Bathroom Audio

[anonymous-user]

Hello

Just doing out my bathroom and would like to fit a speaker. Can anyone recommend one?

Also, can I connect it to my sky system so that I get the audio source from that? Music channel etc, if so how would I go about this?

If this is not possible I guess I am looking for recommendations for a bathroom speaker/radio.

Thanks

Surprised the experts haven't chipped in, so as much to bump.

First, normal form is waterproof ceiling speakers. Mine were KEF but at the time I believe they were running out stock. Google bathroom speakers and you'll get a list. If you have living space above, sound deadening/shields are a wise addition. Expect sound to be decent, but not audiophile. Still, highly effective.

The source has to be waterproof as well, or outside the room. You may consider a normal hifi unit, perhaps in the bedroom with two speaker outputs? (make sure the speaker select button is on the front face). Make sure you have a "default" setting (e.g. CD with repeat, or some mp3 package, radio), so you don't have to dick about when you are about to jump in the shower.

For TV sound, I think your simplest option is a TV or digibox piping sound into the alt option on your amplifier.

In short, I'm suggesting a TV/HiFi combo in your bedroom, with an extra set of speakers plumbed into the bathroom. Rough & ready, but very effective.

have you seen the youtube vid of the bloke putting his sonos controller under the kitchen tap, and then fully submerging it...

apparently there are quite a few owners who take their controller into the shower with them!

I'm itching to have a go at doing this. It's on the (very long) to do list. I was given a Revo Pico http://www.revo.co.uk/digital-radio/revo-pico.php that I use in the bathroom. It's very good - splashproof, rechargeable, inputs/outputs etc.

A Russound single point stereo speaker will do the trick. You need to speak to Plotloss:
