Know before you buy
The Axiom M3 (Outdoor) speakers are engineered specifically for outdoor environments and are fully waterproof. They are built to withstand exposure to the elements on decks, patios, and poolside areas without compromising internal components.
These speakers are highly versatile and can be installed on walls or ceilings. Their design allows for flexible placement to ensure you get the best sound coverage for your specific outdoor space.
The M3 (Outdoor) uses the same acoustic engineering as the indoor M3 model, meaning you get the same 'Canadian Sound'—characterized by openness and detail—rather than the muffled audio often found in outdoor speakers. The primary difference is the rugged, weather-resistant cabinet designed to protect the drivers from moisture.
These speakers have a sensitivity of 90 dB and are compatible with amplifiers ranging from 10 to 150 watts. A standard receiver or amplifier within this range will provide plenty of power to achieve clear, expansive sound.
With a 5.25-inch aluminum cone woofer and a frequency response down to 60 Hz, these speakers offer a balanced, natural sound. While they provide impressive clarity and midrange detail, they are designed for high-fidelity music reproduction rather than deep, subwoofer-level bass.
