Enhancing Outdoor Entertainment with the Samsung Terrace Soundbar

What’s up, Dream Media family! Zach here, and today we’re taking you through the installation of the Samsung Terrace Soundbar to complement the already stunning Samsung Terrace Outdoor TV. I’m joined by our regional sales manager, Chase Williams, in Colorado, where we’re showing off this seamless upgrade to outdoor entertainment.

Why the Upgrade?

While the Samsung Terrace TV has been performing exceptionally well for the past year and a half, the built-in speakers left something to be desired, especially when it came to dialogue clarity. Here’s the situation:
• Multiple Zones: Between the fire pit, couch, and hot tub, audio clarity often gets muddied.
• Distributed Audio System: Focal landscape speakers and wall-mounted speakers spread sound across the backyard, but the TV’s built-in speakers couldn’t keep up.
• Family Use: Whether it’s my son watching Bluey or guests enjoying music by the fire pit, the need for balanced and clear audio was paramount.

The Solution: The Samsung Terrace Soundbar, an outdoor-rated, weatherproof soundbar, designed specifically for the Samsung Terrace TV, enhances dialogue while blending perfectly into the space.

Installation Process

Tools & Hardware:
• Phillips-Head Drill/Driver: For precision with mounting brackets.
• Brackets & Screws: Included in the soundbar package.
• Weatherproof Connections: Rubber grommets ensure a watertight seal.

Steps:
1. Bracket Installation: Attach brackets directly to the Terrace TV. The pre-aligned holes make installation foolproof.
2. Mounting the Soundbar: The soundbar clicks into place with top hooks and bottom locking clips—no need to remove the TV mount.
3. Weatherproof Connections: Route the optical cable and power cord through grommeted seals to maintain weather resistance.
4. Wire Management: Secure the power brick and Sonos Port behind the TV, ensuring a clean and organized setup.

Pro Tips for Success
• Use Manual Tools for Tight Spaces: Avoid stripping screws with power tools in sensitive areas.
• Future-Proofing: Include additional wiring (e.g., optical cables) for potential system upgrades.
• Optimize TV Settings: Disable auto-start features like Smart Hub to reduce lag and improve responsiveness when powering on the TV.

Performance Review

After installation, the improvement was immediate and remarkable:
• Enhanced Dialogue: The soundbar directs clear, powerful audio straight to the primary seating area, resolving dialogue issues.
• Zone Independence: The distributed audio system and soundbar now work in harmony, allowing each zone to enjoy appropriate sound levels without competing.
• Effortless Control: The soundbar integrates seamlessly with the TV remote and the home’s URC system, simplifying operation.

Outdoor Entertainment: Complete Integration

This setup isn’t just about better sound. It’s about transforming the entire outdoor space:
• Flexible Viewing Angles: The articulating TV mount allows the screen to pivot toward any zone, whether it’s the fire pit, grill, or hot tub.
• Weatherproof Technology: From the Focal landscape speakers to the Samsung Terrace system, everything is built to withstand Colorado’s extreme weather conditions.
• Multi-Zone Audio Control: With the Sonos Port, we can route TV audio to the entire backyard system or isolate zones for a customized experience.
