Know before you buy
Yes, the Atrium5 speakers feature a rugged, all-weather construction and corrosion-resistant hardware specifically designed to withstand heavy rain and extreme environmental conditions.
The Speed-Lock bracket allows for a simple, one-handed installation. You mount the bracket to your surface first, then slide the speaker into place and lock it down, which makes positioning them in tight or elevated spaces much easier.
Yes, these are passive loudspeakers, meaning they require an external amplifier or receiver to power them. They are not self-powered or Bluetooth-enabled on their own.
Yes, the steeply-angled baffle design is specifically engineered to improve sound dispersion and projection, ensuring you get clear audio even when the speakers are mounted at varying heights.
While they are built with water-resistant materials and aluminum grilles, they are primarily designed for residential outdoor use like patios and sunrooms. If you are installing them on a boat, ensure they are placed in a location protected from direct, high-pressure spray.
