The YSP-1 employs multiple small speakers, each with it's own digital
amplifier, and our unique projection technology to control the orientation
of the sound. By focusing the sound into ”beams” and controlling the
speaker delay times, the listener perceives the sounds to be coming
from additional speakers placed throughout the room, when in fact there
is only the Yamaha Digital Sound Projector.
It’s not just about how it sounds... it’s also about
style, and how well the YSP-1 complements a wall or
stand-mounted plasma , LCD or rear-projection video
display. With slim, contemporary design, the YSP-1
becomes an elegant statement of the latest in home
theater technology. And, since it can be used as an
on-wall system, you can take the YSP-1 with you if
you move!
Five-Beam: All five channels--L , R, C, Ls and Rs--are given
separate orientations. Sound is beamed off the walls to create
the effect of a surround system with rear speakers.
Stereo: The
left and right woofers, with the multiple beam speakers acting as
tweeters, reproduce the effect of conventional stereo speakers.
Stereo + Three-Beam: The L and R channels are produced
using stereo mode while C, Ls and Rs are produced using
beaming. This mode is effective when the YSP-1 placed in a
corner.
Three-Beam: Three beams are produced: L+ Ls, R+
Rs and C. A surround sound effect is created by reflecting
the sound off the walls.
Multi-Channel Surround Sound... Plus!
