Introduction In 1986, Yamaha unveiled a revolutionary new product to the UK. It was the first of its kind and used a new concept in sound reproduction: Digital Sound Field processing. That product was the DSP-1 and it's where the Yamaha Electronics UK story begins.
Yamaha hi-fi products had been available in the UK via separate distributors since 1975. Yamaha Electronics UK (YEUK) was set-up eleven years later so that the company could focus on the DSP-1 and capitalise on new opportunities for home entertainment such as multi-channel music and home cinema.
Using Sound Field processing - later to become known as Digital Signal Processing (DSP) - the DSP-1 was the only product of its kind to actually reproduce the acoustics of real live concert venues. Music isn't just about the sounds of instruments and voices. It's also about the space and physical characteristics of live music venues. The true ambience of the venue therefore enhances the spirit and realism of listening to music at home.

YST-FSW100 Subwoofer 90W
The YST-FSW100 - Advanced YST II Subwoofer
Perfectly matched for the plethora of thin home cinema components such as Plasmas, Flat Screen TV’s and Yamaha’s very own Digital Sound Projectors, the YST-FSW100 is a great solution for people wanting energetic bass reproduction in a slim box.
Some of the YST-FSW100’s great features;
The YST-FSW100 has a slim, elegant design that will perfectly match thin home cinema components and plasma monitors or flat-screen TVs.
Yamaha’s newly developed 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 previously. Using Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, this system dynamically optimises effective speaker impedance to maintain excellent linearity. This means more stable and accurate low range response, not to mention higher sound pressure levels, for more natural and energetic bass reproduction.
The subwoofer also employs a new design feature called the Half Pipe Port, which further smoothes bass response and minimizes extraneous noise. The powerful, multi-range driver is exceptionally large (16cm; 6.5”) for this class of subwoofer. Magnetic shielding means there is no distortion-causing interference when the speaker is placed near a TV or other monitor.

YST-SW325 Subwoofer 170W
The YST-SW325 - Advanced YST II and QD-Bass Subwoofer
Advanced YST II & QD-Bass Subwoofer.
Yamaha’s Advanced YST II and QD-Bass Technologies Give This Top Class Subwoofer an Outstanding Combination of Power, Depth and Clarity. Designed to Match the 325 A-PMD Series Speakers.
The YST-SW325 has the following Main Features:
QD-Bass (Quatre Dispersion Bass) technology uses down-firing drivers with square, pyramid-shaped reflective plates to radiate the sound efficiently in four horizontal directions. The reflective plates (not used in competitors’ down-firing subwoofers) negate any effects caused by the floor surface and reduce resonance between sound waves reflected from the floor and the unit. Also, most other systems use circular cones, but by radiating in four directions to avoid the legs of the cabinet, QD-Bass reduces turbulence caused by reflection from the legs. Changing the height of the square pyramid varies the acoustic load, permitting relatively simple high-cut adjustment and improved bandpass properties. The QD-Bass system provides extraordinary power and smooth frequency response from an extremely compact unit. It also allows greater freedom of placement, since the sound radiates with equal effectiveness in all directions.
Yamaha's newly developed 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 previously. 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 pressure levels, for more natural and energetic bass reproduction.
The YST-SW325 delivers high power outputs at deep bass levels, with excellent stability and low power consumption, even with their compact cabinets. This is made possible by a highly efficient power amplifier. The power amplifier achieves superior conversion efficiency by supplying maximum power (minimizing power loss) from the power transistors according to the output level. It delivers stable power output 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.

Powerful Output and High Sound Quality
The NX-U10 uses Yamaha’s PowerStorage™ Circuit to output as much as 20W (10W x 2) total power from a USB connection. This is twenty times what other USB speakers deliver. It also has SR-Bass (Swing Radiator Bass™) technology built in for deep, rich bass that is remarkable from a speaker of this size. The USB connection also contributes to better sound quality, because the signal is transferred digitally. Music from laptops and even desktop computers, portable MP3 players and games will all sound clear, dynamic and satisfyingly loud. Great for listening to music while working or for giving presentations from a laptop.
PowerStorage™ Circuit Technology
USB provides 5V, which gives connected devices only 0.5W x 2 of power. Yamaha’s unique PowerStorage™ Circuit increases this by 20 times to 10W x 2. For the first time, a USB-powered speaker can deliver high output.
Quick Connection
All you need to do is connect the NX-U10 to a laptop with a USB cable. No power cord is necessary. The speaker draws on the laptop’s power so you can hear presentations, music, games, etc. stored on the computer. Just take the speaker along with your laptop and you never have to worry about finding an AC outlet.
Great Flexibility
The NX-U10 can be powered not only from a USB port, but also from an AC outlet (using the supplied adapter) or four AAA batteries. It also has a 3.5mm? stereo mini jack, allowing it to be used as a speaker for any device with a headphone jack: iPods and other MP3 players, MP3 mobile phones, game consoles, portable DVD players and more. This is a great way for customers to get much better sound from their favorite portable device.
Easy Portability
The NX-U10 is compact and weighs only 0.5kg (1.1 lbs) so you can carry it anywhere. It comes with a carrying bag and the USB cable also fits in the bag.
