More and more of you are spending a lot of time in your bathrooms.
Who could blame you? If I could stay in the tub for a few hours without
pruning every part of me, I would! But the bathroom is becoming another
one of those hang out places in your home. What with all the relaxing
and not so relaxing activities available. I've seen baths that are the
size of my living room that have a hot tub, a weight bench, work out
area, sauna, TV, couches.... Okay, well, not all of us have a bathroom
this functional, but we can all benefit from having our favorite tunes
there to add to the experience.
So what are the right kind of
speakers to add to a bathroom? Well my first recommendation would be
outdoor patio speakers. There are many sizes, shapes and colors to
choose from so finding a set that would match your decor will be
simple. The fact that they are water resistant really helps. This means
they will hold up for many, many years in the moist environment your
shower will create. Regular home stereo speakers are not manufactured
to handle these harsh conditions. The structure of the cabinets and the
drivers in home speakers will deteriorate quickly and the sounds will
be lost with the moisture right out your vent!
Hooking up these
speakers will require a little bit of thought and planning to achieve
the right locations for the components. You will need to place your
amplifier out of harms way of the moisture that fills your bathroom
every time you take a bath or shower. This can be achieved by placing
the amplifier in a cabinet or in the next room or a closet. Where ever
you put your amplifier, you will need to be sure there is a power
outlet near by or you will never hear any tunes! By keeping the
amplifier in a location away from moisture, you will be saving it from
a most certain doom! There are amps that can be used right out in the
open moisture. Wiring from you amplifier to your speakers will need to
be run to transmit the audio signal to them. And of course you will
want to do a nice job hiding and running those wires. If you run wires
through the walls, you will want to make sure you put some sealant in
the holes to keep moisture out of your walls.
A majority of patio
speakers come with many mounting options that will allow you to place
them almost anywhere you want. Along with the options of many colors to
chose from, patio speakers are a great choice for your bathroom music
needs. So get ready to sit back in your tub with your rubber ducky, or
enjoy your morning "newspaper" reading with your favorite tunes playing
through your new bathroom speakers!
