The Problem
Although there are hundreds of
outdoor rated speakers on the market, they all rely on an
audio source that's typically located indoors. This requires
complicated installation procedures such as drilling
holes in your house, running wires from the speakers through
exterior insulation filled walls and often, fighting to get them through
multiple walls before finally reaching the source.
In most cases, even once this
daunting task is complete you will still have no control
over your source unit from the outdoor location.
While a few higher end
systems do offer optional volume and control modules,
they're ultra-expensive, limited in functionality and
because they are wall mounted, you'll have to leave that
comfortable spot you're in to make any desired adjustments.
This traditional method is practically
out-of-the-question for areas such as boat docks, tennis courts and other
similar areas that are separated from the main residence by
quite a
distance.
Before the introduction of DeckTunes, the only
alternative was to carry a small radio or "boom box" back and forth
which can be a hassle, especially considering that the sound produced from such a device is of moderate quality, very localized
and that leaving it exposed to the elements will quickly
ruin it.
The Solution
After hearing numerous
complaints from
frustrated music
lovers like yourself, the founders of Outdoor Audio set out to develop a solution
and as a result, you can finally locate your outdoor
audio source outside where it belongs!
Innovative
DeckTunes
is the first self contained, 100% weatherproof audio source intended to
be permanently mounted and left outdoors year round1 and
it was created by audio enthusiasts who love their tunes and understand that
everything goes better with music!
In 2006, we were determined to build a
complete outdoor audio system that could easily be installed without relying
on any inside audio systems and could be left outdoors whatever the weather.
Our goal was to eliminate the “hassle factor” involved with permanent
outdoor audio installation and the inconvenience of not having localized
control over the music source. Eight months, many late nights and a ton of
fun later, we developed DeckTunes.
Several years and lots of happy customers
later, we improved upon the concept by redesigning DeckTunes in 2010 and we
incorporated many of the most frequently requested enhancements. Our
customers spoke...we listened and delivered!
Feature Rich
Our DeckTunes units feature a high powered 4
channel head unit; internal UL® listed watertight power supply;
AM/FM stereo receiver; iPod®, iPhone®, USB and MP3
player connectivity; 1GB of on-board flash memory for digital media storage
& playback; Sirius satellite radio receiver; waterproof media player storage
drawer; internal power amplified antenna; standard 12 volt receptacle for
charging portable media devices and includes a remote control that operates
via radio frequency and is also waterproof and actually floats for easy
access in a pool or hot tub.
Safe
All DeckTunes electrical
components are isolated from the consumer by a UL® Listed fiberglass
enclosure and further protection is provided by the enclosed UL®
listed waterproof power supply and multiple
protection circuits.
When used in conjunction with a GFCI outlet,
DeckTunes is safe for use just about
anywhere the sun shines or rain falls.
Convenient
Don't care for the song that just started to play,
change it. Incoming phone call you need to take, mute it. Volume not to your
liking, adjust it. Want a change of pace, choose a different station or plug in your MP3 Player.
With DeckTunes
nearby, all of this control is within easy reach and most of it can be
accomplished from the comfort of your chair, hot tub or pool by using the included remote! |
