General
Outdoor speakers come in many shapes and sizes. People who want their weather-resistant speakers to sound beautiful and detailed will be well served with the KEF Ventura 5 set. This set of two passive speakers comes with an excellent CV: a sleek, white ABS housing, plenty of power (100 watts), a 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, as well as KEF's exquisite tonal character. These speakers can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and the logo can easily be rotated so that it will always be upright.
Ventura 5: applications
The Ventura 5 can easily be mounted to walls or ceilings. As it weighs only 3.3 kilos, it isn't likely to cause cracks in the wall. These speakers have wire clamps so that they can be connected to a conventional amplifier (6-ohm impedance). This white duo's biggest trump, however, is that it can be used near pools, in the garden, or even at sea, so you can enjoy its high-end sound reproduction wherever you want.
Protected from the elements
It takes more than a plastic bag to create a proper outdoor speaker. The KEF Ventura line was carefully designed so that it can be used virtually anywhere. The Ventura 5 has an IP65 rating, which means that it is dust-free and splash-proof. In its testing phase, the Ventura series' speakers endured a salt-water splashing for over 50 days! Its components have been mounted from the inside, and the rugged composite housing is UV-proof and fitted with a powder-coated grille.
