Outdoor Audio Considerations
There are a few key factors to consider when choosing outdoor speakers if you’re looking to elevate your entertainment and extend your living spaces to the great outdoors:
Size, Power & Placement
The size of your outdoor space will determine the size of the speakers you need. Do you have a smaller backyard, or could your large property be separated into different music zones? For example, you’ll want ample audio coverage everywhere if there’s a fire pit, patio area, and pool. You’ll also need to consider the power output of the speakers so they can fill every inch of the yard.
Weather Resistance
Outdoor audio components should be able to withstand the elements, even the harsh Arizona sun! Reliable and robust materials with reinforced enclosures protect the delicate electronics inside from insects, dust, and moisture.
Features
A speaker is a speaker, right? In reality, not all speakers are created equally, and some will work better in particular applications than others. Do you need Bluetooth connectivity or a built-in subwoofer? Would you like to incorporate your outdoor sound system operations with your indoor speaker setup? Your answers to these questions and many others help our team find the perfect AV components to incorporate.

Maintaining Your Outdoor Audio System
Outdoor speakers require regular maintenance to ensure they perform for years to come. Here are some tips for keeping things in good condition:
- Clean the speakers with a soft cloth and mild soap solution as needed, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Regularly cut back or remove any foliage.
- Rinse off dirt and insect accumulation when you see it.
