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.
