Outdoor Audio and Entertainment: Bringing the Party Outside

Your backyard should be more than just grass and a grill. With the right setup, your outdoor space becomes an extension of your living room, complete with music, movies, and smart control.

Why Outdoor Audio Matters

Whether you're hosting a barbecue, relaxing by the pool, or eating dinner on the patio, music makes it better. But dragging a portable speaker outside every time isn't a real solution. Permanently installed outdoor audio gives you consistent, high-quality sound without the hassle.

Speaker Options for Outside

Outdoor speakers need to handle rain, humidity, temperature swings, and UV exposure. We use weather-rated landscape speakers that blend into your garden, bollard speakers for pathways, and surface-mount speakers for covered patios and pergolas.

For larger properties, we create multiple outdoor zones so the pool area, patio, and garden each get their own audio. You control everything from your phone or a Control4 touchscreen inside.

Outdoor TV and Projection

Want to watch the game outside? Outdoor-rated TVs from brands like SunBrite are built to handle direct sunlight and weather. For a bigger experience, we can set up an outdoor projection system for movie nights under the stars.

We handle mounting, weatherproof connections, and integration with your streaming sources so everything works with one remote or app.

Lighting and Ambiance

Outdoor entertainment is about more than sound. Landscape lighting sets the mood. We coordinate with lighting designers to create scenes that pair perfectly with your audio. One tap and the patio lights dim, the music starts, and the fireplace ignites.

How SHIM Sets It Up

We start with a site visit to understand your outdoor space and how you use it. Then we design a system that covers the right zones with the right equipment. All wiring is buried or concealed, and every component is rated for outdoor use.
