Suitable for outdoor use? Could one of these be mounted underneath the patio for outdoor use?

Question

Greg · Accepted Answer

Yes, I keep two Play 5 speakers on a large covered patio. The humidity of the South Florida weather has not affected the speakers.

Gmoney · Answer

It would work outside with the system,but it's not waterproof, or water resistant. At that price, I'd wait until they release a water resistance version.

Drbking · Answer

I would not consider it to be waterproof, so no. Also, it does need to be plugged in.

I added a shelf under the patio cover near my electrical outlet and I take it in when not in use. The humidity in Texas is brutal and these units, while durable, are expensive! I personally wouldn't take the chance. I have, on a good party night, left it out overnight under the patio cover with no adverse consequences.

I would not leave this unit outdoors. It is intended for indoor use. I DO bring mine outside to use on a regular basis but, I always bring it back in when I'm done with it. I don't think it would hold up to long time outdoor use, IMO.

would not reccomend it, they are not designed for outdoor use so humidity and temperature change will afect the unit. Buy a pair of outdoor speakers and wire them into the house to a sonos connect amp. This works great!
