UV resistance: long-term sea sunshine will make the sound shell aging, discoloration, affecting the appearance and performance, should choose a sound with anti-UV function, such as the use of special anti-UV materials or coating products.

Corrosion resistance: the salt content of seawater air is high, the internal circuit of the audio should have anti-corrosion coating, and the metal parts should be made of anti-corrosion materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, etc.

Temperature resistance: the sea day and night, seasonal temperature difference is large, the sound should be able to work normally in the operating temperature range of -5 ℃ to 55℃ and -20 ℃ to 70℃ storage temperature range.
