Recent advances in technology have provided us with amazing possibilities for bringing entertainment to your outdoor areas.
The most basic way to provide outdoor entertainment is with one or more pairs of weather-resistant outdoor speakers. Better coverage, and a far better outdoor experience is provided when you have several sets of speakers operating at a low volume instead of one pair of speakers playing extremely loud.
James Speaker Series
One of our most popular outdoor speaker solutions is the new James landscape and SpeakerCraft speaker series. These speakers resemble small outdoor landscape lights. James’ basic landscape package has eight speakers, and one subwoofer buried in the ground! The sound you get from these is amazing.
The small satellites can be discretely placed to provide the best coverage, while the below ground subwoofer gives you incredible outdoor bass! Everyone who hears it cannot believe how good it sounds!
Automation Systems
Once you have great sound outdoors, how do you control it? That’s where home automation systems from Crestron, Universal Remote Control (URC), and Control4 come in. Each of these has wireless control options for complete management of your outdoor entertainment choices. Imagine sitting outside with your friends, listening to music from high school or college days. One of them asks if you can play something more recent, so you hand him your two-way remote control and say he can choose the next music selection!

Outdoor Video
Outdoor video continues to gain in popularity. With LCD TV prices dropping under $1500 for a good-sized picture, many people are putting these on covered porches. (The plan is to replace the LCD in a few years if the weather gets to it.) LCDs have an operating temperature range from about 4 degrees to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, so for our region of the country they are great.
Pantel & Sunbrite
The new Pantel and Sunbrite series of LCD TVs represent the ultimate in outdoor television. These TVs are completely weather proof. Yes, rain can pour down on the set and has no effect. The Pantels are about twice as bright as regular LCD sets, so you get a pretty good picture even in sunlight.
