Yamaha Digital Sound Projectors achieve actual (not virtual) surround sound by producing beams of sound that reflect off the walls & controlling their directions. Beam position (listening position) can be adjusted over a wide area by using the remote control or the dedicated app, allowing many people to enjoy the powerful, expansive sound. This single body soundbar has eight array speakers in the centre & subwoofers in the stands at both ends. With a built-in 76 W digital amplifier to power the speakers, it produces sound with exceptional power & presence. The stands are equipped with dual built-in subwoofers that have large 8.5 cm drive units. Combined with the high-stiffness bass reflex duct & wide, large volume cabinet, the unit will deliver clear, rich & deep bass for movie sound effects & music. The independent right & left channel configuration provides superior sound imaging. The YSP-1400 is compatible with popular surround sound formats, such as Dolby Digital & DTS Digital Surround, so you get the full effect of multichannel movie sound. Yamaha's ultra-sophisticated CINEMA DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in any room. You can select four different programmes, including Movie, Music, Sports & Game. The Subwoofer Out jack lets you connect an additional subwoofer to enjoy even more powerful bass sound. Enjoy the sound of music or movies from your smartphone or tablet wirelessly.
