Yamaha Announces New Home Theatre Reference Speaker Systems

14-Jan-02

Yamaha Electronics Corporation unveiled its newest flagship home theatre product, the HX series of reference home theatre speaker systems. The HX series speaker cabinets are crafted from the same Canadian maple hardwood that is used to make Yamaha's finest pianos. Home theatre fans will be absorbed by the crisp details, exceptional clarity and depth of sound production. A die-cast aluminum waveguide ensures the proper radiation for multichannel sound, to ensure that the movie is heard exactly the way that the studio engineer intended. The same die-cast aluminum is used for the drivers, while the speakers feature a long-fiber spruce material for the cones. The aluminum was found to make the detailed nuances of dialogue easier to hear, while providing the incisive attack needed for action scenes. The voice coil uses rectangular shaped wire for optimum efficiency and minimal signal loss. Heavy gauge, high-grade European internal wiring cable is used in the HX series, and crosstalk distortion that can result from signal interference between coils, cables and drivers is kept to an absolute minimum by using fully independent, direct crossover connections for low, medium and high range driver elements. To further ensure accuracy and natural sound quality, the Yamaha engineers used three-way, mitered joint construction and matching aluminum die-cast cabinet feet for strength and solidity.The results provide truly exceptional home theatre sound. Yamaha's formula for success lies within three critical elements: accuracy, speed and depth. Accuracy defined by faithful, accurate sound reproduction, speed as a result of sharp attack and superior transient response, and finally depth provided by high dynamic range capabilities.The HX speakers will be available in six models, including the NS-8HX ($799 each) and NS-6HX ($599 each) three-way bass reflex tower speaker systems, the NS-C7HX ($499 each) and NS-C5HX ($399 each) two-way bass reflex center speaker systems, and the NS-4HX ($399 each) and NS-2HX ($199 each) two-way bass reflex center bookshelf speaker systems.For more information, visit www.yamaha.com/yec.
