4 Awesome Ways to Enjoy Your Outdoor Audio This Spring

By Marcus Lovely · Originally published February 18, 2019

On the grand authority of Punxsutawney Phil, we know the crisp spring weather is just around the corner here in Southeast Texas. Making the most of spring before the muggy summer temperatures sneak in is a big priority for many of our clients. And no outdoor entertainment upgrade is in higher demand than a high-performance, immersive sound system.

Lose yourself in the cool breeze and under the starlight with the perfect playlist. Listen to your favorite podcasts or sports teams while tanning by the pool or jogging in the backyard. How you use your outdoor audio installation is up to you, but why not get you started with some of our favorite uses?

In this blog, we highlight how to get high-quality sound to your outdoor spaces and the best way to enjoy it at your home in the Bellaire area or beyond.

The Benefits of a Professionally-Installed System

Sound can be hard to master outdoors for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, you can go wrong right off the bat by bringing out devices that can’t brave the elements. Ruining expensive electronics is never a good start! There’s also the inherent challenge of achieving powerful audio when there is so much ambient noise and no walls to contain the sound.

Having a professional install your system helps you avoid all of these problems. An expert will know the best products designed for outside use and the optimal speaker and subwoofer layout to ensure you get an even sound field throughout all your outdoor areas. Keep vulnerable sources indoors and embrace easy-to-use control solutions that let you pull up your audio and adjust the volume on the go. This blog goes more in-depth into the steps to a successful outdoor audio installation.

The Best Ways to Use Your Outdoor Audio

Everyone should find unique ways to use audio outdoors, which is why it's essential to build a custom, easy-to-use system that allows you to get creative. If you don’t have any ideas top of mind, don’t worry. We’ve outlined some of our favorite uses below:

• A Relaxing Escape: Do you need to blow off some steam after a tough day at work? A smooth drink, fresh breeze, and a soothing playlist are what you need. Sit back and relax on your patio chair and cue up your favorite post-work playlist to unwind.
• A Party Booster: Do you often host friends for pool parties or cookouts? Get the party going with an energizing playlist! One of the benefits of an outdoor audio system is the ability to create distinct zones. Throughout the day, have an upbeat soundtrack playing for the kids by the pool and classic rock for the adults sitting by the grill.
• A Seamless Workout: Break a sweat from your workout, not from getting audio to work. Listen to curated workouts from Audible.com, Nike, and others without having to worry about carrying your phone or keeping your headphones on. Enjoy the sound through your outdoor speakers whether you're doing yoga on the porch or running through the backyard.
• An Outdoor Home Theater: If you want to enjoy a movie under the stars or invite some friends over for the Astros’ season opener, connect your audio system to an outdoor TV and take your home theater experience outside. We can even recreate a surround sound setup outdoors to get you the same immersive audio experience you’re used to indoors.
