YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimisation with Multi-Point Measurement

YPAO-R.S.C. analyses room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound at any of eight listening positions. It employs Reflected Sound Control to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalisation, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds.

YPAO Volume to Ensure Natural Sounds Even at Low Volume

Human ears have less sensitivity to high and low frequencies, especially at lower volumes. YPAO Volume applies loudness EQ correction to automatically adjust high and low frequency levels as volume changes. Using the YPAO measurement results, EQ correction is optimised to your system settings and listening environment.

HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D and Virtual Presence Speaker

CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speakers.

Virtual Presence Speaker and Virtual Surround Back Speaker

The Virtual Presence Speaker function makes full use of centre and surround speakers to create virtual presence speakers. Enjoy CINEMA DSP 3D Mode surround sound even in environments where speaker installation is limited. In addition, This model also features a Virtual Surround Back Speaker function. Even without using surround back speakers, you can experience more natural sound from behind you.

Virtual CINEMA FRONT Provides Virtual 7-channel Surround Sound with High Quality and Resolution

Even when it is impossible to install surround speakers behind the listening position, Virtual CINEMA DSP reproduces virtual 7-channel surround sound filled with realism, from only two front speakers. The Virtual CINEMA FRONT feature lets you place two surround speakers and a centre speaker at the front to enjoy virtual 7-channel surround sound with even higher quality and resolution, as well as superior rear virtual sound localisation. Adding two additional front presence speakers provides a three-dimensional sound field that gives you a feeling of its height and depth and of the vertical movement of the sound. You get more flexibility to arrange your speakers inside the room, along with easy enjoyment of high quality surround sound.

Extra Bass Provides Rich Bass Reproduction, Even with Small Speakers

Yamaha’ s exclusive low-range enhancement technology delivers richer bass than you expect from the speaker size while maintaining good localisation and sound balance even with compact front speakers. When a subwoofer is used, it improves the volume of the entire low range of the speaker system, not only the front speakers, but also enhancing the bass from the subwoofer. You'll enjoy video and music with sound that has exceptional power and presence.

Compressed Music Enhancer

When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. Yamaha’s Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should.

Subwoofer Trim for Improved Sound Imaging

The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is “pushed” toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilising the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass sound.

Intelligent Amp Assign

Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers, depending on what functions are selected. For example, in a 7.1-channel system, when Zone 2 is off, all 7.1 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two Surround Back channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2, and the Main Zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Similarly, when CINEMA DSP 3D is on, the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two Surround Back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D is off, this situation is reversed. Furthermore, in a 5.1.2-channel system for Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, when Zone 2 is off, all 5.1.2 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two height / overhead channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2, and th e Main Zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Thanks to Intelligent Amp Assign, there’s no need to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the receiver―one more way Yamaha makes your life a little easier.

ECO mode Lowers Power Consumption by 20%*

Yamaha’s new ECO mode reduces power consumption by about 20%. It can be set from the top of the GUI menu.

*Compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off (Yamaha measurement).

Selectable Auto Power Standby

Auto Power Standby lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after 20 minutes, 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours.











Yamaha’s Sound Concept: The Ability to Fully Play All the Latest AV Sources

If the sound quality is not good enough in 2-channel playback, there is no chance of properly reproducing the source in surround sound. This is the idea that led to the development of this floorstanding speaker for a 5-channel system. Every channel has an all-new tweeter and PMD cone woofer combination. Able to handle audio-rich data, it ensures that expansive and seamless theatre sound will fill your room.

Expansive, Glistening Sound. A New 3 cm (1”) Aluminium Dome Tweeter that Reproduces 45 kHz (–10 dB) High Frequencies

As a next-generation unit, the NS-F350 employs a new structure that puts an aluminium dome inside the voice coil. The aluminium’s Black Anodised processing suppresses the aluminium-specific character of the sound, providing expansive and accurate reproduction of the texture and nuance of the high frequencies. With a new diffuser shape and a new voice coil using CCAW (copper-coated aluminium wire) it achieves 45 kHz (–10 dB) reproduction with extended high frequency range while maintaining the amount of information and energy in the audible band.

Featuring a Unique Waveguide Horn that Controls Directivity

Based on the idea of controlling spatial representation from the speaker, the waveguide horn directs the sound to reflect from walls and other surfaces. Thanks to the directivity of a left-right directional range of 135 degrees and a vertical range of 120 degrees optimised for home theatre use, it precisely recreates the sound field while minimising the impact of the room.

Featuring a PMD Cone. A 13 cm (5”) Midrange and 16 cm (6-1/2”) Dual Woofers, Supple and Transparent in Tone

The NS-F350’s 3-way, 4-speaker configuration utilises a PMD (Polymer-Injected Mica Diaphragm) cone, midrange and woofer, already proven to achieve ideal internal loss and high elasticity characteristics through light weight and high rigidity. Its SN ratio excels in the range of the human voice and vocals, and its low frequency range is supple and transparent in tone.

Rounded Front Baffle with Double Structure

The cabinet features a rounded shape that curves smoothly to both sides. By reducing the number of parallel surfaces it minimises standing waves and unwanted resonance. The front baffle has a double structure with a mirror-like piano finish. With reinforced strength, it produces more natural, extremely transparent tones.

Massive Power for Optimum Sound Performance


Expansive, Glistening Sound. A New 3 cm (1”) Aluminium Dome Tweeter that Reproduces 45 kHz (–10 dB) High Frequencies

As a next-generation unit, the NS-PC350 and NS-PB350 employ a new structure that puts an aluminium dome inside the voice coil. The aluminium’s Black Anodised processing suppresses the aluminium-specific character of the sound, providing expansive and accurate reproduction of the texture and nuance of the high frequencies. With a new diffuser shape and a new voice coil using CCAW (copper-coated aluminium wire) it achieves 45 kHz (–10 dB) reproduction with extended high frequency range while maintaining the amount of information and energy in the audible band.

Featuring a Unique Waveguide Horn that Controls Directivity

Based on the idea of controlling spatial representation from the speaker, the waveguide horn directs the sound to reflect from walls and other surfaces. Thanks to the directivity of a left-right directional range of 135 degrees and a vertical range of 120 degrees optimised for home theatre use, it precisely recreates the sound field while minimising the impact of the room.

Supple and Strong. 13 cm (5”) Woofer Utilises a PMD Cone with a Proven Track Record in Europe and Japan

Incorporating 30% high quality white mica, the 13 cm (5”) woofer utilises a lightweight, high rigidity PMD (Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) cone that achieves ideal internal loss and high elasticity characteristics. The new design put both the voice coil and spider under the knife, achieving massive, expansive low tones.

Wall Mountable

The NS-PC350 and NS-PB350 have keyholes on the back so they can be quickly and securely wall mounted.
