BBR ST3P: The Poolside Outdoor Streaming System

Presenting one of our favourite systems for backyard listening.

The Bowers & Wilkins AM-1 are brilliant sounding outdoor speakers that punch above their weight. While most outdoor speakers don’t impress with their bass performance due to the need for a sealed enclosure, B&W engineers designed a clever auxiliary bass radiator to give extra low-end impact while still maintaining clarity. 

These speakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally to walls, or even affixed to ground stakes. They’re fully weatherproof and ready for rain, snow, wind, and dust all year round. Best of all, they come in your choice of white or black to blend in with your surroundings.

While your speakers are wired, it’s all controlled wirelessly thanks to the Sonos Amp. It’s all so simple: listen to music, podcasts, radio, and audiobooks from over 100 streaming services, Apple AirPlay 2, or enjoy files stored on your computer. Choose music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet, selecting your favourite songs without having to go inside — just make sure your Wi-Fi coverage outside is good (we can help with that too). 

At Bay Bloor Radio, not only can we help you choose the right outdoor speakers, but we’ll also show you where to place them to get the best possible performance within your space. In the same way that you might hire a landscape designer, outdoor lighting expert, or swimming pool builder, you can use the professional services of Bay Bloor Radio’s Custom Design and Installation team.
