AM-1
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.
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.
Behind the scenes Our senior development engineer Dr John Dibb explains how AM-1 overcomes the acoustic limitations of traditional all-weather speakers. We know that different speakers can produce different results depending on the acoustics of the space they’re used within.
