Welcome to the fourth installment in our AV 101 series. In this post we are looking to educate you to all of the reasons you want and need outdoor audio and video and why you need equipment built for outside use to guarantee performance and longevity.

Here at AV Enthusiast, we understand that many of the terms used in the Audio Video industry are confusing and not always very intuitive. Often this can lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication on what your needs and wants for your home can be. As is often said, “Knowledge is power”, so we want to help all of our readers be more knowledgable of A/V terms. This article will be the first in a series that attempt to explain industry terminology in a way that everyone can understand. To help accomplish this, we are proud to bring you our new blog series, AV 101. Today we kick it off with Session 1 - Surround sound vs. Distributed audio.
