Commonly Made Layout Mistakes

Due to the large areas that have to be covered and the difficult nature of installing outdoor speakers, it’s hard to create successful speaker layouts without the help of a professional. A common approach many people take is to mount a couple speakers on their home’s exterior and have them face outwards. You end up with a few problems when you go about it this way.

The main one is that you have uneven sound. In order to get sound to reach the outer edges of your backyard, it becomes unbearably loud in the areas closer to your home. Also, since the speakers are facing outwards the sound will inevitably leak into your neighbor’s property.

How Do Cell Phone Signal Boosters Work?

Cell phone repeaters are made up of an antenna, a signal splitter, and indoor antennas. Mount your first antenna outside your home where your coverage is the strongest. The signal is received by the antenna and passed through a cable to a splitters which then sends the signals to your indoor antennas. You can include multiple repeaters in problem areas throughout your home. Your smartphone signals then take the reverse route, sending the message to your indoor antenna, to the splitter and back out through your main antenna.
