What Is the Best Waterproof Rating for Speakers?

Frustrated by speakers that die after one rainstorm? Water damage ruins sound quality and leads to costly returns. The right IP waterproof rating can protect your investment – but which one really works?

IPX7 is the gold standard for outdoor speakers, surviving immersion in 1m water for 30 minutes. Magplus IPX7-certified speakers combine military-grade protection with premium sound at factory-direct prices.

Let’s dive deeper into waterproof ratings and how to choose wisely.

How Does the IP Rating System Work?

IP ratings have two numbers: first for dust protection (0-6), second for water resistance (0-8).

Outdoor speakers focus on waterproofing (second digit). IPX5 resists splashes; IPX7 handles full immersion. Magplus tests all speakers in 1m water tanks for 30+ minutes.

Our IP67-rated models add complete dustproofing – perfect for desert festivals or construction sites. Each unit comes with authentic IP certification documentation.

IPX5 vs. IPX7: Which One Do You Need?

Choose based on your customers’ outdoor activities.

IPX5 suits poolside parties (water jets won’t harm it). IPX7 is essential for boaters and hikers – it survives accidental drops in water. Magplus offers both options with the same 20W output power.

Best-selling bundle: Pair our IPX7 speaker with floating strap (prevents sinking if dropped overboard). MOQ just 500 units for custom colors.

Can a Speaker Be Fully Waterproof? (IPX8 Explained)

IPX8 means continuous underwater use at specified depths.

Professional dive speakers need IPX8 (3m/60min protection). These cost 25-30% more but command premium pricing. Magplus IPX8 prototypes withstand 5m depths.

Ideal for snorkeling tours and marine equipment suppliers. We pressure-test each batch in simulated ocean conditions.

For most outdoor use, IPX7 offers perfect protection. Extreme conditions demand IPX8. Always verify claims with proper testing.
