The Top 5 Features to Look for in an Outdoor Entertainment System
Creating the Ultimate Outdoor Oasis
As people embrace outdoor living, backyards have become much more than a patio and lounge chairs around the pool. Today, they are extensions of the home, incorporating similar comforts. One of the experiences at the forefront of today’s backyard transformation is the outdoor entertainment system.
Do you remember the outdoor movie screens that were barely visible in daylight and delivered grainy images at night? Those have transformed into 4K UHD displays that offer brighter and better picture quality than many indoor TVs. How about the one-directional outdoor speaker that brought uneven coverage throughout the outdoor space? Today, concert-quality music in your backyard is a reality.
Today, the possibilities in outdoor entertainment are virtually limitless. Here, we’ll explore the top five features to consider when choosing an outdoor entertainment system for your Scottsdale, AZ, home.

Weather Resistant
Our current 110°F-plus temperatures illustrate the importance of outdoor equipment that can withstand environmental extremes. From monsoons to heat waves, it’s important your outdoor TVs and sound systems are well constructed.
At Audio Video Excellence, we partner with industry leaders who perform extensive testing and development to ensure durable products that offer the best performance. The brands we recommend for this area can operate in temperatures up to 140°F. All speakers and displays are “weatherproof,” withstanding heavy rain, wind, and dust.
Immersive Sound Quality
One of the best ways to ensure even sound coverage throughout your outdoor areas is through satellite speakers. These speakers blend into your landscape, allowing us to strategically place them throughout your property without affecting the design. Optimized for outdoor listening, they provide clear, detailed music with a sense of realism once only achieved through top indoor loudspeakers.
Images in Daylight
Crystal-clear, vibrant images in direct sunlight were once unimaginable. Today, they are a reality due to anti-glare technology and outdoor TVs that are three times brighter than those found indoors. Once you know where you’d like to install them, such as on the patio or by the pool, we’ll recommend the best option to ensure the highest quality image.
Appropriate Lighting
Some of the best outdoor entertainment occurs at night with the full moon overhead. Today’s landscape and patio lighting enhance the experience, bringing out the best in your design while creating an enchanting oasis-like setting. From lights resembling moonlight to those recreating your favorite Tuscan villa, today’s outdoor illumination is only limited by one’s imagination.
An Integrated Outdoor System
Outdoor-rated cables, connectors, and wiring are all essential for your outdoor entertainment area. Reliable and fast Wi-Fi connectivity is also critical and is achieved through the latest outdoor Wi-Fi access points.
This connectivity enables you to bring your technology together and manage it from one user-friendly interface. You can control your audio, video, lighting, spa, and pool from one device and program scenes that operate multiple systems simultaneously. For example, pressing ‘Relaxing’ streams the ‘Relax’ playlist through your outdoor area, illuminates the landscape in a soft, golden glow, and heats the spa.
