Atrium 8 Outdoor Speaker with Powerful Bass (Each, White), All-Weather Durability, Broad Sound Coverage, Speed-Lock Mounting System

Great at price sale. Im a speaker freak, amazing sound and quality. Enjoy

I bought a **pair of Polk Audio Atrium 8 SDI speakers** for my **back patio expansion**, and they have been **nothing short of incredible**! The **beautiful design** blends seamlessly with my outdoor space, and they are built to withstand the elements. I paired these with a **SunFire amp**, and the **sound quality is simply awesome**—rich, clear, and powerful, even in an open outdoor environment. Mounting was **easy**, and the build quality feels **top-notch**, exactly what I expect from Polk Audio. I’ve been a **Polk Audio fan for almost 40 years**, and their **reputation for quality and durability** is well-earned. I still have an **older set in my garage that’s over 20 years old**, and they still sound fantastic—**which is exactly why I chose Polk again**! If you're looking for **high-quality outdoor speakers** that will last, these are a no-brainer. **Highly recommend!** 🎶🔥

Put one in bathroom above shower. The sound imaging is great. Very happy with it

I purchased these as replacements for outdoor speakers that were installed on a new-to-us house, but that were no longer working. I bought the white version, and they compliment our home's exterior trim color nicely. Installation was a breeze -- each speaker is bolted to the house with two wood bolts, then attach the wire, and that's all there is to it. In my case, I am using a dedicated "left" and "right" speaker setup, so I cannot address how well these work when they are wired with both left and right speaker wires. I can say that you need to slide the switch/contact cover over on the back of the speaker if you are wiring them as "left" or "right" like you would for normal speakers, or else the sound is quite a bit softer. This makes more sense when you look at the unit itself--but there are two ways to wire each speaker, so follow the directions for your application and you'll be fine. As you'd expect, there is not a ton of bass to these speakers, however when connected to a home-owner quality sound system (Sony), they sound quite good as an external speaker, and better than ones that we had at our previous house. I'm hopeful that I can get at least 5 solid years out of these speakers in order to justify the price. We'll see how that works out, but I think Polk quality is quite good for my purposes, and I have confidence that it has been money well spent.

I installed this speaker on my deck, where I do not need (or want to spend the money on) truly high quality sound, like I have inside. For what it is --faux stereo from a single speaker-- I am very happy with the sound. If for any reason the speaker called attention to something off in the sound, I would return it, but it's totally, pleasantly listenable. Before I bought this, I was tempted to get a pair of mid-level (you can always spend tons more) outdoor Cambridge speakers on sale at my favorite quality audio store -Audio Advice- but decided to save my money. They may well have been five stars for me (for an outdoor speaker). Five stars would have to be richer, with better separation and range; these lack depth for soft classical, jazz, and some acoustic, but are very good for more robust folk, rock, bluegrass and jazz (so there's my tastes). A professional (and honest) DJ friend liked the sound! Some reviews comment on lack of bass, but I found it to be fine. I did turn bass up two notches on the receiver, but I prefer blend/balance - I don't really like heavy booming bass, if you do, you won't get it from this. Installation is easy. I drilled the hole for the speaker wires from inside two inches from a known stud, so I could easily locate the stud from the outside to install the bracket for this heavy speaker. I bought an inexpensive receiver (Sony STRDH190) for this speakers/location, and again not demanding or expecting too much, the speakers do fine with this (whether playing via wired AUX/inputs, bluetooth, CD or better quality streamed on wifi with a Chromecast audio, and FM). It's under an eave so will never experience direct rain or snow. I will update this with info about longevity someday. It's just fine still after a hot summer.

Having just moved to a very old house in a downtown area, I tried pretty much everything to meet my reclusive neighbors... After waving, smiling, offering brownies, and doing good other neighborly deeds such as picking up their dog's poop for them when the dog poops in my front yard (without waving a finger...), I decided that my next salvo towards obtaining a friendly relationship with these reclusive nutjobs was to add audio to my front porch. After doing some research online and visiting my local Best Buy (only to find that there really is no audio section in a Best Buy anymore), I decided to go with Polk Audio based on a good experience I'd had with their indoor speakers. And to make sure that my efforts to establish and maintain a friendship with my neighbors would go un-noticed, I decided on the Atrium 8 speakers, the largest in the Polk Audio Atrium lineup. And these speakers are large. Probably the largest enclosed box speakers that can be installed by a single person as limited by OSHA if they ever decided to get into the business of regulating the safety of DIY consumers. Yea, they're large, but surprisingly manageable from an installation standpoint. The most difficult task you'll likely have is running the speakerwire to where you want to place these outdoors (I had to get creative and go thru the porch ceiling on my 90+ year old brick home. But once the wire is run, just follow the instructions, mount the bracket, and the speaker slides into place, then you can secure it and it's position via the two screw-like fastening cap thingies. So installation took me an hour on a Saturday, and then I started playing some music whilst sitting on my porch, drinking some wine....all afternoon. The superior sound coming from the Polk Atrium 8's did the trick. No matter what I played, neighbor after neighbor came by either to admire or request to hear a specific song whilst gardening. Even the neighbor with the dog decided to pick up the poop this time around. People walking down my street towards the downtown area would smile and dance. And, as the Polk Audio Atrium 8s continued to crank out the tunes through the evening, my porch was visited by several aliens, the ghost of James Brown, and a congressman stopped by just to say hello and admire the fantastic sound coming from my Polk Audio system. Thanks to Polk Audio, I now have new friends in my new city, and a way to make my new neighbors smile.

Great sound

I previously had the Polk Patio 200’s which are a twin to the Atrium 5’s. Thought they kicked s for outdoor music and still do. Then I stepped up to the Atrium 8’s and wow just another audio dimension added. Power, spaciousness, and sound went up, up, up. Excellent speakers for backyards, patios, or anywhere outside because they can handle any type of weather thrown at them. Place them near the corners and bass is solid. So happy I upped my backyard tune source.

Amazing sound fills space nicely. I have 5 acres and even though the sound is not as rich at far distances you can still hear it clearly.

POLK Atrium 8 SDI , das ist ein Stereo Lautsprecher der als Stereo oder Singel zu betreiben ist. Habe mir direkt 2 Stück geordert, klanglich für so ein Kunststoffgehäuse einfach Top. Ich hatte mir erst die Bose 251 ausgesucht, preislich auf gleichem Nivau, da dort aber immer gemischte Bewertungen auftauchen, habe ich mich für Polk entschieden. Hier liest man aber nur sehr wenig drüber, da wohl zu selten in Deutschland. Als vergleich habe ich mir dann noch die Jamo I/O 8 A2 dazu bestellt. Sind dann direkt 1 Paar. Preis 379€ Diese haben sogar 8 Zoll, sprich 20cm Bass Mittelton und ich hatte mir dort etwas mehr Bass erwartet. Jamo gibt aber weniger an, ab 50Hz, Polk mit 6,5 Zoll sogar schon ab 45Hz. Jamo hat Bassreflex Öffnung vorne, Polk hat hinten eine Bassport, bei diesen kann man dann bei Eckmontagen den Bassefekt noch verstärken. Also schnell noch die Jamo geordert zum Vergleich, wären ja als Paar auch noch günstiger als die Polk. Angeschlossen und somit hatte ich einen direkten vergleich zu den Polk. Die Jamo sind auch nicht schlecht, gehen aber wirklich nicht tiefer runter wie die Polk, was aus dem Datenbaltt ja auch zu sehen war. Die Jamo haben einen sehr dominanten Mittelton und lösen nicht so fein auf wie die Polk. Ich hatte die Polk für 245€ das Stück bekommen hier auf Amazon, zusammnen also 490€. Diese 110€ mehr zu Jamo sind es mir auf jeden fall wert. Mit nur einem Polk Atrium 8 SDI im Stereo Modus wäre ich aber auch nicht glücklich geworden, mit 2 Stück, diese hängen ca 4m auseinander und strahlen im 45 Gradwinkel nach unten passt es aber super, sehr feine höhen und auch bei leiser Lautstärke ein sehr homogenes Klangbild. Überdacht mit Terrassen Glasdach 10mm mit 28m² ,betrieben werden diese an einem DENON X4000 an Zone 2. Zur Farbe, ich habe weiß genommen bei beiden, Jamo sowohl Polk sind nicht reinweiß, eher Richtung beige / grau. Stört aber nicht da meine Ausenwand gelblich ist und das Terrassendach silbergrau, passt sehr gut dazu. Beide sind aber auch in Wunschfarbe lackierbar, wie in deren Anleitungen auch beschrieben ist. Fazit Die Jamo sind auch nicht schlecht, aber mir persöhnlich gefallen die Polk klangtechnich wesentlich besser. Ist natürlich alles geschmackssache und eine Preisfrage. Die befestigung ist bei den Polk sehr einfach, Halter festschrauben, Lautsprecher einklicken, Ausrichten und festdrehen, fertig. Das Ausrichten geht jedoch, wenn der Halter einmal Positioniert ist, nur noch seitlich oder vertikal wenn der Halter quer verschraubt wird. Die Jamo sind beim montieren etwas aufwendiger, können jedoch anschließend noch in beider Richtungen verstellt werden. Beide sind im Bassbereich natürlich nicht mit ausgewachsenen Lautsprechern zu vergleichen, wer Außen richtig druck haben will, muss zusätzlich noch ein SUB installieren, dort gibt es ja nun auch einige für den Outdoorbereich.

Déçue … ce n’est pas un lot de deux comme indiqué dans la description mais une seule enceinte j’ai choisi la blanche j’ai reçu une noire … je l’ai renvoyé sans l’utiliser. Trop d’erreur dans le descriptif pour ce prix là.

Los he colocado bajo un alero en el jardín, separados unos 5 metros y ligeramente inclinados hacia abajo. La sonoridad es muy buena, aunque le va bien acentuarle un poco los agudos, seguramente debido a que los graves están reforzados por estar tan próximos al alero. Dan sensación de robustez, en parte por los 4,5 kg que pesa cada uno, en parte por la calidad del material plástico utilizado. Habrá que esperar a que pasen un par de inviernos para ver como aguantan humedades y frío, aunque no creo que vayan a presentar problemas

Son buenos altavoces, pero no me terminaron de convencer, después de un par de uso se desvanecieron los agudos. Sin ningún problema con la devolución y reembolso.
