Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Want to take great Polk Audio speaker sound outdoors? Check out the indoor/outdoor 100-watt Atrium 55s. The all stainless steel and brass hardware is completely rustproof, as are the aluminum brackets that allow multiple mounting options and full 90-degree rotation: aim them to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of locations. The rustproof aluminum grilles have 55 percent open area for superior sound quality. Most importantly, the Atrium 55s rugged, weatherproof, design meets or exceeds several military specifications for water, wind, salt, and corrosion.

Inside the completely sealed enclosure is a 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance mineral-filled polymer driver with butyl rubber suspension for pumping out amazing bass, while its 1-inch soft dome tweeter with neodymium magnet broadly distributes high frequencies to cover a large area with high fidelity sound. Polk's Dynamic Balance technology produces flat frequency response, sharp detail, transparency and an ability to play program material with wide dynamic range at life-like volume levels without a hint of strain. The sound is always clean, clear, and effortless. The sculpted front baffle and rounded enclosure minimizes diffraction (sound reflecting off of hard edges) for more open and lifelike imaging.

Connect them to an amplifier or receiver using the set's gold-plated five-way speaker-level binding posts. The Atrium 55s are also voice-matched to Polk's RTi speakers, and therefore make great surrounds in a complete Polk home theater system with the ability to handle up to 100 watts per channel.

What's in the Box
Pair, Atrium 55 speakers (black), mounting brackets, manual, 2-year parts and labor warranty.

I orginally had a pair of JVC outdoor speakers and a passive subwoofer on my patio. Within a year the weather and bugs destroyer the paper cones making them all defunct. I planned to replace the speakers and subwoofer with better quality units. These Polk speakers seem to be constructed much better than the JVC's, but the biggest surprise was the sound quality. These speakers produce great high, mid and low frequency output. The low frequency output is so good (it BOOMS) that I see no need to buy an outdoor subwoofer.

I've installed Polk speakers in every car I've owned and have always been pleased with their outstanding sound quality, but was a little doubtful that I'd get the same great sound in weatherproof speakers. After listening to these beauties on my deck over the last 2 months, I'm please to report that they sound outstanding. Fantastic bass, great detail and great stereo field no matter how loud, soft or distant. Also, these speakers sat unmounted on my deck railing thru showers and one horrific rain/thunderstorm and are no worse for the wear. If you're considering outdoor speakers, make sure you go with all weather or weather proof as opposed to weather resistant, and I highly recommend these Polk speakers in particular. (I bought them on Amazon for $150 for the pair, so check around the site for prices.)

Outside entertaining has never been better. After 2 years with the rock speakers, finally going bust, we had to come up with a better solution. We did our research and bought the Polk speakers. We were so impressed and so are our friends. Loud and clear. Love 'em!
