Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside

Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden.

Our take on the Yamaha NS-AW190

by Chris Egner

Take advantage of Yamaha's natural sound on your deck or patio with the NS-AW190s. These speakers are designed to withstand the elements and deliver rich, realistic sound outdoors. A 1/2" tweeter reproduces the high frequencies, while a 5" woofer takes care of low frequencies down to an impressive 65 Hz. Yamaha includes fully adjustable mounting brackets, so you can aim the 'AW190s toward your picnic table or favorite lawn chair.

    All-Weather Speaker: The NS-AW190 speakers have water-resistant enclosures that protect the speaker from the elements when mounted outdoors. The Yamaha NS-AW190 Outdoor Speakers house a single woofer and tweeter inside the all-weather acoustic suspension enclosure. The NS-AW190 also features weatherproof spring speaker terminals and non-removable aluminum speaker grilles.

    Mounting Options

    Driver Technology

    Woofer: The Yamaha NS-AW190 All-Weather Speakers use a 6-ohm 5" high compliance polypropylene mica filled woofer with a rubber surround for durability and sound quality. 

    1/2" PEI Dome Tweeter: The NS-AW190 All-Weather Speakers feature a 1/2" PEI dome tweeter for excellent high frequency response.

    Wide Dispersion: These speakers are designed with a wide dispersion pattern which means you will get good sound quality over a large listening area up to 400 square feet. It is recommended to place the speaker between 6 feet and 10 feet apart.

    Mounting Options

    Mounting: The Yamaha NS-AW190 speakers come with mounting brackets which allow you to mount the speakers to your outdoor wall, in corners or under eves of your home to minimize the speakers' exposure to rain or snow. Using the supplied mounting brackets, the NS-AW190 can be mounted vertically or horizontally. When the speaker is mounted horizontally, the speaker can be rotated left or right; when the speaker is mounted vertically, the speaker can be angled up or down. The mounting bracket can also be used to place the speaker on a shelf or table in a horizontal or vertical position. The NS-AW190 speakers also feature a single 1/4" threaded insert for attaching an optional wall-mount bracket, sold separately.

    Great Bang for the Buck

    Written By GAJ, Santa Rosa, CA on Sunday, June 16, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Over the decades I've owned 5 or 6 pairs of outdoor speakers, my latest are Boston Acoustics and I'd give those 4.5 out of 5.

    Bought these for my daughter.

    For the price the Yamahas can't be beat.
    Pros:
    Excellent sound, good looks, excellent brackets, easy to install.
    Cons:
    There should be additional screw holes that are closer together to allow them to be installed on the narrow side of a 2x4 roof joist.

    For the $$, I'm very happy

    Written By Greg, San Juan, Puerto Rico on Wednesday, June 12, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This product beats Bose speakers (with a 60% higher price tag) hands down. I've owned both and I am very satisfied with the Yamahas. THey're not terrifically loud, but very well-balance for reasonable volume situations. I have a set on my patio and one on my living room.
    Pros:
    Excellent price tag/performance ratio
    Cons:
    They could be a little louder and they definitely need a little EQing. (nit-picking)

    Just installed these and I was very impressed. Separation was good. Clarity was exceptional, Bass was acceptable for a speaker in this price range. Very satisfied for what I wanted to do out on my deck with pool. We'll see if they hold up. So far so good!

    Sweet Spot Between Price and Quality

    Written By IanW, Houston, TX on Wednesday, April 24, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    When I sought speakers for my remodeled patio, the Yamaha NS-AW190 speakers hit the sweet spot between price and quality, including a must-have in any speaker I buy: rubber driver surrounds.

    When I tested them inside the house, they sounded very good at have-to-yell-over-the-music volume. Accept that you simply cannot get abyss-deep bass out of a 5" woofer and you should be perfectly satisfied. Deep bass on an outdoor speaker is not a priority with me anyway: I prefer not to inflict my music on my neighbors in hopes they will return that courtesy.

    There is no apparent way to non-destructively remove the grilles in case you want to paint the housings: I took the manual's silence on the issue as a "no," and since this was not a deal-killer for my use I bought them anyway.

    I have always had good, long-term experiences with Yamaha stereo equipment and these speakers should be no exception!
    Pros:
    Very good sound for this size speaker and price is fair for the quality. Driver surrounds are rubber!
    Cons:
    Non-removable grills, if painting housings to match is a priority.

    much more cost effective than Bose exterior "environmental" speakers..

    Written By JS, Marshallton, Pa on Monday, December 10, 2012
     
    I originally bought one pair; just ordered three more. I run them outside playing water sounds to mask road noises. I also have a number of Bose environmental exterior speakers, playing the same material. And if anything, the Yamaha's sound better for what I am using them--perhaps because they are more directional...The Bose, however, are much easier to install--you don't need to hang them, as they sit on the ground; and you can therefore move them around easily if need be... The Yamaha's are stationary, meant to be hung on the wall...
    Pros:
    very cost effective...
    Cons:
    you need to hang them...

    Product received on time, very well packaged( you could have dropped it from the roof!) good and easy to follow assembly directions, well designed product ( even a safety clip to protect from falling when wall mounted) product performs as anticipated, good value for the money. Will buy from your company again. Can always depend on Yamaha even now that product made in China. Thanks!

    Yamaha NS-AW190BL

    Written By Islandreamer, Virginia Beach, VA on Sunday, June 03, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is an upgrade to my Radio Shack Optimus bookshelf speaker. What a difference these Yamahas' has made to tonal reproduction. The highs were a lot clearer and vocals sounded more natural. Bass is adequate. I chose these for its wider frequency range and slightly larger woofer. For the price, these outdoor speakers are hard to beat. I'm enjoying my patio and grilling a whole lot better!
    Pros:
    Wide frequency response. Nice modern design. 5 inch woofer.
    Cons:
    None for now. Time will tell if it will last past its 2 year warranty.
