Strategic Outdoor Speaker Placement
Great article that explains how to set up an outdoor speaker placement, although it's for inside it gives great ideas on placement basics
The instructions that come with your speakers will give you recommendation for where to place them within outdoor but below are a few things to consider as you begin setting up your new outdoor speakers.
Outdoor speakers have to be resilient. For starters, they will be exposed to the weather. Humidity and the cold weather can do damage to speakers if they are not built for the wide outdoors.
When selecting outdoor speakers, be sure to choose speakers that will provide enough bass for a satisfying listening experience.
Professional installers generally recommend it's always better to add more speakers than more power, when you have an oversized or a particularly large outdoor area.
Mounting the speakers higher: the sound travels farther, and the quality is better. You will get more sound projection the higher you mount your speakers which will extend the listening area. Most outdoor speakers include mounting brackets that allow you to adjust the tilt of the speaker.
Rectangular speaker boxes are best positioned near walls to maximize their bass output, because bass frequencies will dissipate quickly when there are no walls to reflect the sound off. The walls reflect the sound waves. When we listen to music inside, we hear a mix of direct and reflected sounds.
Outdoor speaker wire placement; first it is important how thick the wire is. Thicker wires are better conductors, thus more efficient. On the other hand, thicker wire is more expensive. Try not to run the wire through doors or windows, but through walls, in order to avoid accidents (a door-slam can damage the wire);
Wireless outdoor speaker placement; the first concern about wireless devices would be their range. To have a good estimate of the speaker's range, check its specifications. Some devices can go up to 300 feet in range. The longer the range, the better it performs.
Volume controls; provide volume controls for each listening area. Ideally, each listening area should be equipped with a way to adjust the volume. Individual zone volume controls are the best solution for large, single zone outdoor areas with multiple listening areas.
You'll likely want to add some means of remotely controlling the volume of your outdoor speakers as well as changing discs or programming either by using an infra-red repeater that leads to your main AV receiver, an RF remote, or with an externally mounted volume control. Weather-resistant external level controllers and keypads can be obtained from various suppliers. A convenient no-hassle alternative would be to purchase an RF (radio frequency) Remote Control whose signals go through the walls to your AV receiver. Be sure to try one out to check its usable range (with an option to return it if the range is too limited or iffy). Depending on the wall surfaces (concrete or brick, especially), the operating range of an RF remote may be quite limited.
Amplifier requirements; outdoor speakers have to work harder because they fire into infinite space, so if you plan on using the zone 2 outputs from your AV receiver or integrated amplifier to drive them, make certain the amplifiers have sufficient power output. As a party tempo increases, playback volume tends to rise, so an amplifier with at least 80 to 100 watts per channel should be considered. Don't use some ancient stereo receiver from the basement storage room with 20 or 30 watts per channel-- the power demands for outdoor playback will likely drive the amp into clipping and damage the speakers.
Now with proper outdoor speaker placement, the guests sitting at the table can enjoy music at a comfortable volume level, while everyone in the pool also gets just the right amount of sound. Everyone's happy and the party rocks. For more visit us
