Get Ready to Enjoy Music and Movies in a Brand New Way

While it may seem like winter just arrived, spring is right around the corner, making this the perfect time to consider your outdoor areas. Many of our clients in the New Orleans, LA, region are revamping their patios and backyards by bringing their favorite indoor audio/video solutions to the great outdoors. 

These outdoor entertainment areas rival their indoor equivalents in performance and are crafted to withstand whatever Mother Nature has to toss at them. Thanks to today's technology, you can experience crystal-clear images and surround sound once relegated solely to your indoor living spaces. Then add the latest landscape and patio lighting, and you’ll have an entertainment mecca. Keep reading below to explore how you can craft the perfect hangout spot for year-round fun.

Creating Your Entertainment Space

Many clients want to focus on the audio and video that lets them enjoy the latest movies under the stars, enjoy the big game with friends, and stream high-fidelity music throughout the property. This extension of your home almost always becomes one of the best places to congregate and enjoy company or spend some alone time.

Today’s outdoor TVs offer incredible viewing even in direct sunlight. They provide brilliant colors, contrast, and lifelike images that pop off the screen and can withstand our fluctuating weather. Some are built to withstand temperatures ranging from -40° to 140°F and can handle sudden downpours, insects, and debris as well. 

For the best audio experience, satellite landscape speakers bring all-encompassing sound with even coverage that extends throughout your property. Our certified technicians tuck them into foliage and architectural details, blending them in with your landscape. In-ground subwoofers provide the bass that drives action-packed movies and music. The result is immersive audio, a blanket of pristine sound that covers your property. 

Enjoying the Evenings

Some of the most memorable times in an outdoor entertainment area are the evenings under a full moon surrounded by lights that resemble stars. With today's dynamic LED lighting, you can even change the color of the lights to fit any occasion and every season. Safety and ambiance go hand-in-hand with outdoor lighting.

Effortless Control

When integrated with your Control4 home automation system, you can take the seamless automated experiences you enjoy indoors to your patio spaces. Tap the touchscreen to select an audio and video source to play in one area, or have the big game play on every TV throughout the property! You’ll never miss a play, even when lounging by the pool.

Preset scenes create the perfect setting for your many outdoor activities. For example, tap "Outdoor Dining," and the patio lights reflect the color of candlelight while the landscape lighting softly illuminates trees and foliage, and your pool turns the color of the Caribbean Sea. At the same time, your “Al Fresco” music playlist streams through your backyard, and the outdoor fire feature ignites. When it's time for a movie, press the movie icon, and the lights dim, the TV turns on, and the sound fills the air.

Our team combines the best in audio/video technology and home automation to create customized solutions that enhance your daily life. To learn more about outdoor entertainment or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Acadian Home Theater & Automation today.
