Homeowners in northern Chicago suburbs renovated their property with an inspiring landscape for entertaining during the warmer months. Upon completion of the gardens, they wanted to upgrade the sound system, which originally consisted of a handful of faux rock speakers around the pool, to extend across the entire property.

They turned to OSA to design, configure and install a high-tech audio system throughout their stunning picturesque garden. The expansive outdoor area is equipped with a fully automated, sophisticated audio system to create an extraordinary sound experience. OSA installed scalable Sonance SLS Landscape Series speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers. The SLS system blends in, is out-of-sight, positioned strategically under plants, flowers and foliage, and delivers even, high-quality sound coverage.

OSA also installed a Ruckus ZoneFlex Dual-Band Wi-Fi Outdoor Access Point to easily access music, a Savant Matrix Switcher and Controller, SurgeX power protection and Middle Atlantic 38-space multi-bay rack.

The homeowners’ first experience with OSA was in 2014. They hired OSA to design and install an automated whole-home audio and video system with a Savant controller utilizing iPads as the control devices. When expanding into the home’s outdoor media, OSA utilized the Savant controllers again to allow for a fully integrated system. The owners are able to control all the audio and video systems on the property, both indoors and outdoors, from their iPads.
