We have officially crossed the unofficial first weekend of summer. Are you ready to enjoy all this season offers? Is your outdoor space ready for al fresco dining and sitting by the fire with friends and family under a starry sky? 

At Wipliance, we create homes and outdoor spaces designed for enjoyment and ease of living. One of the features that genuinely makes a difference in outdoor entertainment is today's landscape speaker system. 

Check out this video of an outdoor speaker installation we completed on Mercer Island, then dream of the possibilities at your Seattle, WA home. Let's explore what the latest audio offers and how it can bring friends and family together in the great outdoors.

A Blanket of Sound

If your outdoor audio sound system consists of unreliable Bluetooth speakers or a few speakers mounted on exterior walls and under the eaves of your home, there is a better way. This type of setup delivers one-directional audio that can reflect off water, disturb neighbors, and creates uneven sound. 

Today's homeowners have expanded their living space, turning their outdoor areas into an oasis for entertainment and gatherings or serene retreats to enjoy at day's end. High-fidelity audio brands have responded to the demand, creating outdoor speakers that rival those found in your home. We'll recommend the perfect system for your unique setting and then strategically install satellite speakers and in-ground subwoofers throughout your property.

Heard but not seen, these speakers look like landscape lights and can be placed in foliage and under trees. You'll experience even coverage from corner to corner, a blanket of sound that envelops the listener. And, if you're wondering if it will hold up to the Pacific Northwest weather, bring it on. These speakers are designed to withstand rain, snow, dust, and wind--whatever nature has in store. 

The Zone

Just as your whole-home audio system allows you to listen to different audio sources simultaneously, so does your outdoor sound system. First, we'll determine where people congregate, such as on the patio, by the pool, or out in the gardens. Then, we'll set up zones, enabling everyone to listen to what they want when they want. 

Perhaps one family member is enjoying their latest audiobook in the garden while the kids listen to some hip hop in the pool. At the same time, a group of friends watch the big game on the patio. Our certified technicians customize the system based on your lifestyle, needs, and family members. 

When integrated with your smart home system, you control your indoor and outdoor audio-video, lighting, climate, security, and more from the same user-friendly platform. Tap the "Outdoor Entertainment" button and watch as your landscape lights turn the color of candlelight, your favorite summer playlist begins streaming through your home and yard, the outdoor gas firepit ignites, and the spa starts heating. 

At Wipliance, it's our pleasure to help you create the outdoor space of your dreams. To learn more about landscape speakers and entertainment or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Wipliance today.
