Become one with the sound

This exclusive sound field creation technology developed by Yamaha combines sound footprint measurements and digital signal processing. Yamaha has collected the sound footprints of renowned concert halls and clubs from around the world, leveraging its expertise in concert hall design, sound systems, and mixing. By digitizing this wealth of information and incorporating it into dedicated microprocessors, Yamaha is able to reproduce the atmosphere of these iconic venues in the intimacy of your home. Dive into the incredibly realistic ambiance of your movies, immerse yourself in a breathtaking sound universe, as if you were in a real concert hall or movie theater.

Guaranteed audio quality

The “A.R.T. Wedge” (Anti Resonance Technology) consists of a fifth foot placed in the center of the device. It absorbs the vibrations emitted by the transformer, power transistors, and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that can be caused by the sound from the speakers, producing dynamic and precise sound with detailed reproduction.

Optimal performance

Yamaha’s Home Cinema amplifiers feature discrete power amplifiers that minimize distortion and independent power supplies for analog and digital circuits. They deliver unparalleled performance thanks to 384 kHz / 32-bit DACs and independent power supplies, allowing them to reproduce absolutely all sound ranges from high-resolution audio sources without interference. A new high-quality integrated circuit is used for volume control, and large heat sinks are responsible for suppressing vibratory effects. Down to the smallest details, these Home Cinema amplifiers are designed to achieve the highest possible sound quality.
