Spring is almost here, and we're ready to be outside. Warmer temperatures and sunny skies will lure us outside. But March Madness is just around the corner too, and the NBA playoffs and our beloved Braves will soon follow, as well. We do want to spend time outdoors, but there are some important things we want to watch too.

Fear not, we have a solution. An outdoor TV installation can help you enjoy all the sports and shows you don’t want to miss, and you can do it all in the fresh outside air – even in the sun on your Roswell patio if you like. You might ask if a standard indoor TV can be placed outdoors. The answer is yes, but they're not designed to do so. First, the screens may not be designed for outdoor lighting levels. Second, swings in temperature and humidity might affect their performance, or cause them not to work at all. Finally, those pesky bugs have a way of finding their way into regular TVs and creating problems.

We at Georgia Home Theater believe indoor TVs should stay indoors. There are outdoor TVs – just like outdoor speakers – that are designed to provide years of service outside. We work with two of the best outdoor TV manufacturers - SunBriteTV and Séura – and each has the weatherproofing and screen designs to perform brilliantly outdoors.

You’ve decided this is the year you are going to invest in an outdoor audio system. Congratulations, you have made a great choice! At GHT Group, we have always thought that audio and video entertainment is not exclusively an indoor sport.

Outdoor sound, however, is not the same as indoor sound. There are a few things to contend with that you don't have to worry about inside. Indoors, it doesn't rain on your audio equipment. Most of the time, you don't have to worry about a clandestine wasp nest being built on the back of your speaker either. And finally, there are fewer walls and ceilings outside – more specifically, almost none.

We jest, but these are the things that make a distinct difference between an indoor and outdoor audio system for your Woodstock, GA home. Now, keep reading for three mistakes to avoid (hint, it's easy), and you'll be on your way to a killer sound system to make your outside spaces much more fun.

At GHT Group, we’re proud of the audio brands we work with. Names like Bowers & Wilkins, MartinLogan, Klipsch, and many more are known for their vibrant reproduction of sound, which is also a way of saying, we know what good audio is!

When you take the audio outside, there are some different challenges in achieving high sound quality. Lack of walls to reflect sound, ambient noise, and wide-open spaces all play a part in requiring more planning for a great outdoor sound system for your Brookhaven, GA home.

While there are several excellent choices for outdoor speakers – and we offer many – there is one company that we particularly like not just for sound quality but also for the complete solution they offer. Read on to learn more about creating your ultimate outdoor soundscape with Coastal Source.

Do you like to be the master of your environment? Your house can be a quiet refuge from the world outside. And when you want to change the mood, you can put on some music to energize, unwind, or something in between.

What about outdoors? When you go outside, you no longer have complete control of sound. There might be a distant drone from the highway, lawnmowers, or pool pumps piercing the serenity of your comfortable patios and landscape. But you can have a secret weapon, and it's not noise-canceling headphones. An outdoor audio system can envelop your Cumming, GA home’s outside environs with full, rich sound that makes the barking dogs and other annoyances fade into the background.

Read on to see how an outdoor audio system makes everything in your backyard a memorable experience.

Florida’s temperate year-round weather is perfect for an outdoor-oriented lifestyle. Ok, so you might be wondering, what if I want a little TV entertainment on my patio and outdoors? Can I just use a regular TV outside? The short answer is you can, but it may not be safe or last long. Regular TVs simply aren't made to withstand the heat, cold, humidity, and wetness of outdoor environments. Did we mention insects? We all know we have those in Florida too, and they might want to camp out in an unprotected TV set.
