for a music source.

Most use Bluetooth 900 MHz technology.  They can transmit 150 to 300 feet through walls and other objects.  You do not have to run speaker wire from your sound source to the speakers.

Most speakers of this type work off of a power supply or batteries.  Cordless means you will have the ability to move the speaker system anywhere in your outdoor space without having a line hooked to the music source.  You will have to have a power supply for the speakers for the receiver to work. Most have dual power of a 110 volt transformer to a lower voltage and have either rechargeable or regular battery power.
