Finding the Best Audio Solutions for Your Outdoor&nbsp;Spaces

Entertainment shouldn’t have to be limited to your indoor spaces. All you need is the right equipment to bring your favorite music, movies, or sports outdoors when the weather is just right in North Texas. A great <avb-link data-href="https://integratedlifestylesinc.com/residential-solutions/outdoor-living#audio" class="dsg-tools-blog-link">outdoor speaker</avb-link> braves the weather and delivers crisp, powerful sound that pierces through the ambient sound, no matter how expansive your property. See how outdoor speakers differ from indoor ones to ensure you get the best quality possible in your Lakewood area&nbsp;home. 



Leverage Weatherproof Equipment
Many people make the mistake of using indoor speakers outdoors, opening up their equipment to damage and voided warranties. Outdoor speakers come prepared to deal with the elements. Typically, manufacturers like our partners at Origin Acoustics put their products through extensive stress testing to see how they’ll perform in adverse weather conditions before rating them for outdoor&nbsp;applications.

These speakers include special durable coatings made of steel, aluminum, or brass resistant to rust, heat, moisture, and sunlight. On top of that, they have cabinets with watertight finishes so that water doesn’t leak into the speaker and ruin the internal&nbsp;components.

An often underestimated aspect of weatherproofing your sound system is how it connects to your sources. We use outdoor-rated cables with watertight connectors and sturdy casings for ultimate reliability during your&nbsp;installation.

Add the Necessary Power to Your Speakers
Very few indoor speakers have the power needed to fill the large outdoor spaces on luxury estates. Outdoor speakers are built to be more powerful than interior ones, able to carry signals across large areas. You then need to pair them with the right amplifier for the&nbsp;job.

Listen to crisp sound no matter the size of your space or amount of ambient sound by using a 70 or 100-volt amplifier. Install these outdoors and take advantage of preloaded DSP settings that let us calibrate the sound to your home’s unique&nbsp;requirements.

Vibrant Sound at Your Command
Enjoy powerful, uniform sound throughout your yard with these outdoor speakers strategically placed around your property. During installation, we’ll connect your outdoor sound installation with the rest of your multi-room audio or <avb-link data-href="https://integratedlifestylesinc.com/residential-solutions/home-automation" class="dsg-tools-blog-link">home automation system</avb-link>. With the press of a button on a mobile app or weatherproof remote, you can choose what you want to listen to, pick where you want to listen, and adjust the&nbsp;volume.

Outdoor Speakers vs. Indoor Speakers: What’s the Difference?

What makes the summer great? The kids are out of school, the weather is warm, and there’s plenty of late-day sunlight to enjoy a backyard barbeque.

Make Your Backyard the Place to Be this Summer
What makes the summer great? The kids are out of school, the weather is warm, and there’s plenty of late-day sunlight to enjoy a backyard barbeque. But just because you get to spend more time outside doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your favorite music and video content. An <avb-link data-href="https://integratedlifestylesinc.com/residential-solutions/outdoor-living" class="dsg-tools-blog-link">outdoor entertainment system</avb-link> is one of the easiest and best ways to get the most out of your Dallas, TX backyard this summer. Want to learn more? Here are the three things you need to get&nbsp;started.



Outdoor Display
You can enjoy movies and TV outside with an outdoor video display. Whether you want to watch your favorite films under the stars with a traditional projector-and-screen combination, or you want to catch the Texas Rangers game on a big screen flat-panel, you can do it with full 4K resolution and an ultra-bright&nbsp;display.

Why ultra-bright? Because ambient lighting conditions can cause glare and wash out the image on the screen. If you’re using a projector, your integrator will often recommend a rear-projection setup. That means the projector sits behind a specially designed screen to provide the brightest possible&nbsp;image.

For flat-panel displays, ultra-bright systems can often be enjoyed in anything but direct sunlight. They’re perfect for covered patios and other shaded areas. Their water-tight, weather-proof casing means they’ll survive in most outdoor conditions. And you don’t have to worry about size limitations – some manufacturers build them up to&nbsp;80-inches.

Outdoor Speakers
Outdoor speakers are slightly different from their indoor counterparts. Where indoor speakers are built from delicate wood and metals to create the perfect sound, outdoor units are made from durable materials to generate enough volume to overcome ambient outdoor&nbsp;sounds.

Whether you’re interested in wall-mounted units for your deck or patio, garden speakers that blend with the surrounding foliage, or semi-buried systems that offer a lot of power with few components, you can build a system that works for your&nbsp;needs.

Networking
The final piece of the outdoor entertainment puzzle is the network. A properly configured network will allow you to stream music and movies from services like Spotify and Netflix, control other devices like smart lights and integrated irrigation systems, and browse the internet on your smartphone or&nbsp;tablet.

For most outdoor solutions, a hardwired network is best. Cables are buried underground, connecting indoor sources (racked in a basement or closet) to outdoor endpoints. Along the way, you may also connect outdoor amplifiers and subwoofers to provide the power you need to each of your&nbsp;speakers.

Your integrator can design a network solution that’s right for your home. If you want to get started today, <avb-link data-href="https://integratedlifestylesinc.com/contacts">click here</avb-link>.
