Placement Tips for Above Ground Pool Speakers

Outdoor spaces come with difficult sonic conditions and this is the main reason why music can sound really diluted and thin in such an environment. In order to provide your swimming pool area with a full-bodied and warm sound, you will have to choose outdoor speakers that come with a very good low-frequency response - for instance, 60Hz or below is enough in order to provide your swimming pool area with enough bass and have a quite satisfying listening experience.

When looking for a pair of outdoor speakers for your swimming pool, you must consider their durability before purchasing them. Even if most outdoor speakers are likely to be weather resistant, you should make sure that you choose speakers that have been tested under extreme environmental conditions. Outdoor speakers should be installed in covered areas in order to prolog their lifespan. Additionally, you should pay attention to the following placement tips in order to get the best out of your outdoor sound speakers and increase their performance.

  • First, the higher you are going to mount the outdoor speakers in your swimming pool area, the greater your sound projection. Next, you should place your outdoor speaker approx.11-12 feet from your listening area and 7-9 feet apart from one another in order to get the best out of their performance.

  • Also, you must make sure that you place your outdoor speaker right near a solid surface in order to improve the bass output. Another useful placement tip is alternating between right- and left-channels if you are planning to mount more than 2 outdoor speakers on the same wall. By doing this, you will be provided with a stereo sound on your swimming pool area.

  • If you are planning to have 4 speakers mounted on your square deck by having one of them in each corner, you should mount the 2 left-channel ones in the opposite corners and the 2 right-channel ones in the other opposite corners.
  • Keep in mind that you basically want your outdoor speakers to keep on alternating between right and left channels in order to get the best stereo sound in any location of your swimming pool area. If you think that your speakers do not provide sufficient sound coverage, you should go for more speakers instead of getting more volume for the existing ones.
  • For instance, if you cannot hear the sounds emitted by the outdoor speakers mounted to a house wall and directed towards your pool, you should definitely add more speakers and place them closer to your swimming pool area. Keep in mind to experiment with placement before mounting your outdoor speakers for good. Once you have found a satisfactory location that will allow your speakers to provide great sounds, it’s time for you to mount them on that particular location.
