Weatherproof Indoor/Outdoor Speaker Pair

The Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 is a passive two-way loudspeaker pair built for permanent installation in exposed locations. Its weatherproof cabinet and rust-proof aluminium grille suit patios, gardens, poolside areas, bars and restaurants where conventional speakers would degrade quickly.

Check amplifier compatibility and mounting height

These speakers require an external amplifier or receiver with speaker-level outputs; verify your amp can drive a 6 ohm nominal load. The inverted driver array is optimised for high wall mounting, so plan brackets and cable runs for elevated positioning to achieve the intended dispersion pattern.

Consistent output during extended outdoor use

The glassfibre bass/midrange driver and auxiliary bass radiator maintain low-frequency response during long listening sessions without thermal compression. UV-resistant plastics and salt-spray tested hardware prevent performance drift caused by sustained heat, humidity or coastal air exposure.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the AM-1 speaker pair and is any cabling included?

The package contains two AM-1 speakers with rust-proof aluminium grilles and mounting brackets. Speaker cable is not included and must be purchased separately to connect the speakers to your amplifier.

Should I choose the AM-1 over a portable Bluetooth model for a covered patio system?

Choose the AM-1 if you want a permanent, wired installation with a 1-inch Nautilus-tube tweeter and 5-inch glassfibre mid/bass driver fed by a separate amplifier. A portable Bluetooth model is better for occasional, cable-free listening.

How does the 5-inch glassfibre driver with ABR perform when the speaker is mounted high under eaves?

The inverted driver array places the tweeter below the mid/bass unit so sound is directed downward toward the listening area. The Auxiliary Bass Radiator extends low-frequency output despite the compact cabinet.
