Bowers & Wilkins AM1 Outdoor Speakers - Great sound, whatever the weather

The Bowers & Wilkins AM1 is a durable, weatherproof loudspeaker that delivers high-performance audio in an incredibly resilient and versatile package. Suitable for use outside and indoors, AM1 is available in white or black finishes.

Articulate, exciting and powerful, B&W AM1 avoids the compromises commonly associated with all-weather monitors, and delivers all the performance expected of a Bowers & Wilkins loudspeaker. The AM1 is based on a two-way design and features an inverted drive unit configuration, with the AM1’s 1inch (25mm) aluminium-dome tweeter mounted below rather than above a 5inch (130mm) glassfibre bass/midrange driver. This ensures optimal dispersion of sound when the speaker is mounted high on the wall.

The AM1’s low-frequency output is bolstered by the use of a rear-mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR). Used instead of a conventional bass reflex port, the ABR endows AM1 with exceptional bass response for a cabinet of its size. Unlike a port, it also provides AM1’s cabinet with a continual seal against the elements. This combination of advanced drive units, unique configuration and classically simple crossover components combines to create a loudspeaker as musical as it is flexible.

The B&W AM1 has been carefully designed to be easy to install. Its elegant cast aluminium wall bracket incorporates an ingenious one-plug mounting system. Designed to be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode when mounting, extra flexibility is offered by AM1’s ability to be rotated through 110 degrees from centre in both directions. Its minimal projection out from a wall also adds to its appeal. So, while AM1 has obvious applications such as providing high-quality audio around gardens, patios and around swimming pools, its sleek design will also find favour indoors. Venues such as bars, restaurants and other communal areas will benefit from AM-1’s winning combination of premium sound quality, discreet styling, flexibility and durable construction.

B&W AM1 combines a rust-proof aluminium grille with a rigid cabinet composed of glass-filled plastics, ensuring class-leading resistance to extremes of dust, moisture and UV exposure. It has also undergone rigorous, continuous testing in an accelerated salt-spray chamber, plus outdoor UV accelerated life tests to ensure its parts don’t fade or discolour.

Please note B&W AM1's are priced and sold in stereo pairs.
