Know before you buy
The Atrium6 speakers are built with an all-weather enclosure designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including direct exposure to rain and moisture. They meet military-grade specifications for durability, making them suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
The included mounting bracket is designed for versatility, allowing you to install the speakers either vertically or horizontally. This flexibility helps you achieve the best sound dispersion for your specific patio or deck layout.
These speakers are compatible with any standard home receiver or amplifier that provides between 10 and 100 watts of power per channel. Since they have an 8-ohm impedance, they will work easily with most mainstream audio equipment.
While they won't replace a dedicated subwoofer, the integrated PowerPort technology significantly enhances bass response compared to standard outdoor speakers. It helps direct airflow to minimize turbulence, resulting in cleaner, deeper low-end performance even in open outdoor spaces.
The speakers feature a one-handed mounting system that simplifies the process significantly. Once the bracket is secured to your wall, you can easily lock the speaker into place and adjust the angle without needing complex tools or assistance.
