Start with the Landscape Layout
Begin planning your hidden outdoor speaker installation by analyzing the layout of your outdoor area. For example, where are your key listening zones? Standard zones include a patio, poolside, or garden seating areas. Paradigm’s Garden Oasis series of hidden outdoor speakers are an excellent option for blending seamlessly into your landscaping elements. For example, if you have a spacious backyard with a pool, place a Garden Oasis speaker near the pool area to create an immersive sound experience while you relax and swim or host a poolside party.
Aim for Balanced Sound
One goal when installing hidden outdoor speakers is to balance sound coverage across your entertainment area. Try to avoid placing speakers too close to one another, as it will create sound hotspots and uneven audio distribution. Instead, focus on spreading speakers out to achieve a cohesive audio experience.
Paradigm’s Rock Monitor series is an excellent choice for large outdoor areas. You can easily position these speakers equally in your backyard to achieve balanced sound coverage. In addition, because these speakers are designed to look like a landscaping rock, you can discreetly place them next to a barbecue, bench, or even the pool.
Consider Natural Barriers and Structures
Did you know natural barriers like trees, hedges, or fences could impact backyard sound? If you’re placing speakers near these structures, be aware of how the direction of your audio is affected. Natural barriers can help you achieve a more focused audio projection and minimize the distance sound will travel, which may be welcome.
Paradigm’s Stylus speakers are an excellent option for installing near a wooden fence, building, or garden trellis. They can be positioned directionally to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere for outdoor dining or a small gathering. In addition, they come in various colors to seamlessly blend in with their surroundings.
Weather Impacts
Outdoor speakers are durable and built to withstand the elements; however, it’s still a good idea to avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heavy rain if possible. Instead, consider placing speakers under eaves, covered patios, tree branches, or pergolas to provide a little protection and prolong their use.
