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.
High-quality Parts
Yamaha AV receivers feature fully discrete power amplifiers to minimise distortion and adopt independent pure power supplies for the analogue and digital circuitry. They also feature ultra-high performance with 384 kHz / 32-bit DACs, also with Independent power supplies, for reproducing absolutely all the audio in High Resolution sound sources without noise. A new high sound quality IC is employed for volume control and large heat sinks suppress vibration. Down to every detail, these AV receivers are designed with full emphasis on the highest possible sound quality.
Wireless Surround Speakers

The NS-500 series carries on the design tradition of Yamaha's renowned Soavo HiFi speakers: transparency and depth of sound,deep and tight bass, and a sense of rich detail and warmth.
A world of sound that deeply satisfies, and is sure to fire your imagination.
There's an organic feeling to the design of the NS-500, almost a sense of creation by nature.
The rounded-corner design does away with sharp edges.
Like a violin, the construction focuses totally on sound quality.
Like a piano, the front baffle of the assembled unit is coated with in a lustrous glossy finish.
And a choice of three colors assures a match with any decor.
The NS-500: an expression of pure Yamaha craftsmanship.
The voice coil for the tweeter Is wound directly over the aluminum-magnesium alloy diaphragm, requiring precision manufacturing technology.
This design delivers greater amounts of sound Information for smooth, extended reproduction. It also eliminates the effects of mechanical strain and adhesive bonding between separate components, preserving every delicate nuance of the sound.
The mid-range and woofer units employ Yamaha's own A-PMD (Advanced PolymerInjected Mica Diaphragm) cones, a technology
that combines the light weight of paper cones with the strength of resin cones.
Surrounds are made of selected solid rubber.
Together with the largediameter magnet structure, this assures tight,. deep, detailed sound for a superb listening experience.
The entire unit Is non-shielded, achieving Impressively clear Initial sound without distortion from magnetic shielding circuits.
To maximize driving power, a square voice coil for the woofer driver Increases surface area by 27% and space factor by approximately 30% compared to conventional designs.
The 13cm mid-range and 16cm woofer drivers employ the same type of solid aluminum diecast basket used in the flagshipSoavo-1 drivers.
This extremely rigid design enables the NS-F500 to deliver sonic information and sound quality above Its class.
A speaker cabinet needs to convey the full weight of its sound output without any unwanted resonances.
Because all corner areas need to be particularly strong, Yamaha employs its traditional three-way mitered joint construction, based on the use of a wedge along the joint.
Slanted partitions and a vertical ladder provide additional bracing, for outstanding overall rigidity.
The design even incorporates interior wooden blocks inspired by the bass bar used in violin construction.
The result is pure, clear sound, free of any extraneous resonance.
A speaker's physical relationship to the floor below it is one key to its sound.
For this reason the NS-F500 utilizes newly designed spikes to assure a stable, optimal footing-another example of the lengths to which Yamaha goes in the pursuit of sound.
Using precision manufacturing technology, the voice coil for the tweeter Is wrapped directly over the aluminum-magnesium alloydiaphragm.
This design delivers increased amounts of sound information for smooth reproduction over an exceptionally wide sound spectrum.
The woofer utilizes Yamaha's unique A-PMD together with a solid rubber surround.
In conjunction with the large-diameter magnet structure, this assures rich, satisfying reproduction of mid-range and bass.
The entire unit is non-shielded, achieving impressively clear initial sound without distortion from magnetic shielding circuits.
Thanks to Yamaha's traditional expertise in cabinetry, starting with its three-way mitered joint construction, sound quality is natural and consistent.
The higher you turn the volume, the more impressed you'll be with the rich, clear sound from these compact units.
