One of the major reasons people love to visit restaurant patios and rooftop bars is for the atmosphere. With your own landscape lighting and backyard entertainment system, you can transform your yard into a place where friends and family love to gather. 

But you don’t have to lug a Bluetooth speaker onto the porch or blast garage speakers hoping they reach the pool. Homeowners in Park City, Salt Lake City, or beyond can enjoy a speaker and outdoor subwoofer installation from Ratio AV. We offer best-in-class brands like Coastal Source and design systems strategically for exciting entertainment potential!

Outdoor Speaker Setups Need More Than Two Speakers 

To achieve the best listening experiences in your outdoor areas, you’ll need more than just one or two speakers. Unlike indoor spaces, open-air environments require strategically placed speakers to provide directional sound coverage. Without this, you could end up with audio dead zones, losing your favorite tunes to the vastness of the open sky.

Blanket your property with multiple speakers so each can play at a lower volume. Family and friends can enjoy their favorite playlists and TV audio clearly throughout the yard without bothering the neighbors for being too loud! While there are many speaker options to choose from, we recommend smaller Modulus bullet speakers from Coastal Source for covertly hiding in landscaped areas or larger Ellipse Bollards for a more contemporary look.

Don't Forget the Subwoofer Installation

You can listen to bass-filled playlists during a pool party or enjoy booming soundtracks during movie nights under the stars with an upgraded sound system. You will likely want to experience the exciting lower notes of all your favorite media, but bass notes can be challenging to replicate outdoors. Luckily, Coastal Source offers an outdoor Bollard Subwoofer that can be installed above-ground or in-ground.

Enjoy Hidden Outdoor Audio Solutions 

If you want to feel like you’re escaping “into the wild” whenever you step outside, disguise speakers and components with the right solutions. Consider using rock speakers that hide in plain sight or the Razor on-wall and hardscape speaker option with its beautiful slim-line profile.

Expert System Design & Installation Services

When you partner with an AV professional like Ratio AV, we will work from the ground up. Your new outdoor speaker system will incorporate wireless and wireless components and hide essential wiring underground for a visually unintrusive installation.

You can control all devices using the same smart home automation system you use for indoor devices. Raise and lower the volume, choose songs, and manage other connected devices without getting up from your patio chair!
