Why get outdoor speakers?
Designed for the elements
Outdoor speakers are engineered to survive what indoor speakers can’t - rain, dust, sun exposure, and temperature swings. Unlike standard home speakers, they use weather-resistant materials and sealed enclosures to keep the elements out without sacrificing audio performance.
Fill your space with sound
Outdoor gatherings often suffer from uneven sound coverage - where music is too loud in one spot and barely audible in another, ruining the experience. The DALI GARDIAN OW 6 uses advanced coaxial driver design and wide sound dispersion to deliver consistent, balanced audio throughout your entire outdoor area. This means every guest enjoys clear, distortion-free sound no matter where they are, transforming your patio or garden into an immersive audio environment that enhances every moment.
Set the mood
It’s tough to create the right ambiance outdoors when your audio options are limited to a single volume setting or bulky, unsightly speakers. Outdoor speakers like the GARDIAN OW 6 offer versatile sound settings and seamless multi-zone integration, allowing you to easily switch between subtle background tunes and powerful stereo sound. With this flexibility, you can effortlessly craft the perfect atmosphere - whether it’s a relaxed dinner party or a barbecue with friends - taking your outdoor living experience to the next level.
What to consider when choosing outdoor speakers
Weather resistance
Look for IP ratings that guarantee dust and water protection. An IP67 rating (like the DALI GARDIAN OW 6) ensures total dust protection and resistance to immersion in water - a major plus for coastal homes or exposed patios.
Mounting and flexibility
Outdoor layouts vary, so choose a speaker with flexible mounting options and adjustable angles for accurate coverage - especially in asymmetrical or multi-use spaces.
Sound quality
Outdoor speakers need to sound great without relying on the acoustics of an enclosed room. Look for features like coaxial driver alignment, wide dispersion, and enhanced bass performance to ensure consistent, balanced audio across open spaces.
Durability and maintenance
Your speakers will face wind, UV, temperature swings, and potentially salty or chlorinated air. Go for speakers with robust enclosures, corrosion-resistant parts, and washable surfaces for long-term reliability.
