What Are Wall mount outdoor speakers? these outdoor speakers are completely enclosed with a mounting bracket to attach to a flat surface. Wall mount outdoor speakers are great for mounting to the house, shed or other flat surface. Most surface mount speakers are passive and will need to receive an amplified signal. This is achieved by running a speaker wire from your receiver or amplifier to the outdoor speaker. Make sure the polarity of the wires (positive to positive and negative to negative) are connected properly for the best experience. Reversing these will cause lack of bass with poor overall sound quality and possible distortion.
How to choose and care for Wall Mount outdoor speakers? Very similar to indoor bookshelf speakers but with the added benefit of being weatherproof. Because they are completely enclosed the mid driver and tweeter are properly tuned to the enclosure for maximum performance. These speakers are design to be left outside all year round, but we recommend bringing them in during the harsher months. It is extremely easy to remove the speaker from the surface mount bracket to store indoors, just make sure you label the speaker wires before disconnecting. You can also cap the outdoor speaker wires (separately) if they will be exposed to the elements. Although these speakers are weatherproof you will still want to protect them as much as possible. Pointing the speakers down will keep direct sunlight off the speaker surface and rubber surround. The sun can dry these components out over time depending on how long they are exposed. Water can also enter or collect on different parts of the speaker which can also be avoided when aimed down during installation. You should also do some research and make sure the brand you are purchasing come from a reputable manufacturer. Some of the less expensive models do not have a rust proof grill and will disappoint after a season or two. This is especially important if you live near the ocean where salty air is an issue.
Surface mount outdoor speakers come in many different sizes and can usually be painted to match the exterior of your home. Larger speakers with an 8” driver will deliver lower frequencies giving your outdoor sound much more depth and emotion. You will not have the same rich experience with 4”, 5” or 6” speakers. When planning on outdoor speaker location you will want to place them evenly to obtain a uniform sound field. We have all been somewhere, where the speakers were to loud in one location and too low in another. To have optimal sound around an area you should space the spears 1 foot apart for every inch of the speaker. So if you have a 6” speaker they will approximately cover a 6 foot area, so your next speaker should be mounted approximately 12 feet away (6 feet around each speaker). Because outdoor speakers are completely enclosed, they are a directional speaker. Directional meaning whichever way point them will be the direction the sound travels. You may want to consider and outdoor subwoofer if your using smaller speakers. You can read more about outdoor subwoofers here.
