How to Select the Perfect Outdoor Speakers
Outdoor speakers are one of the easiest ways to enhance your outdoor space and bring it to life. You don't need any expertise or complicated tools to set them up, as they come with everything you need to connect them to your radio or streaming device. However, there are many options out there that could give you difficulties when selecting the right ones for your needs. To avoid making costly mistakes, we've created this guide on how to select outdoor speakers to help you choose the right OWI Garden Speakers that are best suited to your outdoor lifestyle.
What Are Outdoor Speakers?
Unlike regular indoor speakers, outdoor speakers are made with weather-resistant materials that can withstand high winds, rain, and snow. They also typically have mounting features for easy installation and come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any space.
Outdoor speakers are great because they are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, and you can use them all year long, not just during the summer months. No matter where you live, it's important that you select outdoor speakers that can handle the weather, especially if your garden or patio is exposed to harsh winters and strong summer sun.
OWI's Garden "All-Weather" Speakers Collection
Available in two options, the oval LGS 100 & 170 Series and the octagonal LGS 400 & 470 Series, these all-weather speakers are made in the USA for everyone within and beyond our borders. Both options are perfect for gardens, patios, courtyards, pool areas, and even indoors.
The LGS 100 & 170 Series and the LGS 400 & 470 Series are available in either 8 ohms (100W maximum power), 70 volts (5W, 10W, 20W, 40W power selector), or dual voice coil models with a 6.5" speaker. The main difference between the LGS 100 and 400 series are the shapes, dimensions, and weight.
These garden speakers come with an integrated polyethylene enclosure which protects against damage by mosquitos, flies, bugs, and puppies and is lawnmower-proof. The enclosure protects the garden speaker from UV light, so you can relax without any worries about sunning damage. This polyethylene enclosure is also built to withstand about 250 pounds of standing weight, adding to its other unique damage-resistance features. You can get all LGS Series garden speakers in a color that seamlessly blends with your outdoors, ranging from dark grey, granite, multi-tone green, and sandstone.
The 360 degrees of full-range sound by these outdoor speakers ensures that clear sound is delivered all around, so you can enjoy your favorite song from any point. They also come with secure mounting hardware that's easy to install, protecting the speakers from vandalism. Best of all, they are backed by a five-year warranty because OWI is dedicated to providing quality products that exceed expectations.
Choosing an Outdoor Speaker
Choosing the right speaker for your needs is a decision that you don't want to make hastily. We're here to help guide you through it. It's important that you consider all of your options, so we've laid out some important questions for you:
- What will be used in conjunction with the speakers?
- How many watts do you need?
- What distance are they from your listening position?
- Where will they be installed?
- What's your budget?
These questions should allow you to better understand what kind of outdoor speaker is best for you and your situation. Once you have an idea of what you need, you can narrow down the search by factoring these considerations: Wattage, frequency response range, size, and weight. There are a lot of other factors like sound clarity or sound quality; however, this list covers most people's priorities when looking for outdoor speakers.
Some additional considerations include whether or not you need waterproof, weatherproof and/or UV-resistant speakers. If you are planning on using your outdoor speakers in a pool area or near water, then you will want waterproof and/or weatherproof speakers. Also, if you live in an area with a lot of UV radiation, then it is important to choose outdoor speakers that are UV resistant.
Many times, manufacturers will offer different versions of their speakers. These versions often offer different features and come at different price points depending on what they have to offer. In order to get the most bang for your buck, make sure you understand how each version differs from another before you decide which one is right for you.
There are typically three versions of speakers available: a standard version, a high-performance version, and a premium model that has all the features of the other two combined. LGS does its best to save you money by having most of these critical features in all its models, therefore creating very slim differences in price points between any series.
What Are the Benefits of Having All-Weather Speakers?
Choosing outdoor speakers for your home or business can be a challenging task. There are many different factors that go into making a decision, from where you live, to how often you'll use them and what kind of space they will fill.
One factor that is often overlooked is whether or not you want speakers with an all-weather design. With our all-weather garden speakers, you'll never have to worry about moisture damaging your sound system again. No matter what the weather does, these speakers will keep on playing your favorite music and podcasts until you're ready to turn them off.
