The Polk Audio Atrium 6 Outdoor Speakers are a great choice for those looking for durable and high-quality speakers for their outdoor space. With 5.25" Dynamic Balance drivers and 1" dome tweeters, these speakers provide a wide sound dispersion and surprisingly powerful bass. The patented water-resistant PowerPort bass venting ensures deep, extended bass impact while minimizing distortion. The broad coverage baffle design fills large outdoor spaces with full-range sound without sacrificing detail. The aluminum grilles and bracket with stainless steel and brass hardware ensure that these speakers will withstand extreme temperatures and heavy rain year after year. The one-click speed-lock mounting bracket allows for easy, anti-slip one-handed installation, and the speakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally for the best sound in any situation.
