Outdoor Entertainment

Spring is almost here, and the long Tampa Bay summer is well on its way. Our daily highs are getting back to the 80's, and the low 90's will soon be a daily occurrence. In retrospect, were you satisfied with your outdoor entertainment area last summer?

The Rising Trend in Outdoor Living Spaces

As of 2023, the outdoor living market has seen a significant surge, with spending on outdoor living spaces projected to grow by 4% annually, reaching nearly $10 billion by 2024. This trend reflects a growing consumer desire to enhance outdoor areas for entertainment, relaxation, and enjoyment.

Were you wishing you had a more immersive pool or backyard area? Would you enjoy your evenings or weekends more if you could watch the game on a larger, brighter screen or maybe have better sound than the little Bluetooth speaker? Here's where Entertainment Pros comes into play.

Upgrade Your Outdoor Audio Experience

Using multiple outdoor speakers increases the "immersivity" of your space, putting you in the middle of the music, instead of an underpowered Bluetooth speaker sitting on your patio table. More speakers are better, you can provide listenable music for a larger area with a lower overall volume. Everyone can hear the music without one end getting blown out so the other end can hear.

We can add 2 or 4 directional outdoor speakers and an outdoor subwoofer or two powered by a professional Crown amplifier with built-in DSP (Digital Sound Processing) and utilize pro-grade 12/2 burial-rated landscaping wire and weatherproof gel-filled connectors for longevity. Spending more on the proper products means you can increase the lifespan of your outdoor entertainment area.

Adding an outdoor subwoofer (or two) provides the rich "feel" that a system without a subwoofer can't reproduce. Lower frequencies are all about air movement, and you need at least 10" or 12" drivers to reproduce lower notes of music. Properly locating the subwoofers increases the bass response in your area without "sharing" your music with your neighbors.

Enhance Your Viewing with Outdoor Video Solutions

Choosing the Right Outdoor TV

These days an outdoor TV is the standard, not the exception. While many people frequently purchase a standard TV for outdoor use, there are times and places where that is a very poor idea. Lower priced TVs are typically not bright enough for daytime use, it's like using a flashlight to drown out the sun. The TV may not have enough brightness, black level, or contrast to provide a watchable image. If you only enjoy your TV at night, then a lesser TV may be okay, provided you realize the life expectancy will be limited due to the humidity, salt air, and corrosion of the internal electronics. This is where outdoor TVs come into the picture. Many companies now produce and sell outdoor-rated TVs.

Weather-Resistant Features for Year-Round Enjoyment

These TVs have brighter pictures, better contrast, better black levels, and weather-resistant or even weatherproof enclosures. There are different levels of brightness and exposure, whether they are for indirect or direct exposure to sun and rain. The best models are manufactured to tolerate direct rain, bright viewing for direct sunlight exposure, and you can enjoy them day or night, irrespective of the climatic conditions! The party can go on, no matter what! Inviting people over for the game or having a family get-together or birthday party can be exclusive of the bright sun or a little rain (hey, you are gonna get wet in the pool anyway, right?).
