Assessing Your Space
The first step in planning your outdoor entertainment area is to work with our team to assess your available space. Determine the size and layout of your outdoor area. Consider natural elements like trees, pools, and garden beds, which can influence where you place your AV equipment. Additionally, consider how many guests you typically entertain to ensure the space comfortably accommodates everyone.
Weatherproofing
California enjoys beautiful summers and temperate winters, but ensuring your AV equipment is weatherproof is essential! Invest in outdoor-rated televisions, speakers, and projectors designed to withstand the elements, including sun exposure, rain, and dust. Look for equipment with high IP ratings to ensure durability and longevity, providing peace of mind for years.
Audio Considerations
Quality audio is crucial for an immersive outdoor entertainment experience. Choose an outdoor speaker that blends seamlessly with your landscape while providing powerful, clear sounds. The brands we work with offer robust outdoor speaker options for excellent audio performance in open spaces. Sonance, for instance, creates elegant speakers for large landscapes, beautiful gardens, and cozy patios. Strategically place the speakers to create an even sound distribution, covering every corner of your outdoor area.
Visual Elements
For visual elements, outdoor televisions and projectors are your go-to options. SunBrite outdoor TVs are specially designed to handle glare and provide crisp, clear images even in daylight. They offer models for full shade, partial shade, and full sun, allowing you to choose the solution that best suits your space.
Connectivity and Control
Our team can help you integrate a robust control system to simplify the management of your outdoor AV setup. With a smart control system, you can easily manage your outdoor lighting, audio, video, and security from a single interface. A strong Wi-Fi connection that extends to your outdoor space supports streaming services and smart home controls, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted entertainment experience.
Power and Wiring
Proper wiring and power supplies are essential for a safe and functional outdoor entertainment area. Consider hiring a professional to handle the installation, guaranteeing that all wiring is weatherproof and meets safety standards. Use outdoor-rated cables and conduits to protect your wiring from the elements.
Design Aesthetics
Finally, ensure your outdoor entertainment area complements the overall design of your home and landscape. Our process involves using materials and colors that blend with your existing outdoor decor. Incorporate natural elements like plants and water features to create a harmonious and inviting space.
