Frequently Asked Questions
Should Theater Solutions TS425ODB outdoor speakers be covered?
They will need some protection because many outdoor speakers are weather- resistant rather than waterproof. Are your eaves in close proximity to the deck or the ground? Install speakers underground to shield them from the elements. Mount them no higher than 10 feet above the listening area, though.
How high should outdoor speakers be mounted?
According to audio experts, it’s preferable to put outside speakers about ten feet high and ten feet apart, slanted slightly downward, for the best audio quality. Make sure to calculate your speaker wire requirements accurately to avoid running more than is necessary. Extra cable degrades the sound’s quality.
How long do outdoor speakers last?
If they are properly cared for and maintained, outdoor speakers may often last up to ten years. The temperature and humidity of the environment, sunlight exposure, closeness to water (including swimming pools), owner maintenance, and the calibre of the wiring, mounting hardware, and weatherproof sealing all have an impact on how long outdoor speakers last.
How do you protect outdoor speakers?
Keep them away from water and the sun. In inclement weather, when it is impractical to bring them inside, cover them. inspect mounting hardware frequently. Regularly inspect the wiring. Always keep your speakers clean.
How do Theater Solutions TS425ODB outdoor speakers get power?
Practically any amplifier, from a small, affordable stereo amp like the Lepai LP-2020TI to a potent multichannel amp made for multiroom audio systems, can power these speakers.
How do you Theater Solutions TS425ODB weatherproof indoor speakers?
Applying a high gloss polymer finish to your speakers is the simplest and least expensive way to waterproof them. Usually, a polymer varnish or a polyurethane spray is used as the coating; however, the polyurethane spray is only utilitarian and has no aesthetic value.
How do you aim outdoor speakers?
Attempt to direct each speaker toward a hub where the best sound will converge. Two speakers should be sufficient in a room between 200 and 400 square feet. Use four, six, or however many are necessary to cover a larger area.
What size of wire do I need for outdoor speakers?
Consider that the larger the number, the thinner the wire and the shorter the run, when referring to wire gauge. For distances of up to 80 feet, use 16-gauge wire. Increase to 14-gauge wire for runs between 80 and 200 feet. Choose 12-gauge wire if you intend to extend further than 200 feet.
How many speakers do I need for patio?
One pair of outdoor speakers should be used to cover an outside space between 200 and 400 square feet, which translates to a patio or deck size around 20 × 20 feet. This recommendation comes from professional installers.
Where should Theater Solutions TS425ODB outdoor speakers be placed?
Any outdoor speaker will inevitably be exposed to external factors like rain, thunderstorms, erosion, and sunlight. It is usually preferable to think about positioning your speakers under the eaves of your home, where the overhang will protect them from these environmental conditions in part.
How do I connect outdoor speakers to my TV?
Connect the audio input of the outdoor speaker receiver to the TV’s audio output using an RCA wire. Simply match the RCA cable’s colour to the port’s colour to use it. An longer RCA cable might be useful if the TV and outdoor speaker receiver are separated by a significant distance. Select a programme to watch and turn the TV on.
Can Theater Solutions TS425ODB outdoor speakers get wet?
Although they are designed expressly to withstand the elements, weatherproof speakers are only water resistant, not waterproof. Weatherproof speakers should be fine when exposed to moisture, steam, rain, or sprinklers.
Do you have to have a receiver for outdoor speakers?
Depending on the speaker type, outdoor speakers may or may not require a receiver. An amplifier is already present in active speakers. An audio source and power source are the only things needed for operation. Passive speakers need external amplification, typically from an audio-video receiver, because they lack an internal amplifier.
What is a good frequency response for outdoor speakers?
If the frequency range is between 20Hz and 20kHz (audible frequencies) and the frequency response graph closely resembles the ideal frequency response curve (flat curve), even with regular variations, most excellent speakers will provide high-quality sound.
Do Theater Solutions TS425ODB outdoor speakers need power?
The majority of outdoor speakers are passive devices, which means they will require power because they lack built-in amplification.
