Spend More Time Outside with Audio and Video Designed for the Great Outdoors
We've recently discussed the incredible world of home entertainment spaces and how smart home technology has transformed these areas. In this, our third installment, we’d like to take it outside and cover one of our great passions—outdoor audio-video.
There’s something incredibly relaxing and almost life-changing when your outdoor area becomes an extension of your home. You spend time enjoying nature with friends and family, watching movies under the stars, or listening to your favorite musicians as music fills your landscape.
We know it's February and the chilliest of days are not yet behind us in Salt Lake City, UT, or our neighboring communities. In fact, snow may very well be in the forecast. However, spring is approaching, and, really, what better time than now to dream about what the summer might bring.
The Transformation of Outdoor Audio-Video
It doesn’t seem that long ago that our outdoor entertainment spaces were made up of under-eave speakers and maybe a few rock speakers stashed among our petunias. If there was one, the TV was small and tucked away, protected from the elements.
Today’s technology has truly revolutionized our outdoor spaces with equipment that rivals our indoor entertainment.
Audio
Now, beautiful architectural speakers can be found at the perimeter of your outdoor space, delivering high-fidelity sound throughout your gardens, patios, and pool area. Today’s durable, all-weather speakers can face Utah’s storms unphased, and in-ground subwoofers deliver the deep impactful bass without disturbing your yard’s aesthetics.
Sonance, one of our favorite brands, delivers incredible outdoor sound from small satellite speakers and subwoofers strategically placed among the foliage. This premier outdoor audio offers even coverage throughout the whole space, no matter how large an estate. It’s the type of sound that fills the air and can transport you to another place and time.
Video
Many homeowners opt for the latest 4K UHD TVs designed for outdoor entertainment. As this market expands, so do the industry-leading companies making outdoor TVs. These robust displays can withstand the harshest environments while delivering crystal-clear images.
Séura is one of the leading brands in this space. They offer TVs designed for full sun or shaded areas and are made to withstand snow, rain, and dust. In addition, the screens are three times brighter than your indoor TV so that you can watch the big game or your favorite movies in bright sunlight. Up to 85-inches, they redefine what outdoor entertainment can be.

Total Control
Even the best outdoor entertainment space will go unused if it’s not easy to operate. By integrating the outdoor audio-video with your home’s distributed audio-video system, it’s as easy as one-touch control. Simply pick your audio and video source from your touchscreen, tablet, or smartphone, and music, movies, or the latest binge-worthy series are yours to enjoy.
