Yamaha NS-AW194 High Performance Outdoor Speakers
Yamaha NS-AW194 High Performance Outdoor Speakers bring true-room sound to patios, decks, yards, and other outdoor living spaces. Built to endure the elements, these compact 4" woofer + 1" dome-tweeter speakers punch above their size with clear highs, tight mids, and reliable weatherproofing, so your outdoor soundtrack stays fresh rain or shine.
Why this design stands out outdoors
The NS-AW194 combines a 2-way bass-reflex system with a waterproof 4" woofer and a 1" fluid-cooled, coated balanced-dome tweeter. The result is accurate mid/low frequency response and crisp high-frequency detail that remains musical at practical outdoor listening levels. The weatherproof cabinets are drip, water, and UV resistant, and the powder-coated grille adds an extra layer of protection against the elements.
Flexible, tool-free installation
Included mounting brackets let you tailor the placement to fit any outdoor geometry. Install the speakers vertically or horizontally, then fine-tune the direction with an 81° movement range (right/left and up/down). The push-type speaker terminals make wiring quick and straightforward, so you can set up stereo, surround, or multi-room outdoor audio with ease.
Durable, reliable performance you can count on
With an 8-ohm impedance and a nominal 30 W input power (80 W maximum), the NS-AW194 is designed for dependable performance when paired with a compatible amplifier. The 85 dB sensitivity ensures efficient sound output from modest power, so you can enjoy clear, balanced audio at backyard listening levels without straining your gear.
