Features and Specifications: Planter speakers can be used anywhere in the landscape and offer an unobtrusive way to get speakers close the patio. We provide our customers with rectangular planter speakers and round planter speakers. We also offer a stereo-input round planter model with dual tweeter and a dual-voice-coil woofer.
While other planter speakers use fake flowers for their disguise, ours are designed for real plants, with attention paid to providing adequate drainage for the soil. The sealed speaker portion keeps water away from the critical area.
Our omni planter speaker utilizes a downward-firing speaker that reflects its sound off of a dispersion plate, producing a 360-degree omni-directional sound. The dispersion plate, which forms the base of the planter, is designed to deliver high frequencies at 12-degrees above horizontal, so If you’re standing in the yard, the high frequencies aren’t being lost at your feet.

Questions and Answers:  By AJ from NC on April 30, 2012 This speaker has a 4 conductor connection. If I want to run this to my center channel on my receiver, can I combine the two (+) and two (-) wires to run a 2 conductor wire to the receiver? By Customer Service - Q&A on May 2, 2012Answer:AJ,
You wouldnt do that, rather just connect one positive and one negative leaving the other channel alone. This speaker is meant for a left and right but you can bypass one, by just connecting one of them.

TLBy bwchubb from gardenville, pa on August 1, 2012 what other components or amplifiers would i need to use these speakers with either itunes library from computer and or an iPod By Customer Service - Q&A on August 2, 2012Answer:Hi Bwchubb,
If you went with our AMP120 or our Rx4105 you could plug your ipod or laptop/ pc straight from the headphone jack into the back of the amp or receiver with an "rca to mini" cable. Our product code is OSD-MS-6ft.
Here is a link to the cable:

CL/MABy Vince from Crescent Springs, KY on December 9, 2012 Three questions
1. I am hooking up a pair of these to existing separate left and right channel run wire, Should i buy 2 525's or the pair of 520's ?
2. Will this fit in an 8" flower pot ring mounted to a wall ?
Here is what I was thinking of ...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E8V0GA/ref=asc_df_B001E8V0GA2292318?tag=thefind0222282-20&creative=395261&creativeASIN=B001E8V0GA&linkCode=asn
3. If not .. what is the size of the base ? By Customer Service - Q&A on December 11, 2012Answer:Hi Vince,
1) You will want a pair of the PS520 planter speakers.
2) Yes, it will fit into the ring. The base comes unattached so you can drop the planter into the ring. We would recommend attaching the base, which helps create the 360 sound field. But try it with and without and see which you like the best.
3) The base is less than 11"

1454By JUDI from CHICAGO ILLINOIS on April 26, 2012 IS THERE A LOCAL STORE TO PICK THIS UP AT? By Customer Service - Q&A on April 26, 2012Answer:Judi,
We would need to ship this to you as we are located in California.
CLBy glenn from Crystal river, FL on December 16, 2011 What would be the max wire length for these speakers and min wire gauge size?? By Customer Service - Q&A on December 19, 2011Answer:HI Glenn:
The longer the length we recomment a higher gauge; rule of thumb 1 to 80 feet use 16 gauge, 81 to 200 feet use 14 gauge and 200 and above 12 Gauge. You will have no problem running these over 300 feet.

Great Little Speaker
April 11, 2013
I love this planter speaker. It is not to big but big enough to put out great sound. Easy to put together and looks great. Wish I would have bought another one before they went up $20 more. Overall I am super happy w/ this speaker just need some plant now to finish it off.
Pros:just the right size
great sound
Cons:none as of right now

Little planter with big sound
December 17, 2012
This planter is hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-519 along with
2 rock speakers in a 4 channel configuration. The sound is very
full and has good stereo seperation due to its duel tweeter design.
The planter has a rattle at any sound level without anything in the
top. I have rocks placed inside and the rattle goes away. Over all
the sound is nice and full with bright notes and nice bass. Great
for the money. The cabinet could be built better. Maybe its just
the one I got that suffers because it looks good.
Pros:Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up
Best Uses:Outdoors

Good, Solid Product
September 14, 2012
Speaker is useful and sounds very good. Does require the
left and right signals so I needed to run the 4-conductor wire.
Much better choice for me than having a "rock" sitting around my
deck and I am Very Happy that I looked here for a speaker product.
Would not hesitate to order from OSD again good quality, packaging
and shipping.
Pros:Good Power Output, Easy To Set Up
Best Uses:Home, Outdoors, Basic Systems

Very Good Stereo Planter
August 22, 2012
Very attractive design and it grows impatiens quite
nicely. Be careful to wire correctly (positive to positive /
negative to negative) as crossing the wires (positive to negative)
will render almost zero sound due to cancellation. Sound is very
good although the mid-range (voice) is lacking. Fortunately, I'm
running this off an old school stereo with a 14-band equalizer
which can easily adjust for it weaker performance in this range.
Overall, I love the inconspicuous nature of the "flower pot" on the
patio and the quality music and/or baseball game it brings to the
outdoors.
Pros:Easy To Set Up, Attractive Design
Best Uses:Home, Outdoors

It adds to the decor of the deck
June 19, 2012
I used the outdoor speakers to provide music to my deck
and patio. I found it easy to set up and was pleased with the sound
quality. The drain hole at the bottom makes it an excellent holder
for flower pots.
Pros:Great Sound Quality, Easy to Mount, Good Power Output, Easy To Set Up, Attractive Design

having huge speakers out there. My wife loves the look and function
of them!

We purchased these speakers when we built our patio last
summer. We were very suprised at the sound quality that the
speakers provided. We recieve compiments on both the design and
sound quality whenever we entertain on the new patio. The speakers
sat out all winter and they still sound great! I highly recomend
these speakers. Great value, great sound!!
