Different Details About Waterproof Speakers

By Patty Goff


When anything is waterproof, it means it will work in spite of the amount of water that is thrown at it. This is even amidst temporary sinking. The feature depends not on both depth of water and also the time. The speakers are valuable for boaters that are usually expected to stay close to a lot of water for lengthy periods of time. When looking for waterproof speakers it is important to understand their various features and benefits.

They can be divided into four main categories. These are dual cone, coaxial, component and sub-woofer speakers. Dual cone versions have a single driver but at the same time make use of two cones which come in small and large sizes. The larger cone is designed for mid-range and low frequencies, with the smaller one being used for higher frequencies. Despite the fact that they work fairly well, they cannot handle a broad spectrum of sound frequencies.

Also known as 2 or 3 way speakers, the coaxial speaker makes use of multiple drivers to handle varying frequencies. The term coaxial implies that one speaker is wrapped around the other. The tweeter handles the higher frequencies. It is situated at the middle section of the speaker, and then surrounded by a woofer. The coaxial speaker performs better than the dual cone version.

A component speaker is more than just a speaker. It has the configuration set such that low and high frequencies get handled separately by different speaker systems. Through crossover, frequencies get divided electronically such that every speaker produces its own frequency quota. By so doing, the production of sound is enhanced.

Sub-woofers are designed to only set bass frequencies. In reality, they are normally designed for production of heavy sounds that are thunder-like. Whether or not to use them is the decision of the individual since the other versions are able to produce equal quality of sound as them. Some tips will come in handy for those that are considering doing a purchase. One of the most important considerations is the cutout size. This is especially so if an already existing speaker is to be replaced by a new one. It will enable the individual to make the right decision during purchase.

In case there is to be installation of the new speaker, it is important to measure the new area so that there is an idea of where it is to be placed. The fact that large speakers tend to produce better sounds means that one needs to find ample space. Also important is the depth of the space that is behind the speaker that should be enough so that cooling is enabled. Without cooling, there will be the risk of the cables melting.

The speaker quality is a very important consideration too. Quality is dependent on range of frequency of sound it can produce. For instance, there is the difference between telephone speakers and stereo versions.

The installation process is very important. One can decide to do it individually or employ the services of professionals. With wireless versions coming into the market, people that want to use their speakers in the garden have convenient options.
