Components of an Outdoor Media System 

When selecting the ideal components for your outdoor media system, it's crucial to consider the specific needs of your outdoor environment. Here's a look at some features you should include for optimal enjoyment. 

• Outdoor Speakers: For your landscape audio needs, we recommend using hard-wired solutions ideal for decks, porches, backyards, and pools. These systems include landscape speakers that blend with your garden and outdoor subwoofers that add depth with deep, musical bass. Though portable Bluetooth speakers are budget-friendly and flexible, permanent installations offer durability and superior sound quality.

• Outdoor TVs: Invest in a weather-resistant TV with the right brightness and IP rating for outdoor clarity and durability. Where will your TV live? Most manufacturers offer specific models for shaded, partly shaded, or direct sunlight applications. 

• Control: Integrate your outdoor speakers with your home audio system for easy access to all your favorite entertainment. Choose to manage everything from a dedicated touchpad, weatherproof remotes, or voice commands. 

By carefully considering these elements, you transform your outdoor area into a dynamic entertainment zone that perfectly suits your lifestyle and preferences.

Installation Tips for Outdoor Media Systems

Here's how you can achieve a seamless installation that is as fun as it is reliable:

• Wiring and Protection: Running wires through outdoor spaces is extremely difficult. We recommend working with a professional who knows the type of cabling and conduit to use and where to place wires to avoid damage. 

• Outdoor TV Placement: Our expert technicians also ensure your TV is secured properly using specialty mounts or brackets that will withstand its weight and external factors like wind. We'll also guarantee correct sightlines so everyone has a clear view.

• Outdoor Speaker Placement: Speakers should line your exterior and face inwards. This way, you can use your exterior wall to bolster the sound and keep sound from seeping out of your property and disrupting neighbors. Use more speakers to create a uniform sound so no one feels uncomfortable standing too close to the speakers.

• Maintenance and Care: All technology needs a little TLC. During maintenance visits, we'll check for any signs of corrosion, remove dust accumulation, and provide updates for greater system longevity.
