Experience Immersive, All-Encompassing Music and Sound

Are you still taking your Bluetooth with you when you head to your backyard? Or maybe you're listening to the big game or your favorite music via an older one-directional under-eave speaker. For those of you who haven’t looked into outdoor audio for some time, prepare to be amazed. 

As outdoor living became a way of life and homeowners wanted the same level of entertainment to extend to their outdoor areas, some of the best audio manufacturers responded. The result? 

No more bulky equipment or one-directional sound that’s barely heard in some areas and blasts eardrums out in others. Today, you can have the same even coverage across your entire property, hearing every note through a wide dynamic range—the reproduction of sound as your favorite musicians intended. 

Let’s see how it’s done.

Extending High-Fidelity Sound into the Great Outdoors

Outdoor audio has always been a challenge. With no walls to contain it, the sound waves dissipate, and the bass response—that clear low frequency so important to the impactful listening experience—diminishes. To overcome this, outdoor speakers must play louder, making for hard-to-hear conversations and some not-so-happy neighbors.

Today’s landscape speakers resolve this. Strategically placed throughout your property, they blend in with the flora, pathways, and architecture. This approach covers any size area, from a small patio and pool to a large, expansive estate. The result is a perfectly balanced soundscape with even coverage and crystal-clear detail. 

For covered patios, pergolas, and pool houses, outdoor in-wall and in-ceiling speakers retain the discreet design while delivering exceptional performance. 

Throughout the Seasons

Advancements in technology and materials have created outdoor speakers that can go the distance in any type of weather. Weather-resistant materials protect against rain, snow, humidity, and extreme temperatures. From pool parties and barbecues in the summer to the beauty of a winter wonderland, you can enjoy the ideal high-performance music that makes every activity that much better. 

Different Audio in Different Areas

Zoning lets our audio experts at Sierra Integrated Systems create different areas where friends and family can enjoy different audio. One group may want to listen to the big game on the patio or watch it on your new outdoor TV. Another prefers to lounge by the pool, listening to a summer playlist. In the winter, your entire home and outdoor areas may ring out with the Zac Brown Band’s “Colder Weather.”

When set up in separate zones, this and much more is possible. 

For Every Occasion

Until you experience the latest outdoor audio systems, it’s difficult to imagine how they’ll impact your life. Consider an outdoor gathering with friends, whether an elegant champagne and appetizer garden party or a boisterous pool party and barbecue. Now add impressive music that aligns with the occasion and covers your entire property, evenly and eloquently, from discreet speakers that are all but hidden. 

It's the kind of music that makes people stop and listen, even lose their train of thought mid-conversation. And it’s a whole different experience without it. 

Managing Your New Audio System

When integrated with a home automation platform, you can control it all from the same easy-to-use device that manages your indoor and outdoor lighting, shades, climate, and indoor entertainment. Press a button when it’s time for alfresco dining, and the patio and landscape lights reveal a beautiful outdoor setting while soft jazz fills the air.

From morning yoga to family game nights and outdoor movie nights under the stars, everything is better with today’s outdoor audio. To learn more about the many options for outdoor speakers, contact Sierra Integrated Systems today.
