Editorial Review
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.

Here is what people are saying about the Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speaker (Pair)
5 Star Rating  "Stunned"2009-11-07
- Reviewed By User: A2MP1N5P1BDQ82
I put a pair of these on my back deck, and connected it to my Yamaha RX-V3900's second zone. I was absolutely blown away - and so were the rest of my friends. I'm no audiophile, but I am a music lover. The sound is warm and full. Absolutely do not hesitate to buy these speakers! I also have the suggested in-wall speakers in a 5.1 surround sound setup in my living room - another fantastic performer!

I actually used these speakers inside because I needed something in white. They have good sound quality. I added a subwoofer and it is impressive.

The price tag was great for the average sound. I saved $100+ buying them through Amazon. We live on the ocean and plan to replace them every couple years.

I bought these speakers in an effort to expand the coverage of my existing outdoor sound setup. I had two Insignia speakers which were very inexpensive so I hoped to improve the total sound. Overall I would say they were about the same as the much less expensive Insignia speakers. Not much bass, highs were not as clear as I expected, easy to overdrive. I will be moving them to a small outdoor room where I hope they are not as stressed. They look good, are easy to install and seem high quality. Just wish they sounded better.

Using the Polk Audio Atrium 55 outside by pool. Great sound, projection and bass. I have really cranked them up at times and they have had no problem handling the volume.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great Speakers and Great Price on Amazon"2009-08-23
- Reviewed By User: A2XO030RSL9J6W
I've seen these speakers for $200 to $250 in 'brick in mortar' stores, so they were a steal at Amazon's price.

They were easy to install and sound great. I've seen others complaining about a lack of bass, but I personally do not have that problem. Sound carries differently outside, and without walls and other hard objects to 'bounce' off of speakers are going to sound differently outdoors. Placement of the speakers will also determine how they sound. For example, placing them up high near a ceiling will help give more bass.

Some outdoors speakers sound 'hollow', and are not capable of delivering a decent range for outdoor music listening. A song like 'Adagio In D Minor' still sounds good, and any speaker that can solidly reproduce the sounds on 'Adagio In D Minor' is okay in my book. These speakers sound great, and I think they are the best speakers you can buy at this price point.

Sure, you could jump into the $200+ range (on Amazon) for better sounding outdoor speakers, but unless you are a serious audiophile I wouldn't recommend spending the extra cash.
