Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Polk Audio Atrium 60 All Weather Speaker is built to withstand the elements as it delivers years of great performance. The Atrium 60's patented port-venting technology delivers high efficiency and extraordinary bass response in a modest cabinet size. The Polk Atrium 60 utilizes a 6.5-inch mineral-composite polymer cone with butyl-rubber surround for superior bass and midrange response, as well as a one-inch titanium dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet that delivers exceptional accuracy.

Constructed with all stainless steel and brass hardware, and an aluminum bracket and grille, this unit will provide you with years of rustproof reliability, allowing you to deploy the best possible sound in the widest variety of locations. The Atrium 60 meets or exceeds ASTM D5894-Salt Fog, Mil Standard 810 Immersion and Mil Standard 883 MEthod 1009 8 for salt and corrosion tests, and includes five-way binding posts for more secure hook-up options. Built with a sleek black finish and rugged enough for use practically anywhere, the Polk Atrium 60 is a great introduction to high-performance sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice outdoor speaker, February 24, 2008

Let me start this by admitting that I have not yet installed these speakers outside. Mid-winter patio usage in the Midwest is pretty rare, so I will have to wait a few more months before these speakers are mounted in their final spot. Instead, this review is based on indoor use, in comparison to the Polk RTi4

Overall the Atrium 60 is a fairly large speaker, so if you are looking for a speaker that will "hide" under your eaves, this may not be the right choice for you. However, speakers that hide usually offer little in the way of frequency response below 100Hz so keep that in mind!

PROS - crisp highs, solid midrange, nice bass extension. A very solid performer in its own right, even when compared to other bookshelf speakers intended for interior use. I powered them with a Sonos ZP100 (50w X 2) and they were able to pump out serious volume without straining. Not quite concert levels, but far beyond what I consider "normal" volume levels! Music details were not quite as good (not bad, but not sharp) but I think the aluminum grills might be the cause. Very, very solid build.

CONS - size. If teeny, tiny is what you are interested in, then keep looking. These speakers are roughly the size a shoe box. You will definitely want to make sure you mount them to something sturdy.

I am fairly picky with audio. These are excellent speakers. The base response is acceptable. All audio ranges are very clear and accurate.

The day I got my Polk Atrium 60 speakers it was raining but I was so anxious to hear them that I got wet installing them on my deck. Polk says there all weather I took them at there word. I was not disappointed I suddenly had rich beautiful sounding music filling my deck. I had to ask myself why did I wait so long. For such a small investment I now have an outdoor living space teaming with whatever music I or my guests care to here. The speakers are heavy look good and sound wonderful. They sound better in fact than many indoor speakers that I have owned and payed more for. To me they are a bargain. The only negative is that they use a lot of power but for the great sound it's worth it! I have no reservation recommending them. Don
