Brave the elements

For those who want to bring impeccable Bowers & Wilkins sound quality to places where conventional speakers fear to tread, we’ve come up with the ideal solution: the AM-1 architectural monitor. This ultra-durable, weather resistant speaker is designed with the outdoors in mind – perfect for patios, gardens and poolsides – but its robust design and sleek looks also make it a great choice for public indoor spaces.

Use anywhere

Sometimes music sounds even better in the open air – so Bowers & Wilkins has developed an outdoor speaker designed to deliver great sound whatever the weather and wherever you are. With its rust-proof aluminium grille and super-rigid cabinet, AM-1 is our most durable speaker ever. To make sure every AM-1 is highly resistant to the elements, each speaker must pass a range of rigorous weather tests, including UV exposure and testing inside an accelerated salt-spray chamber. Indoors
or outdoors, at home or in a restaurant, it’s guaranteed to perform whatever the weather.

Technology

AM-1 takes everything we know about high performance audio and adapts it to meet the demands of a versatile, all-weather monitor. The speaker combines tried and trusted technologies with new innovations – like an inverted driver array for optimum sound dispersion when the speaker is mounted high on a wall, and an advanced bass radiator design that maximises low-frequency performance while keeping the speaker sealed from the elements.

ABR

With AM-1, we’ve come up with an ingenious solution to the problem of producing powerful bass from a weatherproof speaker. Instead of the FlowportTM found in our traditional speakers, AM-1’s cabinet integrates a rear- mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR). As well as maintaining the cabinet’s weather-tight seal, the ABR gives the AM-1 truly remarkable bass response for a speaker of its kind.

Model of discretion

AM-1 has been carefully designed to be easy to install, and its elegant cast aluminium wall bracket incorporates an ingenious one-plug mounting system. Combine this with minimal wall projection and a design that allows the speaker to be angled through 220 degrees, and you have a discreet, versatile monitor that can provide you with pristine sound almost anywhere.

Perfect sound, everywhere

The same extraordinary team of engineers that develop the world’s finest speakers turn their attention to your outside spaces. And the result is superb sound, whatever the weather, from discreet, durable, and high-performance outdoor speakers.

Performance that endures

AM-1 is entirely sealed, in order to keep the elements at bay. It’s tough and hard-wearing too, and its clever one-piece mounting system with 220-degree rotation means it’s ready to perform wherever you want it to, come rain or shine.

Easy to install, great to listen to

A one-plug, simple-to-install mounting system means AM-1 is happy vertically or horizontally. Plus, smart engineering means AM-1 sounds great whichever way you choose to mount it.

Specified and built without compromise

With our trademark Nautilus tube-loaded 25mm aluminum dome tweeter and 130mm glassfiber mid/bass driver supplemented by an auxiliary bass radiator for solid, powerful bass response, AM-1 has sound and scale way beyond its compact dimensions.
