Whether you’re entertaining family and friends or just enjoying your own private oasis, the right landscape audio surround sound system can help set the mood. And while many homeowners choose to use portable speakers they carry outside from the house or connect via Bluetooth, installing a wired backyard speaker system is often an even better solution.
A professionally installed landscape audio system can produce incredible sound, fill your entire yard with it, and blend seamlessly with the aesthetics of your landscaping design. The main components of a landscape audio system are an amplifier, a source (bluetooth or hardwired), and speakers. Some systems also include a subwoofer designed to reproduce low frequencies that give music more depth and fullness.
Because the great outdoors lack walls to bounce sound off of, a high-quality landscape audio system is key. To ensure that everyone in your yard can hear your music, multiple speakers, evenly spaced, are needed. This ensures that there are no “audio gaps,” and allows you to keep the volume down without disturbing anyone.
The best landscape audio systems are specifically built for outdoor spaces and include features that allow them to withstand the elements, including sun, wind, rain, dirt, bugs and other debris. This helps the equipment stay protected and in good working order so that it can continue to deliver amazing sound.
A landscape audio system that is professionally installed will often feature a weatherproof outdoor amplifier and speakers that are designed to blend in with the environment, making them virtually invisible. For example, you can install rock speakers in your yard that look like natural stone or brick, allowing them to be easily incorporated into your landscaping design. These can be placed near the pool or even under your patio to maximize the sound coverage in these areas.
Another advantage of having a professionally installed landscape audio system is the ability to integrate it with your smart home automation so that you can control your system using your favorite smartphone app. This gives you the ultimate in convenience and allows you to schedule your landscape audio system to turn on automatically when you arrive home, for instance, or to play soft background music during a dinner party.
