Outdoor Speaker Recommendations

[Jobos]

Right, the HT has bought a very old Keytronics CD player for students to use over lunch times. The CD player is stored in a log cabin AKA the shed which has power and when bought it came with a pair of speakers. Each speaker has 2 x 7" drivers and a tweeter so can be quite loud but I have no idea what output power the amp is.

 

Now the HT wants speakers fitted outside so music can be played in wet weather but there seems limited weather proof speakers around that would be powerful enough to handle the amp.

 

Any ideas where I can get large outdoor speakers from?

Plenty of high powered/high power handling outdoor speakers available - many of the ones used at large venues and concerts are suitable for this after all. Budget is the question there! Will the students be able to adjust the level?

This is a primary so the lunch time staff should be doing it but chances are students will get a go too.

Use Wharfedale Titan passives here, waterproof, cheap and sound good.

 

I'd recommend the 15" ones: https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Wharfedale-Pro-Titan-15-Passive-PA-Speaker-White/22CJ

Thanks, plenty of choice on that site

I'd have a look at EV Evid - installed them in the beer garden of a club a few years back and still going strong.
