AM-1

The B&W AM1 Architectural Monitor brings high-quality sound outside with their weatherproof design. These loudspeakers utilize a rear-mounted auxiliary bass radiator (ABR) to dramatically enhance their low-frequency capabilities. In addition to providing fuller sound quality, the ABR design allows the AM-1 to remain fully sealed to protect them from the elements. A 5″ glass-fibre driver makes the most of this sophisticated architecture, bringing the sound quality you expect from Bowers & Wilkins into a discrete package.

The AM-1 employs a 1″ aluminum-dome tweeter to create precise highs. By placing this tweeter below the larger driver, B&W ensures that the upper register of your music comes through clean, even when mounted high against a wall. The inventive one-plug mounting system simplifies installation, allowing you to place the B&W AM1 wherever you need them. Their cast aluminum bracket secures the speaker vertically or horizontally while granting the speaker 220 degrees of rotation. And with a cabinet specially designed to protect the speaker from the elements, the AM-1 will continue to bring incredible sound to any environment you find for them.

Performance that endures

AM-1 is entirely sealed, in order to keep the elements at bay. It’s tough and hard-wearing too, and its clever one-piece mounting system with 220-degree rotation means it’s ready to perform wherever you want it to, come rain or shine.

Easy to install, great to listen to

A one-plug, simple-to-install mounting system means AM-1 is happy vertically or horizontally. Plus, smart engineering means AM-1 sounds great whichever way you choose to mount it.

Specified and built without compromise

With B&W’s trademark Nautilus tube-loaded 25mm aluminum dome tweeter and 130mm glassfiber mid/bass driver supplemented by an auxiliary bass radiator for solid, powerful bass response, AM-1 has sound and scale way beyond its compact dimensions.
