Even coverage across the garden, without disturbing the neighbours.

What is outdoor sound?
Outdoor sound is about coverage, not power. Open air has no walls to hold sound, so one loud speaker is too loud nearby, too quiet far away, and easily heard next door.
- Even sound from the terrace to the pool
- Many quiet speakers, not one loud one
- Built for sun, humidity and dust
- Sound that stays inside your garden

Outdoor in brief
Several small speakers, close to where you sit and aimed back at the house, give even sound at a gentle level and keep it inside the garden. They are built for sun, humidity and dust, and they sit quietly among the planting.
Sound that stays in the garden
One loud speaker fills the terrace and still reaches next door. Several quiet ones cover the garden and stay inside it.

Worked out from published specifications and standard sums for sound. A guide to how a room behaves, not a measurement of yours. Sound is shown as one note, slowed about 150 times, so you can see it move.
- 01Each circle shows how far a speaker carries before it falls to a quiet conversation.
- 02Four speakers, aimed back at the house, share the work and need far less power.
- 03Change the layout or the speaker, and the sums follow.
What makes outdoor sound work
- 01
Many speakers, low level
Sound fades fast outdoors. Several quiet speakers close to you give even coverage that a single loud one never can.
- 02
Built for the climate
Sun, humidity, sand and irrigation are hard on equipment. Speakers are chosen for the weather, and amplifiers stay indoors.
- 03
Zones you control
The pool, terrace and lawn can each have their own level, so a quiet dinner and a party can share one garden.
- 04
Respect for the boundary
Speakers aim back at the house, and bass stays away from the wall, so your music doesn't become next door's.

How we do it
- 01
Walk the garden
We mark where you sit and where the neighbours are.
- 02
Plan the coverage
Speakers are placed close to the seating and aimed back at the house.
- 03
Run the cable
Cable goes in before planting or paving where possible.
- 04
Set the levels
Each zone is set by ear, at the seats and at the boundary.
Built for heat and sand
We specify speakers rated for sun, humidity and dust, and place them for even sound at a moderate level.
Questions
5
Will it survive the summer?
We only install outdoor speakers rated for the Gulf climate, and service them yearly.
How do I avoid disturbing the neighbours?
Use more speakers at a lower level, keep them close to the seating and aim them away from the boundary.
Can the speakers be hidden?
Yes. Rock-style and in-ground speakers sit among planting, and pendants can hang from a pergola.
Do I need a subwoofer outside?
Open air has no walls to hold bass, so one helps for music. It is also what carries furthest, so we place it with care.
Can sound reach the pool?
Yes. Give the pool its own zone, so it can be quieter than the terrace or off altogether.
