BOWERS & WILKINS AM-1

A two-way loudspeaker designed for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its fully sealed construction protects the components against dust and moisture, while the corrosion- and UV-resistant finish allows it to operate in a variety of environmental conditions. Its compact dimensions and integrated mounting system make it suitable for different installation environments while maintaining a discreet footprint.

The driver configuration consists of a 25 mm aluminium dome tweeter featuring Nautilus technology, paired with a 130 mm glass-fibre cone mid/bass driver. The Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter helps control rear sound waves, while the Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR), positioned at the rear of the cabinet, supports low-frequency reproduction, providing an extended response and sound performance suited to the loudspeaker's compact dimensions.

The aluminium mounting bracket is integrated into the cabinet and allows installation on either a wall or ceiling, in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The single-piece mounting system provides up to 220° of rotation, making it easier to position the loudspeaker and direct sound towards the listening area. The mounting design simplifies installation and ensures consistent sound reproduction regardless of the chosen orientation.

With a recommended amplifier power ranging from 20 to 100 W, the AM-1 is suitable for a variety of audio configurations, from residential installations to outdoor environments. Its availability in matte black and matte white finishes also allows it to blend discreetly into different architectural settings.
