WHICH OUTDOOR SPEAKERS DO I NEED?
Surface mount, Landscape, Lifestyle, Architectural? What's the deal with all these different terms? Outside speakers over the years have evolved and for the better! Which speaker style is completely up to you and for the most part you wont be losing any quality, especially when you have us help design your system. Of course there are always pros and cons to each outdoor speaker which our friendly staff will help you understand and decide which is best for your preference before investing. We can also stop by and offer you a demo. Here are the 3 basic categories to get you started on your outdoor sound experience.
TRADITIONAL OUTDOOR SPEAKERS
Traditional outdoor speakers, also called surface mount speakers, are completely enclosed in a weather proof casing. They also include a rust proof grill, bracket and corrosion free wire connections. Because they are similar to indoor book shelf speakers you can expect the same great sound you enjoy indoors. These outdoor speakers have a 3in to 8in driver and a 1in tweeter. The larger 8in driver series are louder and produce a wider range of frequencies which also enhance the lower bass notes.
LANDSCAPE
SPEAKERS
Landscape speakers are similar to indoor speakers but they are weatherproof and have the ability to be camouflaged throughout your landscape. Some different types of landscape speakers include tear drop, rock and bollard styles. They are usually smaller than their traditional outdoor speakers mentioned earlier so they can blend in around your property. Because they are smaller you may need more to have a unified sound field which we will explain further down the page.
LIFESTYLE
OUTDOOR SPEAKERS
You want a great outdoor sound system but you are not impressed with speakers hanging off the side of your home, we completely understand and we can help. Lifestyle or architectural outdoor speakers are a newer category but absolutely necessary for our more discerning clients. These include planter, bench, sphere, pendant and other designer speakers. Call us to discuss these unique speakers to transform your outdoor space into an amazing audio experience that will not disrupt your exterior design.
HOW MANY OUTDOOR SPEAKERS DO I NEED?
Music is an emotional experience that everyone will enjoy more if the sound levels are uniform across the yard. We've all experienced the discomfort of sitting next to a speaker that's too loud or being too far from one to hear anything. Having a uniform sound field means the music plays at the same level no matter where you are in the space.
​
A good rule of thumb we follow when determining the number of speakers needed for any given area is "inches to feet." For example, if we install a 6" speaker, it will cover about six feet, so we would install another speaker 12 feet from the first one. This formula ensures that everyone hears the sound at the same level everywhere. While you can scale this system over time, having a plan from the beginning is crucial.
​
If you have multiple outdoor areas (pool, patio, deck, etc.), you can have an amp for each space to control the volume individually or group them together for the same volume. An exception to this rule is Line Array speakers, designed for large properties. Similar to concert speakers, they are long, curved, and "throw" the sound far without being harsh to guests right in front of the speaker.
​
By planning your outdoor audio system with a uniform sound field, you can create an enjoyable and balanced listening experience for everyone.
WHAT CAN I LISTEN TO AND HOW CAN I CONTROL MY OUTDOOR SOUND?
What sources can I use for outdoor speakers? Source is just another word for media or audio signals. Listening outdoors does not mean you're stuck with a limited choice of music. We can help you choose the best amplifier depending on your listening habits. Knowing which streaming services you subscribe to, if you want to connect an outdoor TV or maybe you want to stream directly from your mobile phone? These are all possible and we can accommodate you with any other sources you have in mind.
How do I control the outdoor speaker volume and playlist?
You can control the outdoor sound systems volume and playlist from your cell phone, tablet or home automation system. Sonos is a popular choice because of its stability, versatility and simplicity as well as offering the largest selection for streaming services with device compatibility. We can also extend your home automation system with an outdoor keypad so you are always within reach of controlling your system.
