Yamaha introduced its YSP-2700 MusicCast Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer that delivers true 7.1-channel surround sound with remarkable presence, detail and clarity, plus the freedom afforded by wireless multiroom audio streaming. The high-performing sound bar draws its true 7.1-channel capability from Yamaha Digital Sound Projector technology, featuring 16 drivers, each powered by a 2-Watt amplifier, to produce discrete sound beams that reflect off the walls of a room to envelope the listener from multiple directions. Each driver is engineered with unique Yamaha craftsmanship to present dynamic presence, clarity and detail for a rich, lifelike aural experience. The cube-style, floor-positioned wireless subwoofer provides heart-thumping bottom and rumble.
The YSP-2700 also incorporates Yamaha MusicCast, a new way to bring music to every room in a home wirelessly with control from a simple Android or iOS app. It enables YSP-2700 users to effortlessly stream music from mobile devices and computers, as well as from services such as Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody and SiriusXM Internet Radio, directly to the sound bar. The YSP-2700 can be easily linked to other MusicCast speakers, AV receivers and Hi-Fi gear in other rooms, to share music sources throughout the home.
Using MusicCast, the YSP-2700 can redistribute content from multiple input sources or allow listening to the TV sound throughout the home. This unusual benefit makes it possible, for example, to transmit sound from a favorite cable TV music channel to MusicCast speakers elsewhere in the house, or listen to a sports event in multiple rooms at the same time. Moreover, the YSP-2700 is equipped with three HDMI inputs and one output ensuring the sound bar can receive a true 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel audio source that won’t be down-converted by a TV to 2-channel stereo from the TV’s optical output. These HDMI input options also enable home theater enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite movies in either Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround or Dolby True HD and supports DTS surround sound technologies, including the high-quality DTS-Master Audio format.
The YSP-2700 features versatile connectivity via WiFi, AirPlay and Spotify Connect, as well as Bluetooth streaming either into or out of the sound bar, making it easy to listen in privacy with Bluetooth headphones, or enjoy the audio from the big game out on the deck with a Bluetooth-connected speaker. For a realistic home theater experience, the YSP-2700 supports pass-through of 4K Ultra HD resolution video at up to 60p.
To ensure it delivers the best sound possible for each user’s home, the included Yamaha IntelliBeam auto-calibration system makes setting up the YSP-2700 easy. A supplied microphone helps to measure room acoustics so the IntelliBeam circuitry can automatically set the best beam angles while optimizing the level and frequency response of each beam.
The ultra-slim sound bar enclosure is constructed with a solid aluminum body for best sound performance and has an aluminum top panel with a subtle hairline-line finish that presents an elegant, refined look. The YSP-2700 ($1,199.95 MSRP) will be available in September.
