outdoor speaker/radio system?

CopperKett

im looking for a radio system to put by riding ring where i ride my horses.
we just want a radio that we could keep either in the barn or near the ring and have speakers set up by the ring so that we could listen to the radio while riding.
ive seen this before where people have the radio in their house and the speakers are like outside on teh patio or something.
i was just wondering how i could do this and approx. what the price would be.
thanks for your help!

Answer
There are alot of wireless speakers on the market. I'm sure you can find them on e bay , radio shack , Best buy ect... I have them and they are great !!!! Didn't have to run wires and can move them around whenever I need to. Can take to parties ,camping...... They even have them disguised as rocks. I think I paid around $80. Mine run off my Ipod which gives me radio and my personal music collection.

Help with a wireless indoor outdoor multiple room speaker system.?

Calvin

I am looking for a wireless speaker system that i can hook into my computer that will transmit a signal around the house and outside (around 50 to 60 feet from the base). Its mainly for my computer, but if I can hook it into my home theater system or an iPod up to it, that would be nice too.
If there are any that hook into the computer via USB and not an audio jack that would be great. That way i can use my existing computer speakers and place the wireless ones elsewhere. Having the options of multiple speaker additions to the system would be cool. Wireless speakers that are battery powered and AC powered would be nice. Also looking for a reasonable price from an authenticated dealer. Thank you.

No website names please, i could do that myself all day. Im looking for a link or name of an actual system.

Answer
SONOS, they have a system designed specifically for that, you can use your ipod while walking around the house as the remote if you like and switch volumes in each zone, play different music or the same etc. plus it has really good sound quality. but they are probably not reasonably priced for you, i dont know any company off the top of my head that makes a speaker that runs off of batteries that would do what you are looking for. if you want a cheaper alternative to sonos try sonys altus systems.

We're trying to arrange an outdoor video screening on a huge projector on a wall. We have basic 5 speaker setup stereo available, but we want to be able to wire additional speakers throughout the space (it's huge space so everything is pretty spaced out).

We want to avoid having to crank up the volume in on the main speakers (like a theater), so we rather do it drive-in movie style where each section gets their own speakers (wireless preferred).

Any ideas on setup or how to do this?

Answer
Get a Audio Unlimited transmitter set. It's on sale on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PHMGN0?ie=UTF8&tag=thebubrocpro-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002PHMGN0

Then get as many additional speakers as you need here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YLKK0K?ie=UTF8&tag=thebubrocpro-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000YLKK0K

The speakers are even rated for outdoor use!

What is a good wireless outdoor microphone to pick up bird sounds?

jmg62699

I'm a birder and I enjoy listening to the birds. In winter, when I have my windows closed, I don't get to hear them and I miss it. I have an idea to put a small microphone on the pole that supports my feeders with a speaker in the house to bring the bird sounds inside. Any recommendations?

Answer
If the mic is to be "wireless", then there needs to be some sort of battery powered transmitter that sends the wireless audio signal to a wireless audio receiver or "base station"; the base station connects to an amplifier; the amplifier connects to the "small speaker". There may be some sort of base station-amplifier-speaker combination unit available that can connect to the wireless mic... but we have not solved the issue of the power for the wireless transmitter... unless you are wiling to change batteries in the transmitter every few days. And we don't know what sort of weather protection there is available for the electronics and the mic...

If the mic is "wired" and the cable run is over about 15 feet, use of shielded cable is desirable. If unshielded cable is used, the long cable can pick up radio frequency and electro-magnetic interference because the cable basically turns into an antenna. The result can be audible hiss, pops, static and even radio or TV stations.

Starting at the mic: A half decent shotgun mic with long enough extension cables connect to an integrated amplifier/speaker. Rather than place the mic at the feeder, place the shotgun mic closer to the house on a pole out the window. This way, changing batteries in the mic is easier - decent directional, condenser, shotgun mics need power - many can house a AA battery. Anchor makes good little integrated amp/speaker units.

Where can I find an "idiots guide" to outdoor speaker installation?

Katherine

I don't even know where to start. I need to know what I need to do a full installation of an outdoor speaker stereo system. Questions I have range from: What kind of receiver do I need? How do the outdoor speakers hook up to a receiver that's inside? Do I need an outdoor volume controller? If so, how do I hook that up as well?

I really need "start from scratch" instruction guide. Please help.

Answer
Not sure where to find an Idiots Guide but can tell you what I did with outdoor speakers.
First, buy speakers that are suited for outdoor use. I mounted them under the overhang of the roof around the patio.
Lot's of choices on speakers, some are designed to look like large stones that you can place in a garden, etc.
I ran speaker wire to the inside where the audio equipment is located.
Have a Yamaha receiver that is hooked to the external speakers as well as the inside speakers, TV, VCR, etc.
The receiver has a speaker switch. You can select the speakers you want to use. It is like an A/B switch.
You can also buy wireless speakers. They will be more expensive and I am not sure how well they work.
You might go to Radio Shack and see what they carry in speakers. Have them draw out the hookups for you. I am not touting Radio Shack, any number of good stores handle audio equipment.
I would not want to invest a tremendous amount of money in exterior speakers. To many things can happen to them and you will not be able to tell the difference in sound quality outdoors, anyway.
Good luck
