Yamaha's leadership in one bar surround sound systems is further solidified with the introduction of AIR SURROUND XTREME, made possible by applying our unique 24 kHz HRTF (head related transfer function) surround technology.
It allows you to listen to clear dialogue and other sounds from the front, specific sounds from the other channels to the sides and rear, and smooth sound movement around you.
You won‘t believe the sound is coming from a one bar system!

It can also share the music from external devices such as a TV or Blu-ray player connected to the YAS-306. Audio content from Bluetooth-connected smartphones or tablets can also be streamed to MusicCast devices in multiple rooms.
With a rounded form that will help to beautify your interior, the YAS-306 can be placed on a shelf or hung on a wall, whichever style suits your room.
The YAS-306 body has a high-grade covering made of a materials that doesn’t show dust so much.
This is the same material and color used for the WX-010, so the two units go well together.
The YAS-306 unit includes two built-in subwoofer units for strong bass output, plus a unique bass reflex port for further boost. It also has two middle size woofer units and tweeter units that deliver well-balanced midrange sound and clear high tone. Whether used horizontally or vertically, or mounted on a wall, you’re assured of getting massive bass output for a powerfully dynamic surround sound experience.
* The YAS-306 detects when it is wall mounted and automatically provides high frequency sound from the woofer unit.
The YAS-306 features a high quality speaker unit designed especially for it.
The tweeter, woofer and subwoofer units are all well balanced and optimised to produce both massive bass with excellent response and clear, highly listenable treble.
Simply tap the beautifully designed screen and take control of all the audio equipment and all the music in your home.
You can hear all the music sources from your smartphone via wireless Bluetooth® or AirPlay® connection.
You can play music from music apps, radio apps, or YouTube™-type video hosting services.
The YAS-306 is equipped with the latest Bluetooth technology, making wireless operation more convenient than ever. You can stream music from the YAS-306 to Bluetooth headphones for private listening or to Bluetooth speakers.

*You can select Surround Programmes by using MusicCast Controller App.
The Compressed Music Enhancer restores frequency response lost during digital compression, so your music sounds the way it should. It is optimised for Bluetooth® audio transmission for vivid, lively sound quality during wireless playback. The function engages automatically when a compressed source is played.
Clear Voice raises the level of dialogue and narrations while maintaining overall sound quality. Movies and TV shows, sports commentary and news broadcasts are more clearly audible.
With an advanced energy saving design, this product achieves a low power consumption of not more than two watts when in Network Standby mode.
The all-new Twisted Flare Port takes advantage of extensive subwoofer development experience. The flared, gently twisting shape diffuses the vortex of air generated around the edge of the port, creating a smooth flow of air. This reduces extraneous noise not present in the original input signal and provides clear, accurate low frequency reproduction. From special effect sounds in movies to the atmosphere of a live venue, you hear bass that is clear, tight and realistic.
The built-in power amplifier delivers stable power output of 250 W with high efficiency while minimizing power consumption and heat production. It does not require an output filter coil, resulting in extremely low noise and distortion. High speed transient response is also excellent. The dual feedback circuit reduces distortion by applying feedback twice, resulting in higher sound clarity.
Developed by Yamaha, the Advanced YST II (Yamaha Active Servo Technology II) combines negative-impedance and constant-current principles to drive the speaker cone with even tighter control than the previous version. Using Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, this system dynamically optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain excellent linearity. This means more stable and accurate low range response, not to mention higher sound quality.
A 25 cm (10”) large woofer unit is used in a front-firing configuration. The voice coil of the driver unit employs square wire with a wide surface area that can be wound more densely to obtain higher magnetic flux density. It delivers high drive force, permitting tight and deep bass reproduction.
In addition to the beautifully round shape of the front surface, panels on both sides to create an accent, and a neat appearance, this subwoofer lets you imagine the strength of sound and matches a wide range of speaker systems. Numerous color variations are provided, so you can select one matched to your interior.
The power and volume buttons, which are used most often, are laid out on the front surface of the unit for ease of access. It is inclined at an angle of 45°, making it easy to use even when placed on the floor. An LED indicator is above the power button, so even in a dimly lit room it's easy to tell if it's on or off.
The system control terminal can be linked to the amplifier power to automatically turn the power on and off. There is also an Auto Standby Function: If no signal is input from the amplifier for a fixed period, it automatically switches to the standby state, and when a signal from the amplifier is detected, power turns on automatically. This limits the wasteful consumption of electricity.
• Low standby power consumption of 0.3W
• Auto Standby switch / Sensitivity selector (high, low and off)
• Phase control (normal or reverse)
• B.A.S.S. switch
