Speaker construction and positioning
The Focal Littoria Stone 8 Outdoor Speaker can withstand being outdoors for long periods. They can be used as a stereo pair or as part of a zoning system. Basalt, calcaire, or sable, colours are available, that will blend in with any landscape. Rock speakers can be placed close to the listener rather than being mounted onto a building.
What to know about outdoor speakers
Outdoor speakers come in several types. Some can be mounted in a wall or ceiling, as well as satellite speakers. Satellite speakers can be mounted on an external wall or a ground spike. Another type, such as the Focal Littoria Stone 8 Outdoor Speaker, is disguised as an environmental object such as a stone. The stone type of speakers are discreet and come in several stone colours.
There is also the question of how to drive the speakers. They can be used as a conventional stereo pair, driven by an 8-ohm output amplifier or AV receiver. Alternatively, they can be zoned. That is connected in groups that have the same sound source. This is done by using a transformer that is built into each speaker. The transformer allows the speakers to be daisy-chained. A special type of amplifier is needed for this type of system. Moreover, the transformer has different taps so that the relative volume can be set.
