When it comes to outdoor audio, not all speakers are created equal. 🌦️🔊
Last week, Josh and Matt had the opportunity to visit the FBT factory in Italy. Amongst the many products we saw being assembled and individually tested was the FBT Shadow range and, of course, we spent plenty of time listening to the speakers in action too. It’s always great to see the craftsmanship and quality control behind products you trust.
Outdoor loudspeakers are one of the hardest products to get right. They need to cope with the weather, deliver exceptional sound quality, provide consistent coverage and keep performing reliably year after year. In our opinion, the FBT Shadow range does this better than anything else we’ve heard.
Despite the name, outdoor loudspeakers aren’t just for outdoor use. Some of the harshest environments for audio systems are actually indoors. Moisture, condensation, and temperature changes can all shorten the life of conventional loudspeakers, even when they’re installed inside a building.
That’s why we’ve specified the FBT Shadow range for everything from school sports pitches and playgrounds to indoor sports halls, a zoo, an ice rink and even the LCFC conditioning chamber. Not all of these projects were outdoors, but they all demanded loudspeakers that could withstand challenging environmental conditions without compromising on sound quality or long-term reliability.
After seeing them being built, individually tested and hearing the whole range again, we’re even more confident in recommending the Shadow series for projects where performance and durability are equally important.
If you’ve got an outdoor project, or an indoor environment where standard loudspeakers simply won’t last, we’d love to help design the right solution.
