It\u2019s important to understand what this rating stands for as well as the different levels of protection these ratings represent\u00a0to ensure you\u2019re getting the right kind of environmental protection to suit your needs and environment; for example, the IP rating for outdoor use of a device will likely need to be higher than that for an indoor audio device.\r\n\r\nIP ratings are particularly important for audio equipment, such as stereos, speakers, subwoofers, and other devices designed for environments where liquids and\/or solids could threaten the efficacy and lifespan\u00a0of a\u00a0device.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong>IP stands for \u201cIngress Protection\u201d.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\u201cIngress\u201d means \u201cto enter\u201d and in this sense refers to water or dust entering an electrical device, a problem that typically interferes with or results in a total breakdown of the device in question.\u00a0Ingress protection or the IP Rating of a device\u00a0is a technical term used to refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure designed to keep water and dust out.\u00a0Seeking out products with the right IP rating for your needs and the\u00a0environment\u00a0they are going to be used in\u00a0is one of the best ways you can ensure you are purchasing a product that is correct for your purposes and less likely to need a speedy and\/or expensive replacement after exposure to the elements.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong>A device\u2019s IP rating lets you know how protected it is from the intrusion of liquids or solids.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAn IP rating includes two numbers, the first of which refers to a device\u2019s protection against intruding solids, while the second refers to a device\u2019s protection against intruding liquids (i.e. it\u2019s \u201cwaterproofness\u201d). The highest\u00a0level of protection against\u00a0solid intrusion is\u00a06, while the highest level of liquid intrusion is 9k. Common IP ratings typically range from 65-68, providing different levels of protection for\u00a0different situations. To determine the IP rating of a product, it must be independently tested by a certified company. The IP rating\u00a0can usually be found in the specifications list or \u201cspec sheet\u201d included with a product; while the spec sheet can often be found in a product\u2019s user manual, it should also be visible wherever the product is for sale, be it online or on the product\u2019s physical packaging.\r\n<h3><\/h3>\r\n<h4><strong>Understanding IP ratings is important for anyone who may need to purchase audio devices\u00a0for use in a wet or harsh\u00a0environment.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMarine, motorcycle, powersport, and spa enthusiasts are notable\u00a0groups of people that could benefit from understanding IP ratings, especially in regard to their respective sound systems. Whether a biker is looking to purchase a new head unit stereo that can stand up to the wind and rain, or a boater is looking for a new set of speakers that can stand up to ocean spray and salt, audio equipment\u00a0can be particularly susceptible to damage from water and dust if not properly designed and manufactured; not only can this damage affect the sound quality, but may prevent the equipment from working altogether.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong>Aquatic AV prides itself on creating durable, waterproof audio products for a variety of challenging environments.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAquatic AV in particular understands the importance of thorough testing and\u00a0reliable IP ratings so that everyone from outdoor adventurers to spa enthusiasts can make responsible purchases that will allow them to continue listening to their favorite music as long as possible, without worrying about damage from water, salt\/fog\/UV, and even heat and chemicals.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have questions about IP ratings or about\u00a0how to choose the right audio\u00a0products for your environment?
