Is there anything that creates ambiance quicker than music? You can opt for a simple portable wireless speaker or hire a pro to install a complete audio system, but having the ability to play tunes in the backyard is key for all kinds of outdoor gatherings. Here are some ideas and tips for listening to your favorite music in the fresh air!
Whether you’re hosting backyard parties this year or just love lounging and listing to music, selecting the right outdoor speakers goes a long way in contributing to your enjoyment
- Select Weatherproof Speakers that are engineered to survive nature’s whims. Outdoor Speaker Depot offers a myriad of outdoor speaker solutions.
- Think Wireless – If you want flexibility, portable Bluetooth speakers are a great option. The caveat? Range. Your device (eg: cellphone, laptop, etc.) and your Bluetooth speakers must be within 30 feet of each other. Tune into Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, SoundCloud, YouTube, or any other favorite music platform.
- Location, Location – Installing outdoor speakers isn’t the same as indoors. Outdoor speakers don’t have walls and a ceiling to bounce their audio off of, so they should be positioned no more than 10 feet apart.
- Watts Up, Doc? Higher wattage speakers produce better, sharper sound and travel further through the air. Example: 40 watt rock speakers will provide reasonable coverage of approximately 100 square feet, while 80 -100 watt speakers can cover up to 400 sq. feet. Note: the presence of trees, walls, and foliage all impact how your outdoor speakers sound.
- Little Hideaways – Why have your home’s eaves and overhangs crowded with AV equipment? Go au natural and choose speakers disguised as rocks, tree stumps, vases, or planters. These wireless speaker systems offer great, high fidelity sound without the need for audio or power cables and blend seamlessly into your yard’s landscaping.
- The Cost-free Workaround – Do you happen to have indoor speakers? Assuming the weather is nice, why not place a speaker in a window facing the backyard, or even outdoors? You’ll enjoy music inside and out — on the cheap!
