Outdoor Speaker Systems in the Hamptons
Balanced audio for patios, pools, and backyard spaces, designed for how your home is actually used.
Serving Westhampton, Noth Sea, Amaganset and Eastern Long Island.
Outdoor Audio Designed for Eastern Long Island Homes
Smart Home Hamptons has been designing and supporting outdoor speaker systems for more than 20 years across the East End. Every project begins with how the space is used, from quiet mornings on the patio to larger gatherings around the pool. The goal is consistent, even sound that carries naturally without needing to raise the volume or adjust settings from one area to another.
We work with proven brands including Coastal Source, Sonance, Origin Acoustics, JBL, and KEF, selecting equipment based on layout, listening areas, and long-term durability in coastal conditions. Systems are planned to perform reliably through changing weather while remaining simple to control. The result is sound that feels like part of the home, not something added after the fact.
Backyard Sound Not Working the Way It Should?
A lot of homes we visit already have outdoor speakers in place, but the system does not feel right. Music may sound too loud in one area and too quiet in another, or it fades out as you move through the space. In some cases, the system works, but it is inconsistent or difficult to control.
In most situations, it is not about replacing everything. It is about correcting placement, improving coverage, stabilizing connections, and tuning the system so it sounds balanced across the entire space.
Common Issues We Fix
-
Music that is too loud in one area and too quiet in another
-
Dead zones where sound drops off completely
-
Speakers that sound thin, harsh, or lack bass
-
Systems that cut in and out or lose connection
-
Older equipment that works, but does not perform well.
-
Controls that feel confusing or inconsistent to use

Why Outdoor Sound Feels Different When It’s Done Right
Even Sound
Outdoor audio is designed to stay consistent across the space, so music sounds balanced whether you are by the pool, on the patio, or moving through the yard.
No Dropouts
Permanent systems remove the need for portable speakers, giving you reliable sound without connection drops, charging concerns, or limited coverage.
Clean Design
Speaker styles are selected to blend into the landscape, keeping the space visually clean without exposed equipment or clutter throughout the yard.
Simple Control
Control everything from the same apps and devices you already use, so starting music, adjusting volume, and managing zones feels simple and familiar.
Outdoor Speaker Solutions for Hamptons Homes
Backyard sound systems are not one-size-fits-all, the right solution depends on how your space is used, how large the area is, and how visible you want the equipment to be. Some homeowners prefer speakers that blend into the landscape, while others want focused sound for a patio or outdoor kitchen. Each approach is designed differently to deliver balanced sound, reliable performance, and a clean look that fits the property.
Here are the most common weatherproof speaker solutions, along with real examples of systems we trust and what homeowners can expect from each.
LANDSCAPE SPEAKER SYSTEMS
These systems use multiple small speakers placed throughout planting beds and exterior areas to create even sound coverage across the entire yard. Instead of sound coming from one location, it surrounds the space naturally.
Common brands and systems:
Coastal Source Systems — ~$3,500–$10,000+
Sonance Landscape Series — ~$2,500–$8,000+
Origin Acoustics Seasons — ~$3,000–$9,000+
Best for:
Larger properties
Pools, patios, and open yards
Even sound without hot spots
Surface-Mount Weatherproof Speakers
These are mounted under eaves, on walls, or beams and direct sound toward a specific seating or dining area. They are ideal when you want focused audio without covering the entire yard.
We offer:
JBL Control Series — ~$300–$1,200 per pair
KEF Ventura Series — ~$600–$1,500 per pair
Sonance Mariner Series — ~$500–$1,500 per pair
Best for:
Covered patios
Outdoor kitchens
Decks and seating areas
Rock Speakers
Designed to blend into the environment, these speakers resemble natural stone or low-profile landscape elements while still delivering strong performance.
Our favorite manufacturers:
Sonance Rock Speakers — ~$700–$1,500 each
Coastal Source Rock Speakers — ~$1,200–$2,500 each
Origin Acoustics Rock Series — ~$800–$2,000 each
Best for:
Garden beds
Natural landscapes
Areas where visibility is a concern
Bollard and Architectural Speakers
These speakers are designed as part of the landscape or architecture. They sit higher off the ground and can deliver broader, more detailed sound coverage.
Common brands and systems:
Origin Acoustics Bollard Series — ~$2,000–$6,000+ each
Coastal Source Bollard Systems — ~$2,500–$7,000+ each
Sonance Landscape Bollard — ~$1,500–$5,000+ each
Best for:
High-end landscapes
Open seating areas
Homes where design matters as much as performance
Outdoor Subwoofers
Subwoofers add depth and low-frequency sound that smaller speakers cannot produce. Many are buried or hidden, so you hear the impact without seeing the equipment.
Best Weatherprof Subs:
Sonance In-Ground Subwoofers — ~$1,000–$3,500+
Coastal Source Subwoofers — ~$1,500–$4,000+
Origin Acoustics Sub Series — ~$1,200–$3,500+
Best for:
Full outdoor home theater systems
Music with bass and depth
Larger entertaining spaces
Weatherproof Soundbars
For outdoor TV setups, soundbars provide a simple way to improve dialogue clarity and overall audio performance without installing a full speaker system.
Common brands and systems:
Samsung Terrace Soundbar — ~$800–$1,500
SunBrite Soundbar — ~$900–$1,800
Best for:
Weatherproof TV setups
Covered patios
Smaller spaces
