Get Ready for Summer on the Lake with a Sonos Audio System

Summer is finally here, and if you’re getting ready for a season on Lake Winnipesaukee, make music a part of your plans. Imagine as friends and family visit the lake house, you play your favorite playlists and albums throughout every room. Multi-room audio systems let you sync speakers to play simultaneously, and with weatherproof speakers, the fun can extend outdoors, too.  

But how do you build a whole-home audio system? At SmartHome Solutions, Inc., we’re partial to Sonos for their easy-to-assemble whole-home systems and outdoor speakers. Sonos speakers wirelessly connect together, which is convenient if you can’t run wires through your Lake Winnipesaukee, NH, home. Here’s what makes Sonos systems the perfect solution for summer on the water.

Hard Wired Speakers vs. Bluetooth Speakers

When choosing between audio speakers, it’s important to understand the difference between hardwired and Bluetooth speakers. Hardwired speakers require physical connections to an audio source or amplifier, limiting their placement options. On the other hand, Bluetooth speakers offer wireless connectivity, allowing you to stream music directly from your phone or other devices.  

While Bluetooth speakers are convenient, they may have limitations in terms of range and audio quality. Sonos takes a different approach by combining the convenience of wireless connectivity with the stability and high-quality sound of a hardwired system. Some Sonos speakers are entirely wireless, while their in-wall and outdoor speakers must be wired to an amplifier. No matter the type, both wired and wireless Sonos speakers connect to the Sonos system. 

What Makes Sonos Stand Out 

Sonos is renowned for its user-friendly whole-home audio systems. Setting up a Sonos system is a breeze—simply plug in the speakers and connect them to the Sonos app. Your Sonos speakers will communicate with each other over Wi-Fi, providing a stable and robust connection. In situations where Wi-Fi is unavailable, Sonos can switch to Bluetooth mode, ensuring seamless playback.  

For larger systems or homes with Wi-Fi dead spots, the Sonos Boost network extender can be used to extend the network coverage. Controlling your Sonos system is effortless through the intuitive Sonos app, which allows you to stream music from popular services and group speakers for synchronized playback. 

Sonos Outdoor Speakers 

Don’t forget the backyard! Sonos also manufactures outdoor speakers that can stay mounted outside permanently. These speakers are designed to withstand the elements, making them ideal for a setting like Lake Winnipesaukee. 

With Sonos outdoor speakers, you can mount them on the walls of your house or other outdoor structures, creating a permanent audio solution for your outdoor spaces. Sonos outdoor speakers do need to be hardwired to the Amp, which a Sonos dealer can help you with.  

Whether you're hosting a lakeside party, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a barbecue, Sonos outdoor speakers deliver high-quality sound that fills your backyard areas with your favorite tunes. You can trust that these speakers will endure exposure to the sun, rain, and other weather conditions without compromising their performance or durability.
