ᐅ Radio in the Bathroom – Yes or No

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

Hello Sebastian,

I turn on the receiver and the music starts playing in 4 rooms. On the receiver, you can switch off the speakers in pairs.
Volume is controlled on the receiver.

Well, that’s kind of a makeshift solution then...

Quite a lot of effort with planning, installing speaker cables, creating recesses for speakers – just to run cheap speakers on a very old, basic receiver in the end. What’s the point of that? And what do you use it for? Radio? And which rooms?

I have a modern receiver with 3 zones. Unfortunately, no cables were planned back then for that. However, I could still connect speakers wirelessly. Control would be possible throughout the house via tablet or remote control (Logitech Harmony).

Well, the planning isn’t complicated – and which type of troughs do you mean?
