Outdoor audio can extend a whole-home entertainment system to a patio, pool area or backyard. Infinite Home Technologies designs and installs audio and video systems for new and existing homes in the Treasure Valley and McCall area. A useful plan starts with where you spend time, how you want to control music and how the outdoor system will connect to the rest of your home.
Plan listening areas and speaker placement
Identify the seating, dining and other areas where you want sound. Speaker type, quantity and placement depend on the size of the space, landscape, nearby homes and desired listening levels. Landscape, wall-mounted and other outdoor-rated speakers can be considered as part of the design; coverage and appearance depend on the selected equipment and site.
Choose equipment for the environment
Outdoor exposure varies between a covered patio and an open garden. Select speakers, connections and mounting locations appropriate for their exposure to weather and irrigation. Amplifiers and other equipment may need a protected location; the installation plan should follow the selected products’ requirements.
Coordinate wiring, network and control
For new construction or landscaping, plan cable routes and equipment locations before surfaces are finished. Existing homes may have retrofit options depending on access and site conditions. We can coordinate outdoor audio with whole-home audio and video, compatible smart-home controls and the home network as the project requires.
Consider lighting and outdoor video
If the project also includes a display or landscape lighting, consider viewing conditions, power, control and equipment locations together. Explore our outdoor living solutions and outdoor lighting for more planning ideas.
