It’s the unique blend of
century-long acoustic experience with cutting-edge
electronic systems envisioned,
developed—and ultimately
produced—in Yamaha’s own
laboratories and semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
Yamaha’s many years of crafting and refining musical instru-
ments are matched by our vast
experience at analyzing and
enhancing the venues where
these instruments are used.
Yamaha specialists have analyzed
and acoustically designed hundreds of studios and concert halls
for optimum audio performance.
And we’ve engineered what
we’ve learned into the proprietary
microchips that expand and
enhance your listening experience
through advances such as Cinema
DSP™and Tri-Field Processing in
our home theater components.
No other company can bring
this fusion of aesthetic sensibility
and technological capability to
bear on the creation of worldclass audio components.
We invite you to explore the
results on the following pages.
You’ll find an extensive family
of home theater components
and matched systems. Each is
designed to make it easy to
surround yourself with audio
of uncompromising quality.
Because all embody
the passion for creating
extraordinary sound that
has distinguished Yamaha
for generations.
Yamaha has amassed an
incredible range of sound field
experience by measuring and
recording the characteristics of
all kinds of venues.
Developing our own sophisticated semiconductor technology
has made Yamaha one of the
world’s leading microprocessor
manufacturers.
Yamaha has been intimately
involved with sound since our
first organs and pianos debuted
to appreciative audiences in the
late 1800s. In the decades since
then, we’ve steadily refined our
knowledge of music and sound
reproduction—and the many roles
they play in our everyday lives.
Our experience resonates in
concert halls throughout America,
Europe and Asia. It’s hard at work
in recording studios from
Hollywood to Nashville. It helps
music students master their
calling. And it brings brilliant
musical performances and blockbuster motion picture soundtracks
to life in the homes of those who
appreciate great entertainment.
Yamaha’s musical accomplishments now encompass the
production of more than five
million pianos, as well as acoustic
guitars and wind instruments
prized by everyone from amateur
performers to members of worldclass ensembles and orchestras.
And just as electronic technology has transformed our century,
over the years it’s also become
an integral part of new generations of Yamaha products for
audio professionals as well as
home entertainment.
In fact, you’ll find that
Yamaha’s electronic expertise now
extends to virtually every corner of
the world of sound.
Our electric guitars, keyboards
and synthesizers, digital drum
machines and electronic wind
instruments have earned critical
acclaim from the music industry’s
most demanding performers.
And our revolutionary digital
mixing consoles are sought after
by recording engineers who gain
greater creative freedom from
their highly automated features.
At the heart of all these products resides the secret to the
extraordinary performance and ease of use you’ll discover in
Yamaha home theater components as well.
Yamaha music schools in over 40
countries have enabled more than
four million students to share the
joys of performance art.
The design of every Yamaha
electric guitar draws on the
expertise of professional musicians and music consultants.
