5 Outdoor Entertainment Technologies You Might Not Know About
Why Stay Indoors When You Can Take Entertainment Outside?
Most people have a television and sound system in their living rooms, bedrooms, or home theaters. But not everybody owns or is even familiar with outdoor entertainment technology. Unless you’ve seen outdoor AV at a friend’s house, you might not know what’s possible.
If you’re hoping to renovate your patio, porch, or outdoor areas this season, consider adding these five outdoor entertainment technologies for the ultimate backyard experience.
Innovative AV in Arlington, VA designs and installs outdoor systems that blend naturally into landscaping. Here are the outdoor technologies we’re most excited about this year!

1. Outdoor Loudspeakers
It’s tricky to play music outdoors. Without walls to bounce off and create sound reflections, audio disperses into the air and fades away. But Coastal Source manufacturers powerful 3-Way Ellipse Bollards that include large drivers to generate robust, detailed sound.
Plus, their outdoor speakers are completely sealed and weather-resistant, meaning they can stay mounted outside through hot, humid summers and freezing, snowy winters. You won’t need to bring them indoors every time the weather starts up!
2. Partial-Burial Subwoofers
If your outdoor audio system lacks bass, don’t lose hope. Coastal Source’s partial-burial subwoofers are installed in-ground and provide the deep bass notes you crave. The sleek design blends into your yard’s landscaping, and the high-quality materials defy any element.
3. Rock Speakers
Like the idea of an outdoor sound system, but don’t want to see audio equipment around the lawn? Try rock speakers, which resemble any-old garden stone while delivering your favorite tunes. You can sync rock speakers to other outdoor speakers, too, so you can camouflage audio only in the areas you desire.
Not all rock speakers are created the same; be sure to choose a high-quality brand like Sonance or Klipsch. And for superior performance, wire your speakers rather than rely on finicky, wireless Bluetooth.
4. Full-Sun or Partial Shade TVs
Why spend movie nights or TV time indoors while it’s beautiful outside? Did you know SunBriteTV builds completely weatherproof anti-glare displays you can enjoy in both sunny and shaded areas?
SunBriteTV’s screens are ultra-bright, so even if you watch a daytime game by the pool, you’ll still see a clear, bright image without any glare. Imagine the screens at a sports stadium—that’s the video quality you can enjoy in your backyard.
5. Smart Outdoor Control
People are less likely to use home technology if it’s difficult to operate. Luckily, you can consolidate your speakers, screens, and even outdoor lighting into one easily managed smart home system.
From a single app or remote, you can turn on speakers, choose media for the outdoor TV, and activate landscape lighting. You can even control the pool temperature, hot tub jets, and turn on the gas fireplace. Outdoor entertainment is only a press of a button away!
