Wondering how to choose the right outdoor speakers for your event? Choosing the right speakers isn't just about appearance or brand; it also depends on the scale of the event, the venue, and the weather. Here are three key selection principles to help you easily understand the basics of outdoor speakers.
Understand Basic Sound Configuration First: When Do You Need an Amplifier?
Before choosing speakers, you need to understand how a complete sound system works. Generally speaking, a typical stage PA system consists of the following components:
Input Devices: Microphone, Instrument, Computer, or Music Player
Audio Processors: Mixer, Effects Unit
Amplification Device: Amplifier
Output Device: Speakers (Passive or Active)
An amplifier acts like an amplifier, amplifying the signal from a microphone or instrument and transmitting it to the speakers to produce sound. If you choose passive speakers, they must be paired with an amplifier to ensure the sound is transmitted effectively.
Three Key Points for Choosing Outdoor Speakers
Active vs. Passive Speakers: Which is Right for Your Event?
Active speakers have built-in amplifiers, making them easy to use and carry, making them suitable for small events or temporary setups. The downside is that they have limited tuning space.
Passive speakers require an external amplifier and are more suitable for large or professional sound setups, offering more precise adjustments and are ideal for demanding events.
Consider climate factors: Outdoor events require waterproofing and dustproofing!
If the event is held outdoors, be sure to choose outdoor speakers that are waterproof and dustproof to maintain stable sound quality in wind, rain, and dust.
Venue size and sound coverage!
For large outdoor venues, where sound needs to be transmitted over long distances, it is recommended to choose high-power speakers and arrange them strategically.
For indoor spaces, consider wall reflections and echoes, adjusting the number and placement of speakers appropriately to ensure clearer sound.
