TECH THAT TAKES YOUR OUTDOOR SPACES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
April 14, 2020
Staying at home doesn’t have to mean staying indoors. Here are three ways you can use technology to turn your backyard into an outdoor oasis.
#1) Get Your Groove on
The best dance floor at your house might just be your backyard. Plus, there’s more room to get your groove on in the great outdoors. The problem here, though, is that usually, the sound quality diminishes when you’re outside. That’s where outdoor speakers come in. Episode Terrain Speakers or Triad Garden Array speakers are all-weather landscape speakers that will blanket your outdoor spaces with rich, beautiful audio while blending in with the outdoors and your outdoor ambiance.
Both speaker lines, available via Control4, are a family of satellite and subwoofer speakers that are placed throughout the yard and garden areas to provide you with vibrant, full-coverage sound. They offer consistent volume levels and balanced tones that deliver consistent sound quality, eliminating hot spots and quiet areas.
Each of the satellite speakers offers a 150-degree listening area that is over 50% wider than traditional landscape speakers. This allows for broad speaker placement so you can enjoy uncompromised surround sound quality outdoors with fewer speakers. The Garden Array Subwoofer is designed for both above and below-ground installations. Meaning the bass can be on the patio or deck, or buried near a pool, gazebo, or pergola.

No need to stress about rain, snow, dust, insects, salt air, humidity, or extreme temperatures because SunBrite TVs are meant to be in the great outdoors, and are rated to handle all of this and more. Outdoor-specific TVs offer higher brightness, reduced glare, and a sharper picture. This provides an ideal viewing experience, even in brighter outdoor environments, which isn’t provided in a normal indoor TV.
SunBrite TVs are engineered for safe, permanent outdoor installation. Indoor TV manuals warn against outdoor use due to potentially dangerous consequences, which might not be covered by homeowner’s insurance. Meaning if in a fuse shorts or the TV is ruined by bad weather and it’s not labeled as an outdoor TV you could be out quite a few bucks.
