Outdoor Audio Brings Backyards to Life

Music and entertainment elevate our everyday lives, becoming an essential part of the experiences and memories we come to cherish in our homes. Taking that experience outdoors extends the enjoyment, turning ordinary activities into something more. Summer is twice as fun with music playing behind every garden party, barbecue, and afternoon by the pool.

With today’s outdoor audio systems, exceptional experiences are born.

Here, we’ll explore two of the brands that offer ideal solutions for Reno’s climate: Sonance and Sonos.

The Outdoor Audio Experience

Whether enjoying the sun with friends or hosting an extravagant outdoor dinner party, music makes every outdoor moment that much better. Today’s systems have done away with one-directional music that’s hard to hear in some areas and eardrum-blowing in others.

Today, the experience is one of even coverage across your entire property. High-fidelity music follows you from space to space, whether relaxing by the pool, grilling on the patio, or wandering through the grounds.

These audio systems are designed for the great outdoors. They’re able to withstand the hot days of summer and occasional thunderstorms as well as the cold, snowy days of winter, ensuring a reliable and long-lived outdoor audio experience.

Sonance

Sonance was one of the first audio manufacturers to elevate the home audio experience through high-performance architectural speakers. When they extended their offerings to the outdoors, everyone’s backyards were transformed.

Through proper placement and design, Sonance landscape speakers blend in seamlessly with their surroundings while bringing crystal-clear audio and detailed music to every corner of your property. This music becomes an extension of your home: dynamic, immersive, and perfectly balanced.

They also provide customizable outdoor speaker solutions designed for poolside settings, patio ceilings, and masonry adaptations.

Sonos

Sonos outdoor speakers let you hear every detail in rich, high-quality audio. With a full range, clear vocals, and deep bass output, you can feel the soundstage envelop you.

Providing 360-degree coverage and wide-sound dispersion ensures every area of your property is covered. We can also add these speakers to your existing Sonos system, allowing you to extend indoor sound into your landscape.

Keeping the Sound Contained

While the sound these systems deliver is exceptional, your neighbors may not want to partake in your music selection. Strategic installation ensures enhanced acoustics without disturbing neighbors in Reno’s close-knit communities.

Placed along the perimeter of your property, under trees, in shrubs, and along pathways, they blend in seamlessly with your outdoor aesthetics while directing the sound toward your home and away from your neighbors.

More Than Music

Have you invested in a premier outdoor 4K UHD TV and want to integrate surround sound into the mix? These outdoor audio systems can oblige. Would you like to enable different audio zones so that some people can watch the big game on the patio while others are enjoying their favorite music by the pool? Zoning makes this possible.

These systems also integrate with the latest home automation platforms, becoming part of your smart home ecosystem. With a smartphone or tablet, you can select a playlist or change the volume right from the lounge chair. Your indoor and outdoor audio systems now act as one, enabling you to create a seamless experience, extending your indoor living to the great outdoors.

With today’s technology, if you envision it, our integrators and AV experts at Sierra Integrated Systems can create it.

Today, investing in outdoor entertainment is all about achieving an elevated experience. To learn more about enhancing the times spent outdoors and creating the perfect soundscape for every occasion, contact Sierra Integrated Systems.
