Polk Audio Atrium 4 Outdoor Speakers, Powerful Bass (Pair, Black)

Why I ordered this item: My old outdoor speakers finally died on me after a storm last year and I've had a bare wall on my patio since. I wanted something I could mount and forget about, not another pair of plastic boxes that crack after one winter. Likes: * These sound crazy good for how small they are. I've got them mounted above my patio door and music fills the whole area, not just directly underneath. * The mounting brackets are snazzy. You click the speaker into place with one hand and it locks in. I did mine solo without a ladder buddy. * The housing is thick plastic and doesn't feel flimsy at all, even sitting outside in full sun most of the day. * Bass is way better than a speaker this size has any right to have. I wasn't expecting much from a woofer that small. * Hookup was easy, I just twisted my existing speaker wire onto the binding posts and it worked. No likes: * The included mounting hardware is kind of skimpy. I ended up buying my own screws since the ones in the box felt cheap. * Volume matching between the pair was a little screwy out of the box, I had to fiddle with my receiver to get them even. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: These are good speakers for a patio or small backyard setup, not for blasting music across a huge yard. If your gonna mount speakers outside and want something that sounds way bigger than it looks, these are worth it.

For the price and quality, these speakers are very good. We’ve used them in several customer projects and haven’t had any issues. Good product.

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%!!

So far these are great. Not much bass but for the size they are great. Handle all the weather this far. I’d buy again.

Good product and well made .

Great sound! Just two speakers completely fill the entire pool area and patio with rich sound.

At their price point, these speakers represent the absolute best value you will find, period. I was in the market for some outdoor speakers to go with a 100 inch projector screen for my terrace. I've been a user of Polk Audio for many years, in fact, my home theater is comprised of polk audio tsi's except for the main speakers which are Bowers and Wilkins. Long story short I'm a fan of more "relaxed" speakers that let you enjoy the sound for longer periods of time without any ear fatigue. Once I decided that a 4 1/2 inch cone would suffice (I'm not trying to start a war with my neighbors here) I pulled the trigger on these. I could not be more happier with my purchase. Paired with my old trusty Denon Receiver in Zone 2, and without any EQ or any crossover for that matter, these speakers have proved themselves to be an absolute bargain. Speaker imaging is spot on with plenty of detail and separation for a nice, ample and defined sound stage that makes the speakers virtually invisible. Contrary to what many have stated, I have found the bass response on these to be more than enough considering their size and the acoustic properties of my terrace (they are mounted to a concrete wall and the area is roofed). You can clearly define all the highs and lows and since its a Polk those tweeters wont be overly aggressive , the only thing you will not get is the earth shattering base that you can achieve by adding a sub to the mix. The speakers can easily fill all my terrace and pool area (40' x 35') with sound without actually having to be loud. Another area where I was pleasantly surprised was with their performance in movies, voices, music and special effects all shine through effortlessly at any volume and yes, they can get VERY loud if you want to push them. So that's that, if your in the market for outdoor speakers I would not hesitate to check these out as long as you provide adequate power with a dedicated amp or receiver you should be good to go. Give them a proper break in and enjoy!

We installed these on our covered back porch —love them!! Installation was a breeze and the sound quality is amazing. These are great -order them if you are looking for outdoor speakers

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.

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!

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.
