Yamaha MusicCast WX021 (White)
Voice Activated Ready Smart Speaker
£199
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.

Great sound, simple to set up
I bought this speaker to add to my existing system. Got great advice in store and whilst it was out of stock it was delivered the next day.

Great sound, shame about the temporary BBC hitch
Great but now waiting for the BBC update. Yamaha have announced that this is one of the devices that WILL be upgraded to the new DASH/HLS requirement of the BBC streaming services, but until 'Summer 2023' (their words) this will not natively play BBC net radio without being tied to your phone, except World Service.

Great speaker
I had already purchased one speaker and purchased another one from Richer Sounds
The improvement in the whole room sound from the two small speakers has really impressed me

It's a mono device, but fine for small rooms!
Gives Sonos a run for its money at a huge saving. Sounds great for a mono device, ideal for the smaller room or occasional use. Yamaha MusicCast is excellent and offers a huge range of device types to choose from, though sadly some discontinued. The only bugbear is waiting for an update for BBC net streaming...

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.

Amazing speaker - great sound!
I bought this as an add on to the yamaha speakers we have in the livingroom. We can now listen to the music in the kitchen whilst still using the amp through the Yamaha App which is very user friendly. The sound is so clear, its amazing!
