Clear, durable outdoor sound starts with the right speaker solution. When Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions needed weatherproof speakers for customer installations, they were looking for products that could withstand outdoor conditions, fit customer budgets, and be available when projects needed to move forward.

Based in Cape Coral, Florida, Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions is an A/V, lighting, and sound integrator with more than 90 years of combined experience in commercial sound system installation, service, and repair. The company supports a wide variety of projects, including houses of worship, educational facilities, entertainment venues, and other commercial spaces. Over the years, their team has built turnkey systems in audio, lighting, and video for customers who need practical, reliable performance in real-world environments.

Project Overview

Jeff Ison with Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions originally found Pure Resonance Audio in March of 2022 while searching for commercial outdoor speakers as an alternative to one of their regular manufacturers, which was experiencing major back-order issues. They needed a dependable solution that could support ongoing customer projects without forcing long delays or pushing budgets too high.

The original goal was to find weather-resistant speakers that could perform in outdoor settings while still making sense for customers who wanted dependable performance at a practical price point. As an experienced integrator serving many different businesses and facilities, Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions needed a product line with flexible options that could work across multiple environments, including marinas, schools, worship spaces, and other commercial audio installations.

The Challenge

Outdoor audio projects come with unique demands. Equipment must operate in environments where heat, moisture, harsh weather, and sun exposure can affect long-term reliability. For Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions, the need was specifically for outdoor surface-mount speakers that were weather-ready, easy to specify, and cost-effective. The weatherproof speakers needed to be suitable for daily use, visually appropriate for customer-facing spaces, and flexible enough to work across different project types.

Like many integrators, they also had to balance expectations across other types of projects. Some customers prioritize premium audio performance, while others need a system that delivers the right combination of durability, coverage, and value. That made product availability, ease of use, and overall fit especially important.

The Solution

Since Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions placed their first order with Pure Resonance Audio and became a registered dealer, what began as a test purchase has developed into an ongoing relationship.

Their team relies on Pure Resonance Audio for a variety of products, with a strong emphasis on commercial outdoor speakers. They chose solutions that aligned with the types of projects they regularly support, including church audio systems, school sound systems, and other outdoor commercial audio installations.

The relationship was also strengthened by the support they received throughout the process. Jeff shared, "Andrew McPherson was our representative, and he has been amazing to work with. He was very knowledgeable and displayed great customer service." That level of support is especially valuable when integrators are evaluating a new product line and recommending it to their own customers.

Over the course of multiple projects, a few challenges arose, which is not uncommon in real-world commercial sound system installations. When support was needed, our team worked closely with Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions to help ensure they were taken care of throughout the process.

Equipment Used

Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions has ordered a range of Pure Resonance Audio products over the years to support different commercial audio system needs. These three outdoor speakers in particular stand out as the most purchased items to date:

  1. Pure Resonance Audio S5 4.5" 70 Volt Indoor/Outdoor Surface Mount Speaker - Black
    A compact surface-mount speaker designed for indoor and outdoor 70-volt applications. This was the most frequently ordered product, with 77 units purchased across multiple projects.

  2. Pure Resonance Audio S8.1 8" Premium 70V Indoor/Outdoor Surface Mount Loudspeaker
    A larger premium surface-mount speaker designed for outdoor and commercial applications requiring fuller sound and broader coverage.

  3. Pure Resonance Audio S12 12" High Output 2-Way Full-Range All-Weather Loudspeaker
    A high-output loudspeaker option for outdoor spaces that require stronger audio projection and more powerful full-range sound.

However, they've also purchased the following products to help complete their variety of commercial sound system designs:

Installation & Setup

Because Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions serves a wide variety of customers, flexibility was important. Their projects required equipment that could support different spaces, layouts, and installation needs.

For outdoor applications, Pure Resonance Audio weatherproof speakers and surface-mount designs deliver full-range sound quality with resilient, long-lasting performance. Built for demanding environments, they feature durable, weather-resistant construction and are designed for quick and easy installation with included heavy-duty mounting brackets and hardware.

For indoor commercial applications, ceiling speakers, mixer-amplifiers, and paging microphones supported background music, paging, and communication needs.

This allowed Creative Sound & Lighting Solutions to use Pure Resonance Audio products across different types of installations, from church audio systems to school sound systems and other commercial audio projects.
