XxRevilexX Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi, I have a question regarding speakers used in outdoors events, how do you guys protect them from rain? Let say if we do not use weather proof speakers. For example arrays and some full range speakers. Any photos? Thanks for time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage1 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Visqueen and gaffa tape is a pretty common solution although obviously not suitable for covering the front of your speakers. The only times I've seen the front of speakers covered was with bin liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMitchell Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We had single skin drop over covers with acoustically transparent Austronet fronts made for our d&b E8 boxes. They are secured with a velcro strap underneath the bottom of the box.We regularly use multiples of E8 within distributed systems outdoors and these covers do a fine job of keeping the boxes dry. The covers fold practically flat when not in use and live in the top of the 4xE8 flightcases with mounting hardware & accessories. Obviously when they're wet, they are transported separately then hung up to dry for 24hrs. http://www.prospeakercovers.co.uk/index.php?pageid=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
