What customers say
Customers consistently celebrate the exceptional sound quality of these outdoor speakers, noting the clarity and surprisingly robust bass that defines the signature Klipsch dynamic audio experience.

Know before you buy
Yes, the AWR-650-SM is specifically weatherized to withstand the elements. Its durable, UV-resistant enclosure is designed to remain outdoors throughout the seasons.
Yes, this is a passive speaker, meaning it does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or amplifier to power the unit.
The dual voice coil woofer allows you to connect both left and right stereo channels to a single speaker. This is particularly useful if you have a limited space where placing two separate speakers isn't practical.
The enclosure is designed to mimic the texture and appearance of natural stone. While it is clearly a synthetic material, it is intended to blend discreetly into landscaping, patios, or garden beds.
The speaker features a 45-degree side-firing port, so you should ensure the area around the port remains clear of obstructions like dense mulch or heavy vegetation. Placing it on a solid, level surface will provide the most stable acoustic performance.
The 200-watt rating represents the maximum power handling for the speaker unit as a whole. You should ensure your amplifier is capable of delivering clean power within this range to avoid distortion or potential damage.
