The Digital Sound Projector
™
Is in Front of You,
But the Sound Is All Around You.
A Multi-Channel Solution for Every Room.
The Yamaha Digital Sound Projectors employ a speaker array
powered by digital amplifiers, and our unique projection technology
to control the orientation of the sound. By focusing the sound into
”beams” and controlling the speaker delay times, the listeners
perceive the sounds to be coming from additional speakers placed
throughout the room, when in fact there is only the Yamaha Digital
Sound Projector

technology precisely controls
the direction of the sound by focusing it into beams. The focused sound
beams do not only reach the listeners directly but also by being
reflected off the walls. Two or more channels are overlaid to recreate
the desired sound (as in the right figure above). In a multi-channel
configuration, the sound beams are merged
together, recreating the sound of multi-
channel surround. The result is true multi-
channel surround sound that is just like a
multi-speaker system – without the need for
extra speakers or cables.
Five-Beam:
All five channels — L , R,
C, Ls and Rs — are given
separate orientations.
Sound is beamed off the
walls to create the effect
of a surround system
with rear speakers.
Stereo:
The left and right
woofers, with the Sound
beam speakers acting as
tweeters, reproduce the
effect of conventional
stereo speakers.
Three-Beam:
Three beams are
produced: L+ Ls, R+ Rs
and C. Reflecting the
sound off the walls
creates a surround sound
effect.
Stereo + Three-Beam:
The L and R channels are
produced using stereo
mode while C, Ls and Rs
are produced using
beaming. This mode is
effective when the YSP is
placed in a corner.
Target Mode:
A single beam is focused
on one specific direction
providing a specific area
with audio from the
YSP… great for listening
outside the normal
preset area.

Five Modes Give You a Range of Listening Options
Because the sound beams are precisely focused via the delay
controls and reflected off the walls, the sound source can be
located at a distance, so you enjoy a wider optimum listening
zone. In addition, the overall sound
ambience is very similar
to the outstanding
dynamics and clarity that
you hear in a movie
theatre.
