3 Ways to Bring Your Favorite Tunes Outdoors This Summer

It’s that time of year again for poolside parties, alfresco dining, and star gazing as the weather warms and the entertainment moves outdoors. Don’t throw lackluster get-togethers by forgetting one of the most important ingredients for fun outdoor hangouts: the music.

With a dedicated outdoor audio system, it’s easy to bring your favorite tunes to your backyard in Jacksonville, FL for any weekend party or evening of relaxation. From landscape speakers to a stereo setup on your patio and even a surround sound installation, we can deliver the perfect soundscape for your outdoor space. Explore three creative ways below.

Landscape Speakers

Landscape speakers are perfect for large, open backyards. Hidden strategically throughout your gardens and foliage, satellite landscape speakers and buried subwoofers offer high-fidelity sound while emulating the natural beauty of your outdoor environment.

Often installed in uncovered areas, this weatherproof setup withstands even the most extreme elements so you never have to worry about wear and tear. A landscape speaker setup is easily expandable, too. Bring clear, even sound from your patio to your pool, fireplace, cabana, and more so you never miss a beat no matter where you are.

Stereo Setup

For a smaller environment, such as a covered patio, a high-performance outdoor stereo system will do the trick. A stereo system creates a truly immersive sound experience for the listener, with dedicated left-channel and right-channel speakers and a subwoofer for a layered, triangular listening effect.

Because the left and right speakers are emitting two separate channels, it’s important not to install these speakers too far from each other to avoid only hearing one side of your songs. Whether you decide on in-ceiling or mounted box speakers, be sure to install them no more than about 10 feet apart for a full, musical soundscape.

Surround Sound

While creating the perfect surround sound experience outdoors may prove challenging, it’s not impossible. With strategically placed speakers and a multi-channel receiver, you can blanket your outdoor space in beautiful surround sound for any occasion.

However, to avoid a disjointed listening experience, we recommend you enjoy a surround sound setup in a controlled space of your backyard, such as your pool or patio. Like we mentioned in an outdoor stereo setup, covering too large of an open area with multi-channel speakers will cause you to hear only certain sides of your music as you walk around your outdoor spaces.
