The Latest Outdoor Audio Systems Redefine What’s Possible in Outdoor Entertainment

Many may not remember the days when outdoor audio consisted of portable radios or CD players. These days, many people have turned to Bluetooth speakers or one-directional under-eave speakers to deliver music to their outdoor areas. While these certainly suffice, they are a far cry from today’s outdoor audio systems that bring high-fidelity sound throughout your yard - whether it's an expansive estate with gardens, pathways, and water features or a smaller area with a patio and pool.

Let’s explore the makings of a high-performance outdoor audio system for your Tampa, FL, home.

Outdoor audio seems like an easy enough addition to your New Orleans, LA home, and what better way to liven up the day than with the right playlist? But placing a few speakers near the wall or resorting to portable Bluetooth speakers won’t do the trick.
