Design a Comprehensive System
Usually, there are two standard approaches to DIY outdoor audio. The simplest way to enjoy music outside is to bring out a Bluetooth speaker, but this leads to very limited coverage and poor audio quality. The other way is to go with a few speakers mounted on exterior walls. While the quality may be better, coverage is uneven and limited to the areas closest to the house.
Instead, we recommend a comprehensive outdoor speaker system featuring wall-mounted speakers, landscape speakers, rock speakers and pool speakers. These are professionally laid out to create a perimeter around your home and face inward to take advantage of your exterior walls, create reverberation and boost volume. This also keeps sound from creeping into the neighboring homes, so you can hear your music without upsetting the community.
Create Dedicated Audio Zones
Do you have an expansive outdoor area with a patio, pool and backyard? One of the benefits of the comprehensive system outlined above is the ability to create discrete audio zones. While the children enjoy an upbeat playlist by the pool, a relaxing playlist broadcasts for a yoga session on the grass through the landscape speakers. We do our best to ensure minimal sound seeps from one zone to the other and offer intuitive control. It'll be easy for family members to pull up their media and choose where to play it, whether in one zone, two zones or your entire outdoor living area.
Utilize Dedicated Outdoor Speakers
Relying on indoor speakers for your outdoor audio will result in damaged equipment and subpar performance. Instead, use IP-rated speakers built to withstand the elements and deliver powerful enough sound to deal with ambient noise like wind or passing traffic. We work with TruAudio, which offers in-ceiling, landscape and patio speakers, along with outdoor subwoofers. Their outdoor speaker systems include speakers, subwoofers and an amplifier to make it easy to scale to any size outdoor environment.
An outdoor speaker system is a great place to start if you want to get more out of your outdoor spaces in the warmer months.
