Why Outdoor Audio and Video Systems Are the New Backyard Essential

The backyard has become the new living room. Families aren’t just grilling outdoors — they’re hosting game nights, movie screenings, and pool parties. And with the right technology, your outdoor space can become an entertainment destination.

At Advanced AV & Automation, we design outdoor audio and video systems that turn backyards into true extensions of the home.

Why Outdoor AV?

• Lifestyle Upgrade: Enjoy the big game while swimming in the pool or host movie nights under the stars.

• Seamless Control: Outdoor AV integrates with your existing home system.

• Resale Value: Outdoor living spaces with built-in entertainment are highly desirable to buyers.

Outdoor Audio Systems

• Weatherproof Speakers: Built to withstand rain, heat, and humidity without losing sound quality.

• Landscape Audio: Speakers disguised as rocks or hidden in gardens for an immersive sound field.

• Subwoofers: Buried or hidden subs provide rich bass outdoors.

Pro Tip: A good outdoor audio system delivers even coverage, so the music isn’t blasting in one spot and barely audible in another.

Outdoor Video Systems

• Weatherproof TVs: Designed for direct sunlight or shaded areas. These TVs are brighter than indoor models and sealed against the elements.

• Projection Systems: Perfect for outdoor movie nights, with large retractable screens.

• Placement: Proper mounting prevents glare and optimizes viewing angles.

Integration with Smart Systems

Outdoor AV isn’t standalone. It connects to your home’s automation system, meaning:

• Stream music outdoors from the same app you use inside.

• Control volume, lighting, and video with one remote or touchscreen.

• Create “Party Mode” scenes that activate everything with one tap.

Real-World Example

We recently installed an outdoor system for a family in Fulshear, TX. Their backyard now features:

• Landscape-style speakers around the pool.

• A weatherproof 65” TV under the covered patio.

• Lighting that syncs with the audio system.

Now their home is the go-to spot for neighborhood gatherings.

Why Builders Should Care

Outdoor living is one of the most requested features in new builds. Offering pre-wired outdoor zones makes it easy for buyers to add AV upgrades without tearing up landscaping later.
