Hello everyone and good morning,
I have been considering for several weeks whether to install a radio in the bathroom on the upper floor or not. If yes, which model would be best and how should I handle the speakers? If I do install a radio, I would like to have two ceiling speakers, not placed directly next to the radio unit...
However, I already have a TV connection and network cables in the bathroom. Sooner or later, a waterproof TV (does it really need to be fully waterproof if it won’t be exposed to splashing water?) will also be installed there. That also allows for radio reception. Is it really worth spending around 200 euros on a radio then?
Who has a radio in their bathroom and can’t imagine living without it? Who has a TV there and mainly uses it for sound or news during their morning routine?
Best regards,
Michael

Sorry for my blunt response, but what’s all the fuss about? Everyone should realize their own ideas, of course, but all that fuss in the bathroom? I just can’t quite understand it.

I know many people who have a radio/CD player there. It’s a nice addition to the bathroom (in the sense of bathing). Personally, I find a TV in the bathroom unnecessary, but everyone is free to decide for themselves.

KermitMaybe I enjoy taking long baths? Maybe my partner spends a lot of time in the bathroom? As you already said, everyone should realize their own ideas. I’m sure there’s something in your own home construction that makes me shake my head, too.

Sir_Kermit7 Jul 2016 07:16Hello,
Yes, we once briefly tried something similar. Since our bathtub hasn’t been used for many years (our new house therefore won’t have one), I can understand that, but it’s not an option for us personally. However – TV and network connections? I just can’t understand that at all. I’m not able/willing to judge, it’s a matter of personal preference, but I want to be able to evaluate the reasons for myself. Maybe there is a reason I haven’t considered that could actually be quite interesting.

ps: Our new home is oriented more towards being a retirement residence and as barrier-free or accessible as possible. Some of our ideas may seem terribly old-fashioned and completely outdated to others, but those would be the things that might be totally incomprehensible to others – or actually are.

Sebastian797 Jul 2016 07:25We also have network and satellite connections in our bathroom – which is, of course, quite unusual.
Additionally, there are two speakers in the ceiling that are controlled by the system in the living room – switchable via a button. I can then select the program using a smartphone app.
In the children’s bathroom, we have “just” a Gira in-wall radio with two ceiling speakers, and in the basement bathroom there is nothing at all – so you have to put a separate speaker there.
