Ensure You Get High-Quality Sound Without Disrupting the Neighbors

If you’ve ever used a Bluetooth speaker or boombox to listen to music outdoors, you know how inconvenient and inefficient it is. Not only is it hard to hear if you’re a few feet away, but if the weather turns sour, you have to rush indoors to avoid ruined equipment. Getting good high-quality audio outdoors can be a headache when you try to do it on your own – especially if you have a luxury home with large living areas. 

Our team has heard a lot about these headaches since most people reach out to us once they realize the limitations of their DIY setups. But what if you could avoid the hassle from the start in your Westchester, NY, home? Below we outline some ways a professional installation lets you avoid common outdoor audio system issues.

Equipment Breaking Down 

Beyond the annoyance of having to bring speakers in and out to listen to music, it’s very easy for indoor speakers to break down outdoors. The dangers are endless, from getting splashed with water to dirt falling on them to a disorderly guest bumping them off a table.

The best way to avoid these issues is to install permanent, outdoor-rated speakers. These are made of rust-proof metal and tightly sealed designs to protect them from water, debris, and extreme temperatures. They can stay out year-long and are ready for use whenever you want.

Limited Music Options 

Consider the common boombox/Bluetooth solutions we outlined above. They have one other problem: limited options. Each only allows you to access certain sources. The former limited you to radio and a CD. The latter is a slight improvement since it’s easy to incorporate streaming services for exponentially more options.

But what if you want to pull up the audio from your TV? Or even have your favorite record playing through outdoor speakers? A professional installation connects your outdoor speakers to your multi-room audio system. So, whatever you listen to indoors, you’ll be able to hear outside.

Weak, Poor-Quality Audio 

Another issue with standard DIY installations is that those small portable speakers are not equipped to pierce through outdoor ambient sound from wind, traffic or people. They also can’t project their sound through expansive outdoor spaces, so only those nearby hear the music.

Instead, we recommend full outdoor audio systems featuring multiple speakers lining your outdoor areas. These speakers have greater power than indoor ones and are directional – aiming sound at a specific area to better cut through the noise. 

Disrupting the Neighbors 

Say you were able to bring out multiple powerful indoor speakers to have sound throughout your patio, yard and pool. Unfortunately, you'd likely have to ramp up the volume to get the clarity you wanted. And while you may be basking in the music, your neighbors are seething over it.

The benefit of the outdoor audio layout we outlined above is these directional speakers are faced inward only to send audio signals back toward your home. We keep sound from seeping into nearby territories, and your exterior walls also help bolster the sound for robust sound at a lower volume.

 

Create the perfect soundtrack for any activity with a professional outdoor audio system. Our team will find the right speakers, layout and control solution for the ultimate outdoor escape. Reach out for a one-on-one consultation by calling or filling out our contact form
