Sonos Outdoor Speakers placed on ground?

Hi there,

I have an Amp, and 2 outdoor speakers, looking to expand to 4, possibly 6 in the future. 

The ideal placements for me are in plant boarders, I can get the right distance between speakers, and even set-up for the area. I appreciate they aren't ideally placed for audio perfection (not at ear level, but I've angled toward the listener). 

My question, will it harm the speakers having them sat on the ground (small gravel), rather than having them mounted?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Dav3duk,

While we would recommend you mount the speakers, having them placed on the ground wont cause any direct damage to the speakers.

The only thing I would suggest you look out for is anything that could potentially kick up the gravel at the speakers, as that could mark the casing or cause indirect damage.

I hope this information helps!

That's great, thank you for the feedback! 

Yeah, very difficult to mount, it's an open garden space, with no structures, and always battling with the aesthetics!
