NILES OS INDOOR/OUTDOOR LOUDSPEAKERS
The OS speakers from Niles are great for all occasions, both indoors and outdoors. What is different about the OS speaker is that Dual Voice Coils deliver both the left and right channels from one speaker, and the same happens for the high frequency sounds thanks to the Stereo Imaging Tweeter Array. These speakers deliver crisp, resonant sound with a powerful bass output, as well as an exceptional durability to all weather types. And Niles has such faith in the product that they offer a lifetime warranty.

BOSE 151 ENVIRONMENTAL SPEAKERS
Bose have a variety of impressive outdoor speakers, but our favourites are the 151 Environmental Speakers. Sleek but durable, the speakers are perfect for mounting on the wall overlooking your garden, overlooking the pool, and are even suitable for use on a boat. And with the adjustable mounting brackets, they can be hung both horizontally and vertically, making them adaptable to your environment. They come in white and black, and have a wider range than conventional outdoor speakers due to each speaker containing three 6.35cm full-range environmental drivers, known as Articular Array. This makes for a consistent stream of quality sound. The speakers also are weather resistant, designed to stand against snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 70ºC to -40ºC. And they come with a five year limited warranty, just in case you don’t have enough faith in them already.

DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY ALL-WEATHER LOUDSPEAKERS
Definitive Technology’s outdoor speakers are equally impressive. The AW6500 All-Weather loudspeakers are specifically designed to take into account the less-than-ideal acoustics of the outdoors – they are able to rotate 360 degrees so that the active drivers can be directed towards the listening area while the Low-Bass Radiator faces the wall or ground. This makes for an incomparable balance of clear mids, extended highs and booming bass. The AWs actually give you double the bass output while remaining completely weather-tight and reliable. Definitive Technology have created speakers that give you their incredible indoor sound and are suitable for the patio, deck, garden, or even the sauna.
