There are a lot of "weatherproof" loudspeakers on the market -
what makes OutdoorSound's products different?

OutdoorSound features Technomad loudspeakers, the brand-of-choice for the White House (Presidential Sound System), all branches of the US armed forces, the Caramoor Center for the Arts, Club Med, Universal Studios, Princess Cruise Lines, and many others. Technomad products incorporate many unique features, such as thick, rotationally molded cabinets, a three-layer chemically-treated WeatherTech™ grill system, self-draining design, horn-loaded ceramic high-frequency drivers and custom manufactured poly-cone bass drivers, many threaded inserts for easy mounting, robust crossover networks, weatherproof electronics, all stainless steel metalwork, and much more.  The result? No other loudspeakers come close to the combination of sound quality, performance, and reliability provided by Technomad.

Don't you give up sound quality when you make a loudspeaker weatherproof?
Unlike traditional "weather-resistant" designs, which are really just modified versions of non-weatherproof products, Technomad loudspeakers are designed from the start to be fully weatherproof. This means that the transducers, crossover network, and three-layer grill were designed as a coherent system. The result - a true high-fidelity loudspeaker system that sacrifices nothing to achieve unmatched reliability indoors or out.

Where are your loudspeakers manufactured?

How can I attach the loudspeakers to my house / boat / swimming pool etc?
All OutdoorSound loudspeakers have optional multi-position mounting brackets which allow you to securely bolt the loudspeaker to a wall, ceiling, pole, or other appropriate structure.  These wallmounts allow you to easily adjust the angle and orientation of the loudspeaker.  For more information on wallmounts, click here

I need loudspeakers for my:

Application Recommended Basic Loudspeaker Next Larger Model
backyard / patio / garden Vernal 15 Vienna 16 (to cover a larger area or for more volume)

swimming pool Vernal 15 Vienna 16 (for larger pools)

Please note that selecting the correct loudspeaker depends greatly on the size of the area to be covered, music type, desired loudness, and other factors.  For many people, a pair of Vernal 15 loudspeakers is a great choice... click here to order.

Can I install these loudspeakers underwater?
OutdoorSound loudspeakers are not intended for use underwater.  They are designed to withstand extreme rain, snow, sleet, and other precipitation, but they will be damaged if they are completely immersed.

Is my amplifier powerful enough to drive these loudspeakers?
Our loudspeakers are very efficient, so you can drive them with amplifiers as small as 5 watts per channel. That said, here are the recommended power ranges for each loudspeaker model to achieve maximum performance.  Note that the maximum recommended amplifier wattage (per channel) is higher that the continuous power rating of the loudspeaker - this is not a mistake!  It is considered good sound system design to slightly "oversize" your amplifier so it is operating without strain. This prevents signal distortion which can cause loudspeaker damage.  If you need an amplifier, we offer two models for sale.

Loudspeaker Amplifier power range (per channel, into 8 ohms)
Vernal 15 5-80 watts
Vienna 16 5-160 watts
Paris 616 5-230 watts
