Installation

1. Choose a suitable location for the speakers. They should be mounted under the eaves of your house or on a wall, away from direct sunlight and rain.
2. Use the included wall mount brackets to mark the screw holes on the wall. Ensure that the brackets are level and securely fastened to the wall.
3. Run the speaker wire from your AV receiver to the location of the speakers. Be sure to use outdoor-rated speaker wire and conceal the wire for a clean installation.
4. Attach the speakers to the wall mount brackets using the provided screws. Adjust the angle of the speakers to direct the sound towards your desired listening area.
5. Connect the speaker wire to the 5-way binding-post speaker terminals on the back of the speakers. Ensure that the positive and negative terminals are connected correctly.
6. Place the protective covers over the grill and cabinet to protect the speakers from the elements.

Operation

Once the speakers are installed and connected to your AV receiver, you can control the volume, select stations, and choose playlists using your receiver's remote control or a compatible app on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

Troubleshooting Tips

1. If you experience distortion or poor sound quality, check the speaker wire connections and ensure that the positive and negative terminals are connected correctly.
2. If the speakers are exposed to direct sunlight and the sound becomes distorted, remove the protective grill and allow the diaphragm to cool down before resuming playback.
3. If the mounting brackets do not provide enough flexibility for aiming the speakers, consider purchasing aftermarket articulating wall brackets for better adjustability.

Frequently Asked Questions

While the Yamaha NS-AW570WH speakers have a maximum input capability of 120W, they may require more power from your AV receiver to achieve optimal performance, especially at higher volumes. If you find that your current receiver is not providing enough power, consider upgrading to a more powerful model.

FAQ:
Q1. Can these be mounted in a corner, under the eaves?
A1. No, the bracket is flat and requires a flat surface to be mounted on.

Q2. Are these speakers Bluetooth enabled? If not, what Yamaha model is at the lowest cost?
A2. No, they are not Bluetooth enabled. They would need to be self-powered and have the Bluetooth receiver inside. However, you can hook them up to a Bluetooth capable receiver.

Q3. Is that rainproof? Can I use it in an open area?
A3. While it is designed for outdoor use and can withstand some exposure to the elements, it is recommended to cover them during heavy rain or harsh weather conditions.

Q4. Can you mount this to a ceiling to point outward to the room?
A4. Yes, but you may have to modify the mount as ceilings can be soft.

Q5. Since your purchase of these Yamaha NS-AW570WH all-weather speakers, have you found anything better and do you still recommend these outdoor speakers?
A5. Yes, I still recommend them. They sound excellent and are listened to for over 8 hours each day. The speakers are mounted up high outside a business and perform better than expected. Since owning them, I haven't had any reason to look any further.

Customer Reviews:
- Patio Speakers: These speakers sound even better than I expected. Great highs and decent bass for outside. The brackets that came with them would not let me attach them where I wanted so I bought a pair of Definitive Pro mount 80 Articulating wall brackets, and not only was able to put the speakers where I wanted them but now I can point them where I want the music directed to.
- Expected more: With a 6 ½" woofer, I expected much more bass, and the duo tweeters sound tinny.
- Great speaker, not great mount: Speakers sound great, good bass and clear mids. My biggest complaint is the mounting hardware; it's pretty flimsy and doesn't allow for much flexibility in where you aim the speakers.
- Reasonable sound, but need a bit of power in your receiver: The sound is fairly accurate with good mid-range and lows for inexpensive speakers, but these do require a bit of power to drive.
- Decent speakers for the price: Decent speakers for the price. They fit in the brackets from the original pair of Yamaha speakers I had installed outside on the patio.
- Like the sound...not so much the mount!: Sound is excellent. Only wish the mounts supplied were able to tilt whether mounted vertically or horizontally.
- Yamaha NS-AW570 All-Weather Speaker: Very good sound - pleased with outdoor performance. One problem = one of the speakers distorts sound when in direct sun. When I removed the protective grill the diaphragm was bloated/pushed outward. It returns to its original shape and sound when cooled.
- WOW !!!: Excellent service!!! Lightning-fast shipping and perfect communication.
