Amp Up Your Summer Fun with Outdoor AV

Enjoy Your Favorite Entertainment Under the Stars

Whether your Hamptons home is your escape from Manhattan or your year-round residence, summer is a magical time. In the hottest days of summer, instead of New York City humidity, you can enjoy the warmth tempered by the ocean breezes of the east end of the island. You can feel the summer dinners al fresco, cocktail parties, and more just around the corner. 

Want to make your outdoor time even more fun in the Hamptons? Invest in an outdoor entertainment setup. As an experienced outdoor AV company in New York, we have turned many outdoor spaces into entertainment oases to bring more fun outside. Keep reading for ideas on how to enjoy your favorite music, movies, and more outdoors.

OUTDOOR SOUND 

Music adds the ambiance to just about any activity. Throwing a pool party (or a few) this summer? Liven it up with upbeat tracks to get the boogie (or splashing) on. Want to relax with a good book in the sun? Put on some relaxing singer/songwriter melodies. Having an evening cocktail party under the stars? Get it flowing with smooth jazz. 

The best thing about outdoor audio is the plethora of options for excellent sound. Two of our favorite brands for outdoor sound are Coastal Source and Sonance. Sonance is a pioneer in architectural speakers, and their outdoor solutions are just as advanced as the indoor ones. The Sonance Landscape Series is one option that lets you blanket your outdoor space with even full audio that seems to emanate from everywhere. The system pairs discreet satellite speakers that blend with the plants with buried, unseen subwoofers to provide rich bass notes. 

Another excellent option for concert-quality sound outside is Coastal Source. The company's Bollard series are like high-performance tower speakers for the outdoors. Available in different sizes, they can make a statement in your modern landscape or be partially buried for a more discreet approach. Either way, the three-way speakers – engineered from the ground up for the outdoors – deliver audio you will feel as well as hear. 

 

OUTDOOR TV 

Why stop at just audio for your outdoor entertainment? Think of the possibilities for outdoor TV. Add one by your outdoor kitchen and bar and enjoy Mets and early fall Jets games while you grill. Take your daily TV yoga class outdoors by the patio. Enjoy summer movie nights with family and friends on the patio or floating in the pool. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of outdoor TV options to fulfill all these possibilities. SunBrite TVs span uses from full shade to partial shade to full sun locations. Models feature robust housing to resist heat, cold, humidity, rain, and bugs. Screens are specially coated for glare, and most models adjust to ambient lighting to provide the brightest, sharpest picture outdoors. Likewise, Séura TVs feature different models, up to 86 inches, that have super bright screens for excellent visibility by the pool as you float lazily in the sun. 

 

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING 

Just as music can create ambiance, so does outdoor lighting. Make your summer and fall nights more memorable with landscape lighting. Coastal Source and other solutions offer a variety of lights to add drama and flair to your outdoor spaces. Light your paths, your trees, your stairs, your water features, and unique outdoor details with nuanced lighting that sets the tone for an entertaining evening to remember. And when the entertainment is over, lighting adds beauty and safety to your property at night.
