The speakers are built for outdoor conditions, with cable running underground to the amplifier. A distributed layout provides consistent volume across the property, from the house to the far end of the yard. Blue Hour Lighting is a Sonance authorized dealer and installer, and Sonance equipment is used for outdoor sound system installations.
Satellite speakers carry vocals and detail, but the low frequencies that give outdoor music its depth come from a subwoofer installed in the ground. The Blue Hour Lighting team shares how a buried subwoofer works and why one can serve a whole yard.
Spreading several speakers across the yard keeps the music even at a moderate volume. This guide covers how many a yard needs, how far apart to space them, and how slopes and hedges shift their positions.
Several planning decisions come before any equipment is chosen. The guide explains each one, from the number of zones and the wire routes to room for adding speakers later.
See our Sonance Outdoor Speaker Review to find out how each is built, how they hold up, and which one fits your property.
In this guide, Blue Hour Lighting covers the Patio, Garden, and Landscape Series, sized for a patio, most residential yards, and larger properties with long cable runs.
