Outdoor Lantern Speaker

[0.45 lb] Durable Outdoor commercial speaker that will last a lifetime

[5.3 oz / 150 g] Hold well for my lantern softbox

[10 to 100 W RMS] Our old 20 year outdoor speakers finally died. So after about 6 hours of Internet browsing off to the store I went. After listening in the store, it seemed this was the ONLY outdoor speaker that even approached my need for clean sound thoughout a eclectic range of music. To be honest the on the "metal Shelf" in store demo the speaker's performance, although the best out of the outdoor batch in the store, seemed to offer only at best, a compromise in performance to gain the weatherabilty. The in store demo was decieving...Upon installation over our deck area, my wife and I were stunned, both our jaws dropped...Instead of a the expected mush of voices and sound elements we could hear individual instruments and beautiful voice qualities and inflections we only heard before in our indoor system.. The apparent frequency response was incredible as well, way beyond our expectations. This was accomplished BY ONLY CHANGING TO theses new Atrium 8 SDI speakers. We played a Mahler Symphony, some 90's rock, a movie soundtrack from Beasts of the Southern Wild and a wonderful jazz vocal group called Paris Combo. Every piece was beautifully depicted and actually dimensioned with only our two speaker setup. My wife's commented out of her excitement and delight, " Oh honey this sounds so wonderul, We have to throw a party !!!! Thank you Polk Audio for lots of wonderful soundful parties to come!!!!

[46 x 8 x 7.75"] The light from this lantern is beautiful. I have also Aputure Lantern 90, but that one is too big for a small or home studio. The only improvement I could think of would be 2-part skirt. The one which comes in the box is divided all the way but the very top. So if you only need half, you still have to mount the whole thing somewhere. All in all, great value with amazing soft light suitable for smaller or home studio.

[100] Saw another review with broken rods. The ones in my Nanlite Lantern Softbox LT-80 are steel. Different than what I'm use too. You don't just push down and hook it in place. This has the thumb quick open like on softboxes. Then you have a cable you pull up to make it tight. I like this design. Did a color meter test and Kelviin did not change with this lantern. Bare light gives me 5650 and lantern read the same, Will be using on a Forza 720B and Forza 500

[6.4' / 2 m] Bought 2 of these to use as speaker stands for outdoor events. Really impressed with build quality. Very sturdy even at full height. The crank mechanism is easy to use and feels very solid.

[38.815 lb] I had experience with using the 12 and 15 inch version of these speakers earlier this year with a band I was playing in, and when the need arose for my jazz duo to play an outdoor concert, I got a pair of these. I auditioned them at home for a week, and found the sound to be expansive, clear, and full-range. I used them for the first time this past weekend at an outdoor fund-raiser concert, and they performed magnificently. For once, vocals and my partner's trumpet were clear and cut through the mix. I ported my piano and my backing tracks thru it as well, and everything sounded balanced and clean. This allowed us to use my amp/powered speaker as a monitor, so we had the best of both worlds here. I cannot recommend these speakers enough. They are extremely lightweight given their quality, which is a must for me, and while they were not cheap, they are a great value, costing less than comparable speakers of other, famous brands. The other speakers I considered were heavier and just as expensive, and I doubt they would have sounded any better. And I am considering getting a third one of these to use as a floor wedge monitor for larger venues and larger bands. I'm happy with these and if you need a larger-sized speaker, the 12 and 15 inch variety are also a best bet.

[Black] Bought it just for a outdoor speaker for a birthday party omg sound is awesome also got a little rain on it no problem
