Practical Tips To Maintain Landscape Speakers

By Lois Gordon


Landscape speakers are typically engineered for outdoors and for wet and moist surroundings and hence waterproof. Their basic function is to scatter a 360 degree seamless sound in wide areas such as gardens and parks. They come in various designs and shapes. Commonly used are the garden types.

Most are meant to be installed for a semi or fixed outdoor purpose. These are exposed to environmental hazards and elements. They cost money and as such, appropriate installation, care and maintenance are vital to prolong its lifespan.

When installing, mind to choose a smoother surface to minimize or avoid vibration. If they are to driven to ground, choose areas where water does not stagnate. Wires or cords must be routed in proper way. Otherwise, these may be pulled, or pinched or cause accidental tripping. It may be wise to opt for installation service from the unit seller, or hire a master electrician to install. Post installation waterproofing is necessary.

These types can be installed in several manners. They could be driven straight in the ground, fastened to a concrete, attached to a wood, and other kinds of surfaces. Available models vary and so do their costs, installation, care, and maintenance.

Speaker installations must be as precise as per product instruction as nearly as possible. Good sound quality results by following installation specification such as required distances between the amplifier or receiver to the position of the speakers. External materials necessary for complete installation such as cords, wiring, sealant, bracket or protective coating should be in accordance to suggested specifications from the manufacturer.

Landscape speakers need cleaning at given intervals. Typically, they consist of many parts. Some are tiny and delicate to handle. These should be handled with great care. A damp cloth soaked in mild detergent is usually sufficient to remove dust or dirt from the outside. Alternatively, using fresh water, a pressure controlled hose can be used. Too much water pressure may damage its grill, driver, or its acoustic port. landscape speakers
