I just read on here that someone was having trouble with blown Sonance outdoor but the thread is now closed. So have to make a new one
I have a Beach Bar Restaurant & my beach area with all the tables is 20m x 20m 1 side being the sea and the opposite centre is a tree planning to mount high up 2 x Sonance outdoor facing diagonal L & R to the beach and the Sonos Amp. There is potentially the option to use another central tree about 8-10m from the sea which could mount facing the sea or back to the restaurant
I can’t find any decent reviews of Sonance Outdoor online, and nothing to give a sense of volume available. I have 2 Era 300 which sound great so I’m presuming at least as good as those...
It's a sit down restaurant (but lively) so music needs to be back ground music (people shouldn’t need to shout) with great sound quality, but with prolonged use - They will run for 14 hours per day every day.
Now I see the thread about someone with repeated blown speakers and others recommending that must limit volume to 60%.
Is that enough to cover my area and will survive 14 hours a day usage? And they will be able to survive in the tropics through the wet season with occasionally very heavy wind and rain?
Can anyone advise?
Sonos Amp & Sonance Outdoor for a beach bar & restaurant
+17You don’t NEED to use Sonance speakers with the Amp. I have 4 Polk Atriums in my back yard powered by an Amp and they work great. There are great speakers like these that can also suit the needs for a lively crowd:

There is a bar/restaurant on Harbour Island that has used JBL for years with excellent results.
This is the new models of what they use:

I can’t say anything about The Sonos-Sonance outdoor speakers, as I don’t have them, nor am I aware of the threads you’re referring to. I also have 4 Polk Atriums in my back yard for years and never had any issues with them. They are fully exposed (not under eaves) and survived hurricanes and freezing weather without issue.
Thanks for the replies. Sorry, maybe I should have linked to it
Thanks for the tip about Polk Atriums. I will look into those. Looks like weather sealing is good. Do you know if they can sustain 14 hours a day at the volume to fill the space I need.
The Polk Atrium 5 in Indonesia (where I'm based) is half the price so could get 4 of those for the price of 2 Sonance Outdoor 🧐
But, In the end it’s for a business so quality is much more a consideration than cost :)
