Polk Audio Atrium 4 Outdoor Speakers (Pair, Black)

These really are quite a remarkable pair of speakers when paired with a good quality amplifier! I originally powered them with a Fosi HT4S and they sounded ok but pretty rough in the midrange. Then I tried a Wiim Amp and they sounded much better, nice and refined and balanced but I just had a feeling they could go further. Then I bit the bullet and got a second hand Arcam SA10 and that really brought them to life! Amazing clarity and such great warmth from the Arcam. They are lacking in bass but as they’re the smallest in the range that’s to be expected. I’ve already decided to upgrade to the Atrium 6 and move the 4s to a quieter part of the garden. All in all a fantastic pair of speakers! Great build quality, fantastic sound and easy to fit. Power them with a good quality amplifier and you’re in for a real treat!

Installed in outdoor bar / kitchen. They’re under cover but I wouldn’t put a non outdoor rated speaker outside, even under cover. It isn’t just the rain, it’s the dew and air temp that’s can play havoc with this sort of stuff. Nice sound from the speakers. Perhaps the atrium 5’s would have been better for bass but you can’t knock the sound from these at all. Got them hooked up to a Douk audio amp via a Sonos connect. Sound is really lovely and the speakers are a nice quality.

I’ve got these mounted up outside and I’ve got great sound. I was nervous about how waterproof they would be but they’ve had no problems even after some incredibly heavy rain in London over the summer. They install easily with well thought out brackets that Mount quickly with the speakers clipping on easily. I think it’ll be very easy for me to bring them in over winter.

Purchased these to replace a cheap pair of outdoor speakers (around 10-15 years old) that were rusting and fairly quite (compared to the inside speakers). Whilst outdoors they are sheltered. As they are made from brass, aluminium, stainless steel and sort of plastic I purchased these so they should not rust and I hoped for a similar sound quality/volume to the two sets of speakers in the house, all powered by the same amplifier. Yes they look nice and the sound quality is pretty good but the volume is not that much better than the old cheaper speakers. I have to increase the amplifier volume when we are outside, for this reason I have reduced the rating to 4 stars, yes they are better than the old speakers, so I'm still pleased with them. Also very pleased with the Amazon customer support too. I was very careful when installing the speakers and they looked perfect in daylight, however in the evening when the lights are on, a small crease/dent is highlighted in one of the speakers grill. On contacting Amazon, there was no quibble, I could either have them replaced, return them or take the offer of a significant discount. As they are outside we decided to accept the discount, the after sales service was great.

Great looking, outdoor speakers, the sound quality is sufficient to get the party in full swing, easy to install.

For very compact outdoor speakers, they sound good. I am going to pair them with a subwoofer at some point as they can’t produce any low frequencies. Mounting was easy and fast. I would have liked to see some weatherproofing on the wiring terminals. Yet to see how they do over time, but have been working well in all the rain we have had recently.

I installed a pair of these last April on my garden pergola/deck area. They served their purpose, looked really good and sounded great during the many bbq's and garden parties we had. However. What I didn't account for was when I took them down today (bring in for winter), to my disappointment, one is full of water. Now, for an environmental 'outdoor' speaker to fill with water completely defies the point in having them! As stated, they obviously aren't for full outdoor use, as letting in water after 9 months of installation isn't exactly a fantastic quality to have.

Good outdoor speakers for the price. Sound quality I would say is 4 out of 5 taking all into consideration.

Very good sound quality for the price. Paired with a sub provide well balanced sound with a bit of eq. Without the sub the bass are a bit weak…

Quite unos Bosé 251 y puse los Polk. Mejor calidad de sonido. Los recomiendo. Tengo los polk 5 y 4 en un surround sound.

Awesome speakers!!! The sound is super clear and they have great bass for the size as well.......they don't have the super deep bass like an active subwoofer. ....but hey, they're smaller speakers. Perfect for the patio or deck! Not too big and bulky but big enough to sound great!! Quality appears great and you can't beat the mounting system!! Super easy to mount in a variety of positions......and the speaker slips into bracket and stays in place so your hands are free to put the cap screws on the ends and hook the wires up!! The engineers actually did a great job with this system! We mounted them under the soffit on the house above the back deck and they're wired into an older Pioneer receiver with an equalizer. It gets -30f here so we will be removing them for winter just to be safe. At under $100 I don't think you will be able to find better bang for the buck anywhere. Highly recommend!! Update*#*#*11/17 Just finished installing two more pair of these in garage. Wow. What a difference these make in the quality of sound......full sound and very clear. Had a full set of samsung speaker that came with surround system out there. Put these in tonight and all I can say is wow!! What a difference! Will be ordering some more to install near our firepit in back yard. ****update March 2021**** These speakers are still going strong!! Have had hundreds of hours of use and they still sound as good as the first day of use. No problems with the weather at all, had to dust them off last fall, (excess dust in neighborhood from road work over the summer). Still would recommend these 100%!!

Whilst the box was not damaged the speaker grill on 1 speaker had a big dent. Good sound but disappointed that it was damaged.

Paired with Fosi 20a Pro amp makes for an excellent listening experience in my 10x12 gazebo.
