Custom Install and Outdoor
About Custom Install Speakers
A traditional speaker works as a total unit balancing their speaker drive unit(s), cross-over electronics and cabinet to offer the best 'in-room' sound reproduction. A custom speaker (flush mounted in-wall or in-ceiling) is designed to be discrete and therefore having no (visible) cabinet and a discrete cosmetic design has specific challenges (heat and moisture among others) to overcome to ensure the best sound quality and a long life.
A good custom speaker is made of materials that offer high power handling, smooth audio response and extended bandwidth (good highs and lows). Low resonance and low distortion along with a tweeter which can be aimed towards the listener’s position are also beneficial features.
Some speakers are designed to be aimed towards the listener which is great for Home Theatre applications - also useful for unique interior applications such as vaulted ceiling designs.
One of the primary reasons for their existence, is custom speakers are by design visibly discrete. Many manufacturers approach the industrial design to hide, as much as possible the speaker's location once installed. There are varying degrees of aesthetic subtly with the bezel (surrounding frame) and grill design becoming more and more discrete as the level (and price) increases. Some can be painted to colour-match the interior design.
Outdoor Speakers
If you want to enjoy great, immersive sound on a deck or porch, or in a small backyard all year round, stereo outdoor speakers are a great option. Outdoor stereo speakers are similar to indoor speakers, with two big differences:
They can stand up to the elements, withstanding our New Zealand 'four seasons in one day' and harsh UV rays.
