The outdoor space is more important than ever these days. We put great thought and resources into our landscape, pool and outdoor kitchen areas. Having music, tv and internet is valuable to getting the most use from outdoor spaces. Avoid poor sound coverage, unsightly wiring and weak internet by turning to the experts- Audio Video Artistry.
Outdoor speaker systems have evolved dramatically over the years. There are still situations where hanging a pair of weatherproof speakers from the eave is the best solution. But the most popular backyard speaker product these days is the sub/sat system. This system incorporates multiple small satellites (typically 8) and a subwoofer buried in the ground. The sound is evenly distributed throughout the large area, allowing you to have conversation with full rich music in the background. Everywhere you walk, you experience stereo sound too. Don’t let the small satellites that blend into the landscaping fool you, the bass is massive thanks to in-ground subwoofer options up to 15 inches. Amplifiers custom made for the task round out the system creating a sound that is perfectly balanced and supremely powerful when needed.
Used to be, we had no issue with our customers buying a cheap TV to put outdoors. “When it breaks, I’ll just get a new one” they would say. Made sense to us- especially given what outdoor TV’s were going for. We’d show up to do work at the house and the picture on these TV’s looked horrible! “I’m used to it. I’ll replace it when it totally breaks” they would say. That was it. We realized outdoor TV’s had a real value and we were doing our customers a disservice by not recommending the right product for the job.
Outdoor TV’s have come down in price and models are available for full cover, partial weather, and full exposure. Available up to 75″, these TV’s are fully protected from dust, temperature extremes, humidity, and other environmental hazards. They are much brighter than indoor rated TV’s and they feature a coating to reduce glare. We sell for the same price as most online and big box retailers which makes it easy to choose pros for the job!
You need awesome networking outside too! You will probably find most indoor networks do a horrible job of penetrating exterior walls to provide fast speed or coverage out to the pool. With Audio Video Artistry, your whole outdoor space can be covered with smoking fast internet. Our range of outdoor access points are designed to take direct weather. They are IP55 rated to protect against rain, wind, dust and temperature variations. The range is insane and it can be limited so your neighbors don’t get on your network. Enjoy streaming your music, surfing social media, and controlling your automated systems with ease.
Audio Video Artistry sells Sonos wireless music, Sunbrite outdoor tv’s and many other popular brands at the same price as major retailers and online stores. We also offer free in-home consultation to make sure your outdoor space is perfect for your needs and your budget.

Built in California, the Mariner is the traditional surface-mount speaker. Available in white or black, its 6.5″ woofer is large enough to produce satisfying bass and small enough to allow for unobtrusive placement. Excellent sound for money and easy to power with a receiver’s Zone2 output or a Sonos Amp.
$499/pair
Not all TV’s need to be fully weatherproof. Most folks will place theirs on a covered porch where it won’t get direct weather. The TV still needs protection from the dust and elements however. This is where the Sunbrite Veranda is perfect. Veranda features 4K resolution and a screen up to 50% brighter than a typical indoor tv as well as a built in 20 watt amp for optional speakers.

Surveillance is a must-have if you have a pool. Keeping an eye on kids and protecting yourself from potential lawsuits are just a couple of reasons why surveillance cameras are a great idea for the back yard. We like a visible deterrent like this bullet so those who might want to take off with your green egg or your new lounger will think twice.

Weatherproof access points aren’t cheap but they’re worth their weight in gold. Whether you’re streaming music or high-def TV or just surfing the net on your phone, having quality internet outdoors is essential. The 700 is especially made for outdoor use. Its enterprise-class industrial design is next level from the average consumer grade product sold elsewhere.
