CINEMA DSP 3D
This unique Yamaha proprietary sound field creation technology, was created by combining measured sound field data with digital signal processing. Yamaha collected sound field data from famous concert halls and music clubs around the world, utilising its wealth of experience in the fields of concert hall design, public address and mixing. By digitising that vast trove of information and incorporating it into dedicated LSI devices, it effectively reproduces the spaces of those concert halls on home equipment. Immerse yourself in the astounding realism of your movies, and enter a world of profound theatre sound.
Anti Resonance Technology Wedge
The Anti Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge is a fifth foot in the centre of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers — providing dynamic sound and focused, accurate reproduction.
YPAO-R.S.C. Sound Optimisation with Multi-Point Measurement
YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) analyses room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound at any of eight listening positions. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalisation, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. It’s like having a professional installer calibrate your system, creating an ideal listening space with perfectly balanced sound — even over a wide area in larger rooms.

As a new cornerstone tallboy speaker equipped with a newly designed unit, this is a speaker system developed with music as its focus. It employs an all-new high resolution compatible dome tweeter that puts it in a different league from ordinary speakers that claim high resolution compatibility: 40 kHz. Equipped with dual woofers, its massive, expansive bass tones are more than a match for its high frequencies. It brings out all the subtle differences among a wide variety of music formats, from high resolution source sources to streaming to CDs.
With the characteristics and sound quality you would expect from a next generation unit, it features a new structure that places an aluminium dome inside the voice coil. The aluminium’s Black Anodised processing suppresses the aluminium-specific character of its sound, producing a natural, glistening sound quality. The diffuser features a new shape, and the voice coil is comprised of CCAW (copper-coated aluminium wire) reengineered in material and linearity. While maintaining the amount of information and energy in the audible band, it achieves 45 kHz (–10 dB) reproduction with extended high frequencies. Compared to other speakers you will hear a whole new dimension of high resolution high frequency sound.
The unique waveguide horn and tweeter utilise the same waveguide technology used for directivity control in studio monitor speakers to control the incidence of indirect sound. The vertical and horizontal directivity control provides an energy balance unaffected by the room environment.
The NS-F330’s 2-way, 3-speaker configuration employs the lightweight, high rigidity PMD cone and woofer used with proven success in Europe and Japan in the Modern Cherry Series, achieving ideal internal loss and high elasticity characteristics. The new design put both the voice coil and spider under the knife, achieving powerful but mellow deep tones. As a double woofer tallboy speaker, its low end is truly massive and expansive.
The cabinet features a rounded shape that curves smoothly to both sides. By reducing the number of parallel surfaces it minimises standing waves and unwanted resonance. The front baffle has a double structure with a mirror-like piano finish. With reinforced strength, it produces more natural, extremely transparent high tones.
As a next-generation unit, the NS-PC350 and NS-PB350 employ a new structure that puts an aluminium dome inside the voice coil. The aluminium’s Black Anodised processing suppresses the aluminium-specific character of the sound, providing expansive and accurate reproduction of the texture and nuance of the high frequencies. With a new diffuser shape and a new voice coil using CCAW (copper-coated aluminium wire) it achieves 45 kHz (–10 dB) reproduction with extended high frequency range while maintaining the amount of information and energy in the audible band.
Based on the idea of controlling spatial representation from the speaker, the waveguide horn directs the sound to reflect from walls and other surfaces. Thanks to the directivity of a left-right directional range of 135 degrees and a vertical range of 120 degrees optimised for home theatre use, it precisely recreates the sound field while minimising the impact of the room.
Incorporating 30% high quality white mica, the 13 cm (5”) woofer utilises a lightweight, high rigidity PMD (Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) cone that achieves ideal internal loss and high elasticity characteristics. The new design put both the voice coil and spider under the knife, achieving massive, expansive low tones.
The NS-PC350 and NS-PB350 have keyholes on the back so they can be quickly and securely wall mounted.
