Outdoor Audio Setup - How I Set Up My Pool Area (Multi-Zone, Network Controlled)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- The outdoor kitchen and pool area is almost complete. This setup is total overkill but you know me, so I went with a network controlled 3 zone system, with 2 Audio Control RS500 sub amps, the NAD CI580 BluOS network music player (essentially 4 BluSound nodes in one), an NAD CI8-150 DSP (8 ch. 150 watts per channel monster) all feeding my in-ceiling subwoofers and OW 8/OW6 outdoor speakers that Mike is installing. The software for the network is simple but extensive and I show you how to set it up.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
I love it when Matt gets on a roll and starts talking to a point where I really don't have a clue what he's explaining anymore. Lost in Matt Moreman Madness.
Ha, ha...
I love that counter top and cabinets. Mike did a great job!
the thing with home automation is no one or nothing can read you mind for what you want to happen and when. Thats why the best home automation setups are the people who do it DIY and spen a LOT of time doing it. and therefor the best solutions ive seen are all based on home assistant which is open source meaning all that is happening is more transparent and you have a larger say in the automation process. :D ofc some generic features can easily be put in a box and sold, but many of those thing dont have the big wow factor people expect from home automation. ofc machine learning might help us with this in the future but its a complex problem to handle the feedback though computation in a way that normal people can be bothered with :D
I did my house with HA. Definately a solution for a person who can tweak it themselves. Not a turn-key solution.
@@drivingpsyche yeah, exactly. What i mean is people dont realize how many home automation features just arent turn key since you need to specify them so precisely for them to be of value to you, and generic turn key solutions often is not worth it
Never overkill -- Thank you for going through your setup.
With the ability to run cables in the attic, this would have been a lot cleaner of an install to put the equipment in a wall-mount rack in the garage and run speaker cables from there. Or with your theater on the other side of the wall, you could have located this equipment in your TV stand.
Cinnamon rolls in the trunk!!!! Let’s do this!😂😂😂
Camera guy just needed to throw the 69 number out there when talking about matts height for the tv 🤣🤣
Give these electronics two years max in Florida outdoors
They will be fine.
All right I'm going to pick on you a little bit, you got all those cabinets outside and you put your audio crap up on top where all the smoke humidity and moisture is going to accumulate? Those components are going to be toast in no time, the speakers may be outdoor rated but the rack gear is not.
They will be just fine. Putting in the cabinet will be much worse for them.
You could have logged in to the unifi os to get the IP address. No need to pay for any app to do that or allow an app to scan your network
I don't have a Ubiquiti system here. TP Link system I have doesn't show IP address.
Working my way through your videos. (Just left a question on the video where you introduce the Dynaudio EVOKE speakers.) I used to own an integrator business. Here's a little tip if your network connected device (e.g. BlueOS) is ethernet-only and you can't get cable to it: Use a WiFi mesh network device (assuming you have a WiFi network), like an eero, which has an RJ-45 port. Plug your network device into that port. Voila, connected. It isn't optimal, but if you can't get cable to an area it works.
lanscan is a great app. You dont need to worry about sharing your internal IPs on camera, they are only available to someone who is already inside your network. If someone can use them for anything nefarious, they are behind your firewall, and you've already lost the battle. Im interested in buying one of the NAD CI 580 V2 to replace my old Google Chromecast audios i was using for my distributed audio system, ill shoot you an email, at ~$1600 a 4 zone source that supports MQA seems like a really good value.
Love the evo!
I know this is an older video but looking for a music streamer but for 8 zones (whole house) do you know if NAD makes a good 8 zone? Or could you link two 580’s in the app?
You can do up to 64 zones with BluOS app. Yes, you can link two CI580s. Hit me up matt@obsessedgarage.com. I'd love to help you figure that out. It's much simpler than you'd think.
Not a bad setup, but not the way I would have done it.
I would have prefered to install the speakers on the opposite side of the Pool firing towards the house. Then depending on the system you choose (we use CoastalSource), I would install a system that cancels the back wave of the subwoofers, basically rendering bothering the neighbors a moot point. This would give a whole different level of sound quality and control.
Getting wiring out there wasn't really an option without a whole lot of work.
Might be worth a shot to go eARC out of the TV to the amps via an HDMI audio extractor to regain volume control on the apple remote
That's not a bad idea.
eARC to an audio extractor doesn't gain anything over running toslink or stereo out of the TV when running to the CI580 as an intermediary.
@@cavalier240 Using the eARC would allow the TV to also control volume whereas the optical is fixed level. Yes you would end up with two volume controls, but the ability for anybody to pick up the ATV remote outside and change volume rather than bothering Matt to change it on his phone may outweigh the slight added complexity.
@@Zach_Miller eARC is also a fixed level output, just like optical. ARC/eARC combined with CEC is how you get your TV remote to control volume when connected to a receiver that also supports CEC. However an extractor going down to analog audio won't have that capability.
I'd be all over this but my budget says otherwise. I'm similar in that my home network is wired. No wifi at all and nearly everything g I've looked at cant communicate to my phone since it's not on a wifi network. My security cameras I can get through port forwarding. So I was interested in how this worked. But then I saw Matt doing the ip addresses on his laptop which must have been on wifi. So I'm a bit lost as to that piece of this system
Should put speekers in the pool
You are combining / bridging by software? Not by electrical - (wires), connection bridging / combining… Yes? - No? 😊. Interesting video.
First, you'd choose the correct bridged speaker connections then assign inside the software as bridged channels.
@@ObsessedGarage. Excellent - Perfect - Thanks! (Wanted to confirm no electrical doubling up / bridging).
Never heard of blue sound going to check it out. Was looking at doing something similar on my back patio with Denon Heos. Feels like different flavor of same thing, Heos has an ugly app though from what I’ve seen.
BluOS is so good!
@24:51🤣 🛻...💨 🚓...💨
150 on the dash! I'm in the Chicago land area and driving to Country Bake Shoppe for a dozen fresh cinnamon rolls in Cleveland Georgia
That's over 11 hour drive😫
Followed your lead on evo grill and alfresco but went with Sonos amps and Nile outdoor speakers instead
Yeah man...I had Sonos stuff two houses ago. It's not great. I won't be doing them again. The app/interface is not great and the amps are pretty underpowered in comparison to something like this.
@@ObsessedGarage I agree but I hardly ever use the Sonos app. Just via third party apps and that convenience is why I went with three Sonos amps
Am I invited to the outdoor party ? lol
Why not a Sunbright outdoor tv ?
Brightness would be a plus, but he would be paying a multitude more for weather resistance that they don't need
I've never had the balls to pull the trigger on one. They are a lot for the amount I'm using it.
Creston has always sucked because no one pays what it takes to make it good, plus installers usually aren’t audio engineers. Combine that with a poor audio room and you get 90% of their installs.
