Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The stylish, compact LS400 speakers from AudioSource give you a powerful sound, inside or outside. The weather-resistant speakers are perfect for outdoor use in protected areas, such as a partially covered deck or patio. The metal grilles and solid construction make the LS400 speakers durable and attractive. The small size of the LS400 speakers makes them a great indoor sound source as well. Place them on a bookshelf or mount them to a wall and connect them to your stereo or home theater.

Despite being small (8.5 x 6 x 6 inches, W x H x D), the LS400 speakers handle 100 watts per channel and feature a 4-inch reinforced polypropylene woofer and 3/4-inch polycarbonate tweeter. They're easy to hook up and can accommodate almost any kind of speaker wire connections. The speakers have gold-plated binding-post speaker terminals that ensure high-fidelity sound, and the terminals connect to banana-plug speaker cords or bare speaker wires, up to 14-gauge.

The LS400 speakers are also easy to put in place. They come complete with mounting brackets, nonslip adhesive pads, and all the basic hardware you need to get your speakers set up, outside and inside.

What's in the Box
2 speakers, color matched brackets, nonslip adhesive pads, installation materials, owner's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but the LS200 is Better, February 14, 2004

These speakers (LS400) are pretty good. However, even though they are rated at 100W, and the LS200 at 50W (Both from Audio Source), we believe the LS200 speakers reproduce the audio frequencies more accurately. Both use the same 4" polypropylene woofer, but the tweeter arrangement is quite different. This undoubtedly is responsible for the better performance of the LS200. (The LS200 uses a mid-range and a high frequency tweeter as opposed to a single tweeter in the LS400.) The 50W capability of the LS200 should be adequate for most applications.

The mounting brackets supplied with both speakers are nothing to brag about, but, the LS400 brackets are made of plastic while the LS200 are at least made of steel.

The spring clip wire terminals work well (the same on both). These same clips are used on some much more expensive speakers.

These speakers are a good buy but the LS200 speakers are a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable value if you have reasonable expectations, August 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: AudioSource LS400 Indoor/Outdoor Two-Way Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)

I was looking for a pair of speakers to mount on the eave above my deck. Based on the reviews and the unbelievable price ...with free shipping I gave these a shot. I was not looking to shake the earth, just to enjoy moderately loud music on my deck and in my backyard. I'll agree that the brackets are a bit on the flimsy side, but as soon as I hooked everything up I was flat out astounded at the rich sound quality .... Sound quality is comparable to our ... Cambridge Soundworks ensemble speakers in the living room. I am especially thrilled about the lack of directionality (imaging?) as I was worried that I would have to mess with the balance a lot to get good stereo sound depending on where I was standing relative to the speakers but it is not a problem at all. I'd buy them again in a second!

3.0 out of 5 stars Water resistant?, July 3, 2002

This review is from: AudioSource LS400 Indoor/Outdoor Two-Way Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)

Good sounding speakers given their size. Was a little disappointed with the fact that they are considered outdoor speakers but are not waterproof. You're expected to mount them under eves. Unfortunately, I wanted them mounted on the outside of a shed. Built a plexiglass cap to mount above the speaker to reduce the amount of rain it will be exposed to.
