Revel M80XC Review (Outdoor Speaker)

I think it's by design, too. An outdoor speaker is usually heard at a higher distance than an indoor one, so air absorption needs to be considered. Of course, out of axis is an issue as well.

Indeed. And often may be used at relatively low db given the area covered AND ambient outside noise levels so there maybe be a bit intentional boost to compensate

Do manufacturers of outdoor speakers take into account the dirt and gunk that will accumulate on the diaphragms of speakers used or left outside? Especially tweeters? Seems like that might affect response over time and initial brightness might fade

Did you mount your M80XC's on ceiling or on wall?

To the ceiling. The installers found joists to mount them to.

Last year I nabbed a pair of these in white on sale. Looking for a 2nd pair at similar price...
