Yamaha Releases YSP 1100 SoundBar Speaker

Yamaha has released new versions of the Digital Sound Projector range: the YSP-900 and YSP-1100, offering 5.1 channel Surround Sound from a single unobtrusive enclosure. 

The YSP-900 and YSP-1100 have been designed to complement 32” and 42” TV’s, plasma or LCD and to deliver three-dimensional audio tailored to the user’s individual room acoustics without the customary ‘fairy ring’ of amps, cables and speakers. This is achieved by an on-board digital amplifier driving multiple ‘sound beams’ (21 in the 900 and 40 in the 1100), which are automatically calibrated during the automated setup procedure. This measures room environment and will focus the multichannel audio and create true 5.1 Surround Sound.

Both new models feature multi-language onscreen displays and a large range of listening positions thanks to a wide soundstage. Also available are two volume modes; ‘Night Listening Enhancer’, which ensures that optimum clarity is maintained when listening at low level, and ‘TV Equal Volume’, to suppress sudden audio peaks and obtrusive TV advertising. The YSP-1100 has an extensive range of audio and video inputs and outputs, allowing it to function as the hub of any home entertainment system. Both models feature Yamaha’s CINEMA DSP technology, capable of creating realistic sound effects in any room. Featuring easy installation and setup, and 3-D sonic performance from a single source, Yamaha’s YSP range is set to raise the surround sound standards.

Available in silver or black finishes with optional wall mount bracket, the YSP-900 and YSP-1100 cost £599 and £899 respectively.
