A true technological breakthrough that delivers an elegant, compact and affordable one-box solution
Yamaha's Digital Sound Projectors named Products of the Year and Best Buy at 2005 What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision awards
The ‘Technology Product of the Year’ award celebrates exciting innovations that transform home entertainment and was awarded to Yamaha for affordable ‘one-box’ wireless surround sound ‘that works’ and creative application of high-end technology to meet real market demand.
Yamaha's multi award winning YSP800, new YSP1000 AND YSP1 ‘Digital Sound Projectors’, currently revolutionising the Home Cinema market have received further acclaim scooping the two most coveted awards of ‘Technology Product of the Year’ and ‘Best Buy’ at the prestigious 2005 ‘What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Awards’ held on 28th September at London’s Hilton Hotel, Park Lane.
The top two awards were among six scooped by Yamaha at the UK’s audiovisual equivalent of the ‘Grammys’, beating stiff competition including the Sony PSP and a host of home-entertainment technology products that organisers described as ranging from high-end heroes to mainstream mould-breakers.
With an estimated 75 per cent of UK homes now enjoying widescreen TV, Yamaha’s YSP Digital Sound Projector technology is a true technological breakthrough that delivers an elegant, compact and affordable one-box solution to produce stunning audio quality with no fuss, no wires and no hassle.
The awards are the ultimate accolade for Yamaha’s groundbreaking technology inspired with the interests of the consumer at heart. As opposed to traditional home theatre systems that require five or more separate speakers, endless and unsightly wiring loops and a degree in sound engineering to assemble, Yamaha’s YSP ‘Digital Sound Projectors’ comprise just one component, in which are mounted tiny high power digital amplifiers powering discreet sound-beam drivers.
These drivers direct focused beams of sound all around the room creating a three-dimensional soundfield exactly replicating the audio effect normally associated with complex wired multi-speaker systems. Yamaha’s Intellibeam technology ensures optimum multi- channel set-up by constant and precise monitoring and analysis of sound output via the supplied plug in microphone.

Extra realism is delivered via the company’s unique Cinema DSP technology which provides a range of specially-sampled acoustic spaces replicating different ‘soundscapes’ - three modes are available for movies, music and sports.
Set up is simplicity itself with the units offering a full auto set up function - one button tunes the entire system to the desired room space. With no hassle to set up and no wires under carpets or trailing across wooden floors, stunning home cinema sound is achieved in minutes.
