Outdoor speaker Yamaha NS-AW294 Black

Yamaha NS-AW294 two-way outdoor speakers with water and UV resistance

The NS-AW294 are outdoor speakers supplied as a pair, designed to bring sound to terraces, gardens, poolside areas or semi-covered spaces. In terms of design, this is a two-way bass-reflex system that combines the refined character of Yamaha home speakers with a weather-resistant IPx3-rated cabinet that withstands dripping water, humidity and ultraviolet radiation. Compact dimensions of 7-1/2" x 12-1/8" x 8-1/2" and a weight of 2 kg per unit allow installation on most types of walls and ceilings.

The midrange and low frequencies are handled by a 6-1/2" water-resistant cone woofer, while the highs are reproduced by a 1" balanced dome with surface treatment and fluid cooling, which improves heat dissipation from the voice coil under prolonged load. The system works with an impedance of 8 ohms, a sensitivity of 87 dB/2.83 V/1 m and handles a rated power of 50 W, 100 W peak, matching common AV receivers as well as multi-zone amplifiers. The frequency response is quoted in the 80 Hz – 20 kHz band.

Connection is provided by spring push terminals supporting cable up to 8 mm² (AWG 8) in cross-section, and installation by a swivelling U-bracket with an 81° tilt range in 13.5° steps. The ability to aim the driver axis precisely at the listening position contributes to midrange intelligibility and a more stable perception of the sound source in open spaces, where wall reflections are absent. Bass-reflex tuning also extends the usable bass response without the need for a large-volume cabinet.
