Product Description
Product Description
Yamaha Audio NS-AW150W 2-Way Outdoor Speakers (Pair, White).
Amazon.com
Yamaha's compact NS-AW150W bookshelf speakers provide an affordable way to enjoy your music or television programming on a deck or under a porch. You can bring them in during the cold months and set them up indoors, too: their high build quality and good sound lend them equally well to two-channel indoor listening.
The speakers, which are sold as a pair, each use a 5-inch high-compliance, polypropylene, mica-filled woofer and .5-inch PEI dome tweeter. The drivers are optimized for high rigidity but low mass, giving them reasonably high sensitivity (80 dB with 2.83V at 1 meter), another way of saying modest amplifiers won't have much trouble driving them. Their acoustic-suspension cabinets are sealed to prevent undue resonance or tubby, tuneless bass, which often results from low-cost ported designs.
With a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, the speakers will work nicely with amplifiers up to 35 watts per channel, nominal, or 120 watts, peak power. They boast a frequency response of 80 to 40,000 Hz (+/-3 dB), giving you decent bass output for their compact size and unusually extended high-frequency response for your most demanding digital media. For indoor use, you may want to augment their performance with a subwoofer to deliver deeper and more powerful bass; be sure to select one with a variable crossover so you can tailor its upper frequency to effectively "take over" at the point of the NS-AW150Ws' lowest deliverable frequency.
The speakers are magnetically shielded, so you can place them on or near a TV or video monitor without fear of picture degradation from their magnetic fields. Five-way binding posts simplify connection with several different terminations of speaker cable (including banana plugs), and the NS-AW150Ws even come with two lengths of cable to get you started.
While you wouldn't want to leave the speakers exposed on, say, the deck of a boat, they are water resistant and designed to withstand light wind and rain--a benefit of their sealed enclosures and rugged metal grilles. The speakers come with mounting bases and brackets.
What's in the Box
Two speakers, two lengths of speaker cable, speaker bases, mounting brackets, a warranty card, and a user's manual.

I've been buying high end audio gear for almost 30 years - these speakers sound amazing!! And the fact that they can stay outside 8 months of the year without any worries makes them even more incredible. I live in the northeast - who sits outside on their deck in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb anyway??? In other words, as others have mentioned, don't leave these out in the extremes of winter.
Here's some tips for better sound -
*Have the speakers at least 8 to 10 ft apart, preferably against a wall, with the speakers aimed slightly inward towards your seating area.
*Some have mentioned that these speakers don't have good bass response. If at all possible, mount the speakers so the back is facing a wall. This will make a huge difference in sound reinforcement. A cornered wall even better. I didn't mount the speakers at all - I simply have them against the back wall of my house laying directly on the surface of my deck - which also helps the bass. The more direct contact any speaker can have with a floor, will greatly enhance the bass sound.
*Don't cheap out on your speaker cable!! Anytime you're considering an outdoor speaker arrangement, you have to consider pretty long runs of speaker cable. Mine is 100 ft (50 ft per speaker). Anytime you're talking about cable lengths of that kind of magnitude, you HAVE to get high quality cable. Otherwise you're probably losing half your power output along the long runs of cable. This is also the reason the speakers are rated at 6 ohms instead of 8 ohms (8 is pretty much the standard for most indoor speakers ) The lower ohms means lower resistance. This means the speakers will "pull" more power from your amp to compensate for the longer cable runs. Very smart on Yamaha's part. Shows they know what they're doing.
For the most part, you just really need to be realistic about what you're expecting to get from a $60 pair of 3 pound bookshelf sized speakers. Use common sense. These are not built to rattle your walls. These are not PA speakers that are going to cover 2 acres of ground with wall to wall "live concert" level sound. They're for sitting on your deck with a few friends and listening to conversational level music. If someone wants more pounding bass for outside, I'm pretty sure someone makes an outdoor subwoofer. I've actually got 1 acre of property behind me and I can hear these quite well at the back end of my propoerty if I crank them up.
These Yamaha's don't disappoint.
Pro's:
- Speaker teather that connects the speaker to the mount while you deal with wiring and final mount. Wiring is easier and you can't drop your brand new speakers when installing.
- Build quality robust plastic and brass mounts. Appears will do well outdoors. Mine are under eaves so I expect long life.
- Sound quality is good, mind you these are outdoors so my expectations were low, but the sound is good thus far
- Bookshelf or wall mounts capable.
- Good value for the money.
Con's:
- wall mount allows for adjustment up/down or left/right depending on which way you mount the bracket. I would have been nice to have both. I had to choose which would be most useful though I could have used both. This is typical, so it is a con shared by most speakers
The sound is far richer that the previous speakers I had outside. Installation is straight forward and they even have a safety steel wire, just in case comes off -- unlikely, but better safe than sorry.
I really enjoy them
