What Makes a Good Outdoor Speaker
First of all, good outdoor speakers must have rock solid weatherproof construction to withstand the elements. Simple and flexible mounting options are crucial in fitting to your unique setup. Lastly, good outdoor speakers must feature great sound quality to handle any use case you may have.
CS1000
Designed to be used anywhere, the CS1000 is strong and durable, and it embodies the high value and sound quality that PSB is known for. Whether indoors, out on the patio or poolside, the CS1000 sounds like a true audiophile speaker. And as with all PSB speakers, the CS1000 uses a 6½” high-quality drivers, so you can expect sparkling highs, smooth midrange, and full, rich bass.
CS500
Enjoy true-to-nature sound indoors or outside with the PSB CS500 universal speaker. This rugged, all-weather indoor/outdoor speaker with a 5¼" woofer, offers the ideal combination of reliability, seamless integration, and premium sound quality. Backed by over 45 years of PSB innovation, this speaker is durable enough to handle extreme weather conditions, yet attractive and discreet enough to be the perfect audio solution to enhance your home inside and out.
Designed for Even the
Most Extreme Weather
Designed in Canada, it’s no surprise that this universal speaker was built with severe weather conditions in mind. The CS500’s compact, weatherproof construction includes a UV-resistant polypropylene cabinet, aluminium grille, and rustproof terminals with a rubber cover for added protection against the elements. The CS500’s solid construction also ensures that it stands up to rigorous commercial use.

Mounting the Speakers
Installation is simplified with our fully adjustable, dual-rotational bracket that allows perfect positioning and aiming of the speaker, even in tricky spaces.
Select corrosion resistant fasteners (eg. made of stainless steel) of sufficient quality and size, appropriate for the surface to which the speakers will be mounted, to ensure secure mounting with good safety margin.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the surfaces selected for attaching the speakers are structurally sound and strong enough to bear the weight of the speakers. Consider using #10 - #12 (5.0 or 5.5mm) screws that are 2.5 to 3” (65 to 75mm) long for direct-to-wall stud attachment or specialty anchoring hardware for hollow-wall or masonry installation. it is strongly recommended to use Steel Cable for tethering the speaker to the mounting surface. The cable should pass through the Cable Guide and wrap around the Aluminium Bracket.
Connecting the Speakers
Connect each speaker with a standard two-wire cable to the signal source either directly or through a local volume control. The speakers must be wired appropriately for the intended control. The impedance loads of the speakers must be balanced with the capabilities of the amplifier. in some mono-only systems, a single wire may be connecting speakers in series, entering from one speaker to another—beginning and ending at the amplifier. Wire gauge should decrease with longer runs—usually 16AWG (1.3mm dia) stranded copper wire is minimal, with 12 AWG (2.0mm dia) being better for longer runs.
The ends of each wire need to be separated, stripped, twisted and inserted into the correct terminal post. Polarity needs to be maintained to ensure in-phase connection for maximum bass and clarity. Out-of-phase connection will result in frequency cancellations and produces thinner, less distinct sound—with less bass, vague vocal quality and no solid centre image.
To help ensure proper connection, the two separate conducting wires in a standard two- conductor speaker cable are coded in one way or another to be distinguishable from each other (for example +/rib/writing/red).
Solid construction
Versatility and durability are among the top priorities when it comes to designing indoor/outdoor speakers. The CS1000’s compact, weatherproof construction includes a UV-resistant polypropylene cabinet, aluminum grille, and rustproof terminals with a rubber cover for added protection against the elements. The CS1000’s solid construction also ensures that it stands up to rigorous commercial use.
