With the right landscaping audio system you can elevate your backyard and enjoy your favorite music during the day in the pool or evening relaxing in the hot tub or hosting friends. This can be the perfect finishing touch to a beautiful outdoor kitchen or to just enhance your landscape audio system.
Outdoor audio systems provide superior sound quality and coverage for your home’s entertainment area using strategically placed speakers to fill your yard or patio with high-quality, rich audio. A good landscape system considers the acoustic realities of an open space, such as lack of walls to bounce sound off and higher background noise levels, and compensates for them with multiple speakers playing at lower volume and specialized technology.
Compared to the sound produced by portable speakers, which are typically designed to produce loud and clear music, a professionally installed landscape speaker is built to last for years and provide an even, high-quality blanket of audio over a larger area. It also is constructed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use and be exposed to sunlight, rain, snow, and other elements.
There are several different styles of outdoor speakers to choose from based on your needs and aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer to have speakers that blend into your landscaping design, or you want to use them to create a focal point, we can help find the ideal solution. Some of the most popular options include rock speakers that are specifically designed to hide away in your garden or backyard and look like part of your landscaping, and those with an architectural design that can fit in anywhere from a wall to a tree or gazebo.
Landscape speakers that are installed into the ground usually connect to an amplifier via a low-profile cable, which is buried underground for minimal visual impact. They can either be affixed to a stake or mounted on an adjustable stand. If you are planning on connecting several speakers together, it is best to choose a 70-volt system that uses thicker, commercial wires that can handle longer runs.
If you are going to install just one or two speakers, you may be able to get by with an 8-ohm system that connects to the amplifier via a thinner wire. However, if you plan to have more than four speakers connected, a 70-volt system will be much easier and cheaper to run and will allow you to connect speakers closer together for better sound.
