Create Your Outdoor Entertainment Oasis with Audio and Video
Bring Music and Video Outside Under the Desert Stars
We’ve all had plenty of time indoors lately, so it’s natural to want to get outside more. Granted, at the height of summer in Las Vegas, that is not so easy. But when the sun goes down and the temperature eases, the desert nights can be pleasant. And in spring and fall, it’s a glorious season to spend time outdoors.
If you’ve invested in your outdoor spaces with a pool, patio, fireplace, and more, you can derive even more enjoyment with an outdoor entertainment system. And we're not just talking about sound; we're talking about outdoor TV for everything from sports to movie nights under the stars.
Keep reading to see how you can take your favorite entertainment outside – just be judicious about the Vegas sun!

Outdoor Audio
Many people have excellent sound systems indoors but settle for inferior solutions outside, sometimes using portable speakers. Great sound is achievable outdoors with the right planning and choices. Fortunately, a plethora of options exists for quality outdoor audio. You might be concerned about longevity given the Vegas heat and occasional cold spurts of winter. Rest assured that all quality outdoor speakers are weatherized and can withstand heat, cold, humidity, and even rain.
One brand we work with in outdoor sound is Sonance. The company offers a variety of speakers for different outdoor spaces, from surface-mounted models for patios to rock speakers for landscape and pool areas to satellite speakers that nestle in your gardens. You can add buried subwoofers to deliver bass punch that you might think you couldn’t get outdoors. With outdoor audio, the lack of walls and ceilings for reflection means you might need more speakers and amplifier power to get the volume you want outside. Plus, outdoor audio may have to contend with higher ambient noise like the distant hum of your pool pump or traffic. When designing an outdoor audio system, we consider all those factors and much more to create the right solution for your space and needs.
Outdoor TV
Why go inside to relax with movies, Netflix, and sports entertainment when you can do it in the fresh air? You can install an outdoor TV - or two – to enjoy your show on the patio, in the pool, or by your outdoor kitchen. Some might think that you can place an indoor TV in a covered area outside – but we highly discourage that. First, indoor TVs are not designed for high humidity environments or to get wet in any way. Perhaps more importantly, the high heat in Las Vegas could cause an indoor TV to fail prematurely or even create a fire hazard when overheated.
Fusion Home Systems works with Séura, a top manufacturer of some of the best outdoor TVs available. Models like the Ultra Bright Series have the brightness to be visible even in full sun, and they are highly weather resistant with a very high tolerance for heat. Various Séura models work in sunny areas like next to a pool or in the shade of a patio. Features like Adaptive Picture Technology monitor the ambient light and automatically optimize the display settings so you can enjoy a great picture as the light changes throughout the day.
