Re: [Sursound] Hardest wearing outdoor speakers

I think, given the timescale, it's probably a mistake to specify a particular speaker - or, indeed, any other system component or maintenance contractor. It might be better to concentrate on writing a detailed and technology neutral 'minimum system specification' allowing replacements of anything b

And yes I've thought the cheap and easy to replace route is a good one. Extreme 5 s are cheapish sound fine even have speakers. However this still requires someone to guarantee they can replace them for a long period On Friday, 25 January 2019, Augustine Leudar wrote: > *35 not 5. Even I'm not t

Hi Fons, All of the people I have approached so far have been professionals (so far Meyer, Martin audio and Bose) - if you know of any company that would deliver a maintenance package covering all technical infrastructure for 35 years (speakers, cabling, 8 channel player) then please point me in th

yeah - I actually got in touch this afternoon. They're the only company large enough that I have much faith would still be around in 35 years . 35 years is a long time . Maybe someone knows a group of extra terrestrial audiophiles for whom a decade is but the blink of an eye ? On Thu, 24 Jan 2019

I have used Daytons stuff for a temporary indoor sound installation - lots of fun but I have doubts they would last 35 years ! Maybe their outdoor stuff is more robust.

Hi John I'm aware of a lot of outdoor speakers and technical considerations. I've used acoustic energy extreme 5s for the same thing but note permanent and they were fine. They don't have to be Meyer but not super cheap either. However here the real issue is who will provide a maintenance package/

Re: [Sursound] Hardest wearing outdoor speakers

Augustine, There are many outdoor speakers available: most theme parks are full of them. The question is, what degree of fidelity you’re looking for, frequency response, spl, etc. As for media players, once again, there are many choices, so how many tracks, what sample rate, programming method
