From streaming music to wireless rear AV speakers, the Yamaha MusicCast 20 speaker matches quality with flexibility.
Multi-room, MusicCast
The Yamaha MusicCast 20 is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you can control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or tablet. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app also lets you operate the speaker and change settings quickly and easily.
Voice control via Alexa
With Amazon’s hugely popular Alexa voice control integration, all you have to do is ask. “Alexa, ask MusicCast to play Favourite 1 in the kitchen”, is all you need to say to get the music started.
Music streaming services. Sorted
Getting the MusicCast 20 (also known as Yamaha WX-021) to play your music is easy. Compatible with Spotify Premium, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Pandora and Napster, all of the major providers are covered. Simply sync with your smartphone or tablet and you’re good to go.
Advanced networking including Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth
Built-in Apple AirPlay means that you can stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly. If you use another brand of smartphone or tablet then you've also got Bluetooth, for easy music streaming from your portable device.
Find your favourites, with three presets
Finding your favourite Internet radio stations can be a chore, which is why the MusicCast 20 has three, soft touch, presets at the top of the device. Store and recall at the touch of a button.
Pair up for stereo sound
Use the MusicCast app and you can pair up two MusicCast 20 speakers for stereo sound. Perfect in larger rooms or wherever you prefer a more immersive, stereo sound, this function doubles the ability of this already impressive speaker.
Use as wireless rear speakers
Another great feature with these flexible speakers is the ability to use them as wireless rear speakers. Simply pair with a compatible Yamaha MusicCast AV receiver, connect to the mains supply and cut out the speaker cable to the rear speakers – perfect for when you’ve hard floor coverings that accept cable underneath.
Powerful sound
A two-way speaker system gives a crisp, clear sound, throughout the frequency range. With twin ABRs (Auxiliary Bass Radiator) either side of the unit the bass is also powerful enough to easily fill most rooms.
Compact design that can be wall mounted
With its compact dimensions and unobtrusive design, the MusicCast 20 goes just where you want it. Use it on a desk, bedside table or kitchen worktop - the MusicCast 20 fits in almost anywhere. For even greater versatility, the speaker can be wall mounted via a simple keyhole slot fitting.

Does the job
We finally got rid of the old mini-hifi in the kitchen and this hifi speaker ticked all boxes as a replacement. It works nicely as an internet radio on its own and it can stream music from our Yamaha CRX-N470D. So, yes, very happy with the purchase.

Easy
Straightforward purchase. Could see price was the same as elsewhere and reviews online supported decision. Delivery was really good - kept updated on tracking. No complaints

Easy set up, great sound
I bought this as to expand my MusicCast coverage across more rooms, having bought a Yamaha RN602 receiver the month before.
It was really easy to set-up - by just holding my phone close it hooked itself up to the WiFi network. The sound quality is excellent for the room we have it in (a conservatory 4m x 4m). Being AirPlay2 compatible is a great feature, as we can stream directly across several units simultaneously direct from an iPhone, and MusicCast means I can put a vinyl album on in one room and link the audio across. Having its own internet connection means I can set it to play radio itself, without needing to stream to it. We have suffered no drop-outs, which I did get with a traditional speaker when streaming from phone.

Works great, good addition to set up
Bought the WX021 speaker as an addition to my Yamaha system, purpose is for a satellite speaker but be able to pair when required. Also wanted to keep to one system, one app etc.
Must say it works well, linking is good and having access to all my digital collection plus being able to play from vinyl wherever the speaker is I think is great. So functionally it works well.
Look wise, it’s simple, minimal so is not intrusive. Just sits on a shelf.
For sound, it’s good. It’s a single speaker so obviously not stereo but for listening to the radio in the background it ticks the box. Bass is sufficient for what I need, mid range is clear.
Best of all, no drops. Works consistently with Wi-Fi, Airplay all day.
And nice addition over my HiFi is the addition of Amazon Music.
It isn’t cheap, but in this case you do get what you pay for.

Do not under estimate.
I have a Yamaha amp with a Dali 8 speaker system in my lounge. I was delaying getting Yamaha musicast speakers as i was wary if the quality was going to match. Just got one and have linked it using party mode. Amazing quality. The single speaker compliments my system in the lounge so well. I read some reviews mentioning lack of bass. I admit i have had to use the equaliser to adjust to the way i like to listen but no issues with bass. Richer sounds thank you for great service. Arrived 3 days early.....
