Near-perfect
Evolution
More than 30 years experience in the design and production of
top-performance speaker systems has won
Yamaha an enviable position in the recording
field: respected professionals depend on
Yamaha to help them achieve award-winning sound.
The venerable NS10M STUDIO monitor speaker is an excellent
example: from its introduction in the 80’s through to its recent
discontinuation (due to unavailability of the necessary pure virgin
pulp for its distinctive white woofer cone), the NS10M STUDIO
was the definitive near-field speaker monitor in an overwhelming
majority of professional studios throughout the world. But times
change, and technology must evolve. The MSP10 STUDIO is
an example of near-perfect evolution. It takes over where
its predecessor left off with precision and performance
that are perfectly suited to today’s production needs.
The Yamaha MSP10 STUDIO Powered Monitor is
poised to become a cornerstone of the “new age” of
audio production, in which advanced digital production
consoles such as the Yamaha DM2000 and 02R96 as well as
high-sample-rate digital source material and ultra-accurate
reproduction media are rapidly becoming the norm.
“Good” Sound Is Not
Necessarily “Right” Sound
The last thing an audio professional needs is flattering sound.
They need the truth – precise reproduction that clearly reflects
even the tiniest changes in EQ, dynamics, effects, or any of the
multitude of parameters that add up to create the final sound.
Thus, unlike many home-use systems that can simply be made to
sound “good,” reference monitors have to sound “right,” and
that’s an entirely different story. Here’s where inspired design,
uncompromising material selection, innovative technology,
micron-tolerance manufacturing, and a good dose of one elusive
skill that only comes through long experience – knowing what
“right sound” sounds like – become vitally important.
The MSP10 STUDIO design team, headed by Akira Nakamura,
designer of the original NS10M, has all the necessary skills,
resources, and dedication. And with development assistance and
feedback from industry luminaries, the Yamaha MSP10
STUDIO delivers performance you can bet your career on.
Powered for Consistent
Quality & Convenience
In any situation speakers are part of an interactive “system.”
This includes the speakers themselves, the amplifier that is
driving them, and the room in which they are used. Ideally, all
of these elements must be carefully controlled to achieve
optimum performance. By integrating the power amplifiers and
speakers, at least part of the equation can be kept under perfect
control (the room is up to the user). The MSP10 STUDIO
power amplifier/speaker system is ideally matched and
precisely tuned to achieve the best possible performance. Of
course, the power amplifiers themselves are of the finest quality.
And unlike component power amplifiers which must be
MSP10 STUDIO FEATURES
designed for acceptable (read: “compromised”) matching with
the widest possible range of speakers, the MSP10 STUDIO’s
amplifiers are designed and manufactured specifically to drive
the system’s woofer and tweeter – specifically in the MSP10
STUDIO enclosure. No matter where the MSP10 STUDIO
monitors are used, and with what sources or other audio gear,
you know that you’re always receiving the benefits of a
perfectly matched power amplifier and speaker system. You’ll
hear the difference. You’ll also benefit from the convenience of
not having to deal with external amplifiers and cabling.
Advanced Bi-amp Design
There are a number of advantages to multi-amp speaker setups,
but many people shy away from the added cost and extra
equipment required. With the MSP10 STUDIO everything you
need is built-in – all you have to do is supply the line-level
input. The 8-inch cone woofer is driven by a 120-watt power
amplifier, while the 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter has its own
60-watt power amplifier. In the MSP10 STUDIO this particular
power and impedance combination results in the perfect
balance between the low-mid and high frequency ranges.
The frequency ranges are divided via a carefully designed
electronic crossover before the power amplifier inputs,
featuring steep 30-dB/octave roll-off curves in both the lowand high-pass filters. The steep roll-off minimizes intermodulation between the frequency bands at the crossover point,
achieving significantly smoother, cleaner crossover
performance in the critical midrange. And the fact that the
crossover is a line-level electronic design completely
eliminates the loss, distortion, and sometimes severe intermodulation that are almost unavoidable in conventional passive
crossover networks driven by a single power amplifier.
