Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of leaving the door open to hear your music on the deck? It's time for a pair of high-quality outdoor speakers like the Atrium 45 from Polk Audio. The speakers each feature all-stainless-steel and brass hardware for years of rustproof reliability and a rustproof aluminum bracket that permits multiple mounting options and full 90 degree rotation: you can aim them to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of positions.

The Atrium 45 speakers have a wide dispersion pattern, and they're very efficient, operating on as little as 10 watts per channel. They're designed to deliver good sound quality across a large listening area, but Polk recommends multiple-pair setups if you want high sound levels in an outdoor setting, as sound tends to dissipate more quickly outdoors than in.

The speakers' white finish is paintable to match your decor or trim color--you can even paint them green to blend with foliage. Their sculpted front baffle and rounded enclosures minimize diffraction (sound reflecting off of hard edges) for more open and lifelike imaging, and their rustproof aluminum grilles offer 55 percent open area for better high-frequency response than speakers with denser grilles.

Sealed-enclosure (acoustic suspension) cabinets result in taut bass, and the speakers' 2-way design incorporates a 4.5-inch long-throw polymer cone driver with butyl-rubber suspension and a .75-inch dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet to broadly distribute high frequencies. Gold-plated, 5-way binding post terminals will never corrode. The plugs also allow hookups in a range of methods, including convenient banana-plug-terminated speaker cable.

The Atrium 45 meets or exceeds ASTM D5894-UV Salt Fog, Mil standard 810 Immersion and Mil standard 883 Method 1009 8 for salt and corrosion tests.

What's in the Box
Two speakers (each with detachable metal grille and built-in mounting bracket) a user's manual, and warranty information.

5 out of 5 stars Great outdoor speakers, nice to paint   December 4, 2008
I bought 5 pairs of these for various outdoor areas around my rambling house; the sound is just terrific, no complaints, and I'm pretty picky. Clear and crisp, even at a high volume. The design is nice, simple, quality; great connectors, sturdy brackets; was easy to attach them and wiring was a breeze.

I painted all 10 speakers an oregano (dull green) color, using satin finish spray paint, and they blend in great with my house color now, and don't stand out like they would if they were white or black, which is terrific. The painting is a bit of a pain in the butt, but it was worth the trouble to take the time to do it right. I loved being able to customize them.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent speakers...somewhat directional   November 26, 2008
Excellent speakers, a lot of quality for the price. They are quite directional, so you have to be aware of the listening positions when mounting. Able to handle robust sound level and a fair amount of bass boost.


4 out of 5 stars Great little speakers   October 14, 2008
These are great little speakers. They appear very well made and were easy to install. Sound quality is excellent although as noted by some other reviewers they might be a little bright for certain tastes. I did not want thumping bass outside, just good clear vocals. These speakers certainly deliver.

these speakers have a great sound, but my experience is they don't last in the weather, I had to replace both speakers over a period of 2 years


5 out of 5 stars another great speaker via Polk   October 6, 2008
Own several Polk speakers and love them all.

Mounting bracket is sturdy and well designed to hold speaker in any position. Good job Polk!
