Mistake #1: Bringing Indoor Speakers Outside

Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to bring indoor speakers outside and quickly find out that this is not a good solution. Indoor speakers are specifically designed to work in the acoustics of an enclosed space, not in open areas. And indoor speakers are not crafted to withstand the elements, including rain, snow, wind, dust, bugs, water, and more – making them susceptible to corrosion, moisture, rust, and other damage.

Outdoor systems are built to last through even the harshest elements and deliver high-performance, even sound throughout your property. Using traditional speaker styles and ground-level speakers, underground speakers, and in-wall speakers, your sound system will create an unforgettable audio experience.

 

Mistake #2: Trying To Install It Yourself

Installing an outdoor speaker system presents its own set of unique difficulties because of the acoustics of an outdoor space. Speakers placed haphazardly on the wall or around the patio will lead to uneven and low-quality sound. The audio might be quiet in some places, louder in others, and certain frequency ranges might not come through properly. Working with an expert is the best and easiest way to ensure you get the most out of your sound system.

 

Mistake #3: Not Using A Customized Design

Our team of experts will work with you to create a customized plan for your property. After doing an onsite walkthrough to evaluate the layout of your space, we carefully design your speaker and subwoofer placement to ensure a consistent sound no matter where you are on your property at a constant level. There will be no need to blast the volume so that everyone can hear, disturbing the neighbors and causing issues for listeners standing closest to the speakers. Instead, you will enjoy an even soundstage. Best of all, you can easily change songs, adjust the volume, EQ the system, and more from your smart device of choice.
