Creating a Backyard Retreat with the Latest Technology

In Kalispell, MT, the beauty of the surrounding landscape beckons homeowners to venture outdoors. However, one doesn’t always have to head to Flathead Lake or Glacier National Park to see the wonders surrounding us. Sometimes, it’s the beauty in our own backyard and the friends and family that gather there that leave us spellbound.

Today, more families than ever are kicking this experience up a notch with outdoor entertainment. Gone are the one-directional under-eave speakers and the projectors and screens that create grainy images even after dark. In their place are high-performance outdoor 4K UHD TVs and immersive audio revealed by landscape speakers.

Let’s explore the possibilities and how the latest outdoor AV is transforming homes in Flathead Valley. 

Bring High-Fidelity Music and Surround Sound to Every Room

Listening to music has been shown to have a powerful effect on humans. It triggers the release of hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, promoting feelings of pleasure, happiness, and well-being. It’s been shown to reduce anxiety and stress and even improve memories. 

When you’re pushing to complete that last mile or make it through a challenging time, music is often the medium that pulls you through. 

The question then becomes, how do you celebrate this incredible gift? Do you have a dedicated listening room in your home or a Bluetooth speaker that follows you from room to room and out into the yard? Do you listen to your favorite movies from the dedicated TV speakers or enjoy the surround sound that takes you to the image unfolding on the screen? 

What if you could experience high-fidelity audio throughout your home with one tap on a touchscreen? What if the crystal-clear, lifelike sound effects provided by surround sound were available throughout your house in Whitefish, MT? What if?

At Eyehear Technology Group, we’re always excited to share information about one of our clients’ favorite entertainment systems. It’s called a whole-house music system, and it’s transforming the listening experience in homes throughout Flathead Valley.
