The Yamaha NS-AW350 is a flexible speaker system that can be used both indoors and outdoors for high performance audio. The system is water resistant while still providing high fidelity sound. Mounting options designed into the system include both horizontal and vertical mounting using the included brackets, free standing, or placing it horizontally for use as a center channel speaker in a home theater system. Since it’s introduction in 2004, consumer acceptance has been very high, and the design has so far doubled the expected lifespan of this product at retailer shelves.
