An Outdoor Speaker System That Blends Music & Nature 

The sun is setting, the air is cooling, and you’re listening to a fun new playlist in the kitchen. You take your plates and a bottle of wine out to the patio, where music follows you, flowing from underneath the bushes and plants. Later you take a dip in the pool, and you can still hear high-quality tunes by the water from your outdoor speaker system.

Outdoor audio has a way of making any summer day feel special. With a professionally installed sound system, your outdoor speakers can discreetly slip into greenery or stand stylishly in the open. Read on to see how an outdoor speaker system will fit into your Texas lifestyle.

Even Coverage with Ellipse Bollards

If you’re walking across the yard, you’ll want to hear your music in every area without cranking the volume (and possibly irritating the neighbors). High-performance outdoor speakers like Coastal Source’s 2-Way Ellipse Bollards have a modern cylindrical design, looking just as sleek hidden among plants as it does in grass or bark mulch.

What does two-way mean for audio? It means the speaker has both a woofer and tweeter: one to deliver low frequencies and the other for high frequencies. Compared to indoor speakers, the Ellipse Bollard’s driver is much larger, offering higher fidelity. It can be installed above-ground or in-ground with durable materials that defy all weather. 

Discreet Satellites & Subwoofers

Another option for your outdoor spaces is the Sonance Landscape Series, comprised of small satellite speakers and a burial in-ground subwoofer (pictured above). The satellite speakers resemble little spotlights and can pepper your property amongst plants or lined along pathways. 

If you’re only adding audio to one area like the pool, you can install several satellites around the periphery without taking much space. The burial subwoofer will bring booming bass notes to your patio parties while also blending into the landscape.

Wired Below Ground

By working with an audio professional like Captive Audio, we’ll handle the installation process of running wires underground to your outdoor speakers. All your devices will connect to one system, where you can choose songs from your favorite streaming services like Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or even connect to your turntable or CD player inside. 

Your entire property, indoors and outdoors, can sync to the same playlist. Or you can select different music for specific zones. Whether it’s ‘70s rock by the pool and a comedy album in the kitchen, you can customize the mood in just one tap from your smartphone. 

Need something new to add a little spice to daily life? An outdoor audio setup may be just what your San Antonio-area home needs. Contact Captive Audio to get started on your system today.
