Beyond Audio in Carefree.
Mountain-view estates with deep outdoor-living programs. Beyond Audio integrates the outdoor audio, video, lighting, and gate-intercom systems Carefree’s properties demand.
Carefree living, seamlessly automated.
Carefree sits in the high Sonoran Desert north of Scottsdale, a town of boulder-strewn mountain-view estates and a relaxed, outdoor-oriented lifestyle. The homes here lean heavily on outdoor living — and that shapes the systems we design.
Beyond Audio integrates the outdoor audio, video, lighting, and gate-intercom systems that Carefree properties demand, all unified with whole-home automation indoors. Our Scottsdale headquarters is a short drive south, so Carefree is comfortable, local territory for our crew.
These properties often feature dramatic natural boulder formations, expansive patios, and pool areas built for entertaining. We specify weatherized gear that survives the desert and program scenes that make the outdoor spaces as effortless to control as the great room.
What a Carefree project typically demands.
Outdoor-first system design
Carefree living happens outside. We design pool, patio, and ramada AV around Coastal Source weatherized speakers and lighting, outdoor-rated displays, and Lutron heat-rated dimmers — with scene control that makes the whole outdoor program one-touch simple.
Gate intercom & property security
Carefree’s estate lots frequently sit behind gates with long driveways. We integrate gate intercom, entry control, and video surveillance into the home automation system, so arrivals, cameras, and access all live on the same interface.
Boulder-lot networking
Natural rock formations and spread-out structures make wireless coverage a real engineering problem. We design the network to reach every patio, casita, and outbuilding — no dead zones across the property.
Whole-home automation indoors
Inside, Crestron or Control4 ties lighting, climate, audio, video, and security together. One platform indoors and out, one interface, one accountable team.
