Create an Immersive Sound System in the Great Outdoors

Do you want to spend more time on the patio or in the backyard with friends and family? When you own an outdoor sound system, every bonfire, barbecue, and game of badminton is soundtracked like a real-life movie moment.

Many people are unaware that permanently installed, weatherproof speakers are an option for their homes. Instead, they crank the volume on a portable speaker, hoping the sound reaches all ends of the yard.

But there’s a much better way to approach outdoor audio! Read on to discover how an outdoor speaker system can deliver high-fidelity sound to your Casper, WY lawn year-round.

As We Head Into Warmer Weather, Discover the Possibilities in Outdoor AV

Remember warm summer days—when the sky stays bright into the night, and the air beckons you to dine on the patio? Those times will soon return to Wyoming as we emerge from winter, and we’ll spend more time outdoors. 

Every year, go-getters (perhaps like yourself) try to make the most of nice weather by partaking in as many summer activities as possible. Swimming, hiking, kayaking, camping… But what if you could make the most of the summer weather while relaxing at home?

Weatherproof, outdoor entertainment technology including speakers, TVs, and lighting offer a new way to enjoy fresh air. You can swap your living room for the backyard and won’t need to stay indoors on beautiful days. 

But how does outdoor entertainment work? And is it really weatherproof—even in rain and snow? 

In this article, we’ll dive into outdoor solutions available to Casper, WY homeowners, and how they can enhance daily life.

How to Build a Future-Proof Smart Home 

Just like cell phones and TVs are constantly advancing and upgrading, so does smart home technology. Twenty years ago, voice control and smart mirrors were only figments of science fiction. Who knew these would become real possibilities in smart homes today? 

We have no idea what the future holds for home automation (although we love to make predictions). Surely things will change in some ways. But if you’re worried that your smart home could become obsolete in a few years, there’s no need to fear. 

When you work with a smart home integrator like our Casper, WY team, we build a solid infrastructure that can embrace change as it comes. In this article, we’ll share how you can prepare for the future and enjoy the best of home automation today and tomorrow. 

What You Can Expect When Working with a Smart Home Company 

When you partner with a home automation company, we integrate the ultimate smart home features into your daily life. After all, a professionally installed smart home will always deliver more sophisticated and seamless results than a DIY project. 

But if this is your first smart home installation, you may be wondering how much to budget for your project. That’s why we’re here to help. Below, we’ll share what you can expect when working with a smart home integrator like our team at Nordic Sound in Casper, WY, and how much it will cost. 

Your Blueprint for AV, Security, and Home Automation Installations 

Maybe you’re building an all-new house for your family. Or perhaps you’re looking to upgrade the technology in your Wyoming home. Whether it’s a home theater, whole-home audio, security, or a smart home system, technology installations can be daunting to take on.

For the best results, a home technology project needs careful planning. If you toss together devices piece by piece over a few weekends, you’ll likely end up with a mishmash of equipment, hubs, and assistants that don’t communicate well.

And we’ve seen our fair share of failed technology setups. We’re an audio-visual company based in Casper, WY, that designs and installs smart home and AV systems. Below, we’ll share our steps to planning a home technology project and why it’s so important to be prepared.

Lift Your Spirits & Feel Better with Tunable Smart Lighting

After daylight savings in fall, it’s easy to feel a bit gloomy as the days are cut short. When it’s dark before dinner time, it seems like the hours pass by too quickly, bringing us into eternal nighttime. 

And when you’re spending more time indoors under artificial light, that can negatively affect your wellbeing. You’ve likely heard that looking at the blue light on computer screens and TVs isn’t good for our sleep and mental health. Well, the same applies to the light bulbs inside your house! 

If you’re living with lights that are too cool and bright at night, but too warm and dim during the day, you could be unintentionally souring your mood, tampering with sleep, and even causing headaches. 

But what is one to do? You can’t replace your lightbulbs twice a day. Luckily, as technology moves forward, we’re now able to light our homes more properly. Circadian lighting, also referred to as tunable lighting and human-centric lighting, can help you feel your best at home and work in Casper, WY. 

Technology that’s good for us? It may sound hard to believe. Below, we share why circadian lighting by brands like USAI and Savant is such a valuable feature to enjoy at home. 

Why Motorized Shades Are the Handiest Home Accessory 

When most people talk about motorized shades, they talk about their convenience. With one tap on your phone, wall keypad, or remote, every shade in the house can lower simultaneously. And with an automated schedule, the same blinds can rise in the morning on their own. You don’t have to dash about the house tugging on chords multiple times a day. Your window treatments handle it for you! 

But saving time isn’t the only advantage a motorized shading system will offer. With custom fabrics and intelligent controls, you can enhance many aspects of your Casper, WY home, and daily life. Discover the possibilities below!

Life Is Easier & Breezier with Lighting Control Systems

Many people don’t put much thought into their home’s lighting. They might ask themselves, “Is it bright enough in here?” and if the answer is yes, that’s the end of the lighting design.

But you’re not ‘most people’, are you? You’re reading this article because you’ve heard of smart lighting control, like the systems from Lutron and Savant, and are curious how they can benefit your daily life.

Lighting control systems provide much more than convenient ways to turn lights on and off (although that is one of the benefits!). You’ll find that with automated lighting, you’ll improve your moods, save time, and may even sleep better at night. Read on to discover the many perks smart lighting can provide your Casper, WY home.

Meet the Brand That Builds Completely Weatherproof Outdoor Lighting   

Some homeowners never get around to installing landscape lighting, instead settling for a single porch lamp. But they’re missing out on extraordinary benefits, like improved home security, safety, and spending more time outside after dark. Plus, an outdoor lighting design adds intriguing beauty to your house’s architecture and landscaping.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely considering a new landscape lighting installation. Whether you’re planning for a vacation home or full-time residence, you’ll want to invest in a lighting solution that will last for years to come.

Capture That Summer Feeling All Year & Make the Most of Your Outdoor Spaces

Picture this: it’s a sunny afternoon or a starry night in your Casper, WY backyard. You’re on the patio enjoying drinks and appetizers with friends. Or maybe you’ve got a fire going while the kids are playing on the lawn. Wouldn’t this be nice with some outdoor speakers?

Many people bring a portable speaker outside when they want to listen to tunes. But a single speaker can’t entertain a whole gathering of people across your property. For instance, if some people are lounging on hammocks and chairs by the fire, they might be out of earshot of music by the grill. But for those standing near the speaker, it might be too loud.

Plus, Bluetooth speakers are notoriously tricky to connect to, and you’ll need to ensure yours is charged before heading outdoors. Most portable speakers don’t exactly deliver high-end audio, either. There’s got to be a better way…

And there is! Weatherproof outdoor audio by brands like Coastal Source and Revel stay installed outside all year long. And with a network of speakers, you’ll enjoy music evenly dispersed across your property. Explore your options for outdoor entertainment below.
