Open-Air Audio
For many, outdoor audio begins with a simple Bluetooth speaker. While this may be fine when it’s just you, you’ll quickly realize it isn’t powerful enough to satisfy a crowd. Competing for attention in an open-air scenario requires a purpose-built outdoor audio system. Hippo’s recommends directional, all-weather speakers that project sound where needed so you can enjoy music without disturbing the whole neighborhood. Whether having a quiet evening or hosting a backyard barbecue, you want your audio balanced and clear.
Lighting That Sets the Mood
Outdoor lighting has become quite the trend, with a variety of LEDs and color-changing fixtures available to help homeowners set the perfect patio mood. But, if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors at night, you may want something more flexible and durable than what can be bought off the shelf. Hippo’s recommends an outdoor-rated smart lighting solution that can transform your space from an afternoon retreat to an evening escape at the touch of a button. We can also advise on the placement of lighting to function for both ambiance and safety, ensuring pathways, seating areas, and entertainment zones are well-lit without disturbing the vibe.
The Outdoor TV Advantage
A standard indoor TV won’t survive outdoor elements, so investing in an outdoor-rated TV is necessary. The technology you choose should be built to withstand temperature shifts, moisture, and glare. Hippo’s offers weatherproof TVs with ultra-bright screens designed for the best outdoor viewing so you can watch your favorite shows even in direct sunlight. With strategic placement and integrated audio, the right TV can become the focal point of your backyard entertainment.
The Seamless Smart Control Experience
Smart control is the area where Hippo’s knows best. Consider this: instead of juggling multiple remotes and apps every time you go outside, you could use a single smart control hub capable of adjusting audio, lighting, and video with a single touch. You can use the convenience of a smartphone app or voice commands to control your backyard experience from anywhere in your home. Streamlining the control process is the cherry on top of the outdoor entertainment sundae, sure to make your experience all the more relaxing.
