Outdoor Speaker

San Diego’s weather is getting warmer, which means it’s time to spend less time indoors and more time outdoors. And, nothing enhances an outdoor space like a great outdoor speaker, which is both loud enough to hear and durable enough to brave the elements of San Diego’s ocean air. Just imagine, you’re outside on a beautiful evening under the stars listening to you favorite music as you relax and unwind from a hard day.

So, what’s the best way to bring your favorite music outside? An outdoor speaker, but not just any outdoor speaker, it has to be the right outdoor speaker for your outdoor living space. That’s because depending on your outdoor environment, whether large or small, open or closed there is no one size fits all solution. That is, if you want to ensure even coverage and clear sound no matter where you are in your backyard.

Whether under eaves, around patios, near the swimming pool, or buried within the garden, making a seamless audio transition from the indoors to your outdoor space, starts with selecting the right outdoor speaker. With this in mind, we offer some insight on some things you need to consider.

Speaker type and placement is just as important outdoors as it is indoors. In fact, it is even more so outdoors. Just like outdoor speakers, backyards come in all shapes and sizes. Which is why the first thing you’ll want to consider is how you will be using the space. Think about where on the property will people be gathering. This step is crucial for determining optimal speaker placement as well as quantity needed. To figure this out, consider how much area needs to be covered (is it a small patio or deck, or do you have a large outdoor area with a pool and spa)? Important to make note of, you’ll also want to consider how close your property is to your neighbors, is there any concern about volume projection?

Do you have fountains, features, concrete pathways, trees, etc. that might be in the way of running speaker wire? Finally, you’ll want to consider whether you want your speakers in plain sight, or blended within the environment. Once you can answer these questions, it is easier to narrow down your outdoor speaker choices. Remember, the acoustic realities of an outdoor environment are drastically different than they are indoors. So, you will need enough oomph to overcome natural obstacles found outdoors, as well as an amplifier with sufficient wattage to power your outdoor speakers. That said here are the best outdoor speakers.
