Yamaha Outdoor Speakers Review

Yamaha is a world-renowned name as they play a part in a number of different markets. Not surprisingly, they also have a hand in the outdoor speakers market competing with a number of premium name brand speakers, such as the Polk Audio Atrium 6 and Klipsch KHO-7 outdoor speakers. While they tend to compete because of their name and reputation, in all honesty, their outdoor speakers aren’t exactly considered premium. However, they still offer a nice line of speakers at a decent price, making them a great option for those on the hunt for a great outdoor audio speaker.

Not everyone is an audiophile. In fact, the large majority of the population just wants a system that sounds good. They aren’t tuning into highs and lows and mids (what’s that?!). As long as they can jam out and enjoy their favorite tunes, that’s all they need in life. As far as speakers go anyways. That’s where Yamaha comes in. They actually have quite a few options, so we will just clue in on some of our top picks for Yamaha outdoor speakers.

Yamaha NS-AW150 2-Way Indoor / Outdoor Speakers

The Yamaha NS-AW150 Outdoor Speakers are the most popular of Yamaha’s Indoor Outdoor Speakers. With over 600 user reviews on Amazon, they still have a ranking of 4.6/5.0 stars which is pretty awesome. With 120-watts of maximum power, these are by no means going to rock your socks off. But for a price of around $70, they are pretty impressive. Delivering a frequency response of 80-40 HZ and 6 ohms nominal impedance, the bass performance is great for this compact speaker. While these speakers are weather resistant, keep in mind they are not weather proof and its recommended they be placed out of the way of direct falling water. Mounting brackets are included and consumers were pleased with the ease of installation. With a price that’s hard to beat and a name like Yamaha, you aren’t going to find a better budget speaker. Available in black or white. More on the Yamaha AW150’s =>
