I need a speaker that works well outdoors for &lt;200 people in a campground setting. I just want to talk, play video/music. Would this work for that?

For the Sam price you can get the new mackie TH piwered 12" , 1000 watts (black). I have both. The mackies are better suited for your situation. *its the newer Mackie TH IN BLACK, not the Grey ones. They are only 400 watts.

Ya, it'll work pretty much anywhere that there is enough sound to activate it. It's not necessarily bass activated, however lower end frequencies seem to drive it better. If the music is loud enough, it'll play nice. For outdoors, I would keep it as close to your speakers as reasonably possible.

This is not an outdoor speaker. It is not make for any of the elements and I wouldnot sugest that at all....it works great "inside" the home

Yes, it is an excellent choice for outdoor movies. That is what I use it for. On Friday nights, I set mine up with a Blu-ray player. And I use a combo (amp/speaker) bass guitar amp for big, loud sound.

If you don't care about rich sound, then yeah a simple speaker would due , but if you want a little amplification and sound quality you might try The "Altech Lansing" portable speaker. not bad for low cost quality sound. good luck, and hope this helps.

Yes, that's why I bought it. I needed something that had speakers that other people could heat, so opted for this instead of a Walkman-type device. It works just fine.

I have to agree with the other respondents in that I would not expect these speaker to last with any outdoor exposure. I do in fact love these speakers and have them in two rooms currently and plan to expand to a whole-house. Completely indoors. I do have the external Yamaha Speakers which have served me well over the past few years. They are mounted in a case which may not give you the appearance you're going for. But no, these guys would not do well in an outdoor environment.

Not really. Even though it works well in closed spaces, this speaker isn't meant for the outdoors.

I have this, and sound wise, it was great for me. If you have other people who are in your group, who are also listening, it might not be as good for them...if they are close to you it'll be ok. I use in the city of Chicago, and it's hard to hear for others when they are across the street...traffic wise...but if they are on the same side of the street, and within 20 feet,they can hear just fine.

In my opinion this speaker is ideal for a backyard party. If you are at a beach where the sound will have to compete with ocean waves in a completely open space, this is not the best option. You may need to rent a full sized sound system. Consider powering it with a generator. That way you won't wonder if the music is loud or clear enough. After all, you do want the music to be great for your event. Happy wedding!

This is a great speaker, it may be too large for use in the car. I keep mine on a shelf in our 5th wheel trailer. You might look for something smaller.

I haven't used it outdoors, but it works so well indoors I would guess that it would work well outside too. I've not used it very long on the battery - it was plugged in when I used it, so I'm not sure about that. I will say that for what I paid, this has been an outstanding speaker system!

According to manufacturers info that came with mine, yes you can. It has a standared jack so I assume a outdoor speaker would work just fine.

Without question, it should work for that. I used it at an outdoor function for the homeowners association and it was great. It has both a hand held mike and a ear bud type so it should be perfect for your application.

Hello. This is a compact audio system and would be recommended primarily for indoor use and crowds of about 50-75 people. It could be used outdoors as long as conditions are dry, but again you would want to use only with smaller crowds. You would also want to consider the amount of area you need to cover with sound, as well as the existing ambient volume level around you. We would expect a rodeo to be loud and in a large arena, so you would most likely need a much larger, more powerful system. If you need to discuss possible options, please feel free to cal us and we would be glad to help! Y2PLAY - 1-800-695-4808. Thank you for your interest! Hello.
