Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 Weatherproof Satellite LoudSpeakers
Check out the Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 weatherproof loudspeakers. B & W make some of our favorite speakers and we are excited to see an indoor/outdoor weatherproof version that can withstand the elements and still sound great! Excellent for your man cave or guy patio; friends, beers, tunes and your outdoor grill.
The AM-1 Architectural Monitor delivers 2-way inverted drive unit configuration with 1inch or 25mm aluminum-done tweeters mounted below a 5 inch or 130mm glass-fiber bass/midrange driver that promises to evenly disperse sound even when mounted high on a wall. The ABR or rear mounted auxiliary bass radiator provides that all essential bass to thicken up your sound, while remaining sealed to the outside elements.
The Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 satellites attach to an elegant cast aluminum, one-plug mounting system and offers 110 degrees of rotation. The AM-1’s are encased in rustproof aluminum grille with a rigid cabinet with glass-filled plastics and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it is safe from dust, moisture, salt spray and UV exposure.
