Bringing the Party Outside with Outdoor Speakers

After a long winter, we’re excited to get back outside and enjoy our outdoor spaces. Backyard oases have become increasingly popular in recent years because they offer a convenient and comfortable space for people to relax and unwind. And what better way to relax than with music?

Before we dive into the options, the first step is to take a deep dive into your space. Yes, assess the size, and layout, but we really want to understand how you intend on using it before recommending a solution. After a proper assessment, we typically suggest the following three options to add audio to your outdoor space.

The discreet and high-quality sound system, Paradigm Outdoor Oasis System, offers sound coverage throughout your space.

Landscaping System Custom to Your Backyard

For the ultimate outdoor speaker experience, we recommend a landscape system. Landscape speakers are designed to be buried in the ground and blend into your landscape. The placement of your speakers will ensure sound is evenly distributed throughout your yard. Now, this option usually takes about 1-2 days to install and requires digging as we are running the wiring underground. So if you are considering a landscaping project that involves moving dirt, now would be the perfect time to start thinking about how technology will play into your design.

External Traditional Speakers

The next option might be installing a pair of traditional speakers. The good news is that are many stylish options available, so it won’t clash with your outdoor aesthetic. We may install these on the side of your home, on your screened-in porch, or even on a deck. Wherever they are installed, these speakers are weatherproof and built to withstand the elements.

Although this option may not have the same coverage that a landscaping system gives you, if placed correctly in relation to your outdoor space, this option is a sound solution for your space. Pun intended!

Portable Speakers

Lastly, portable speakers are a simple and affordable solution. They are small, compact speakers that are designed to be taken with you on the go. So bring it along when gardening or hanging around the fire pit. See how you like it and if in the future, you want something more advanced, we can do that!
