Subwoofers for the
Digital Era
Now that audio and video have largely
moved to digital formats, the demands on
speaker systems are greater than ever.
The latest home theater systems, in
particular, not only use high-performance
DVD players, but also exploit the merits of
advanced sound processing formats like
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround.
Full audio enjoyment of these digital
sources requires deep, clear bass
response. This is especially true with 5.1
(6.1)-channel sound, because the sixth
channel is dedicated to the bass
frequencies. That means you not only
need a subwoofer, but a subwoofer
capable of handling extremely low
frequencies and high power levels, as well
as accurately reproducing the high quality
digital sound. Your best choice? The
YST-SW800 and YST-SW320 Subwoofers.

The beautifully finished cabinet uses
ultra-thick (25mm; 1") medium
density fiberboard for minimum
resonance.
Advanced YST
A unique system in which the speaker
and amplifier work together to cancel out
impedance so the speaker unit has a
perfectly linear motion.
The YST-SW800 and YST-SW320 use
Yamaha’s Advanced YST, as well as brand
new technologies such as QD-Bass to
deliver exceptionally crisp, clean, powerful
bass. They have extremely efficient, high-
power amplifiers built in, and use extra-
long stroke, drivers that provide
outstanding power with low distortion. The
YST-SW800 also introduces new power
supply technology and a driver featuring a
Dual-Bias system with a 100mm (4")
diameter voice coil for the ultimate in power
and performance. But whichever Yamaha
subwoofer you choose, you’ll get dynamic
bass that will bring out the full potential of
your digital music and movie sources.

(not used in competitors’ down-firing
subwoofers) negate any effects caused by
the floor surface and reduce resonance
between sound waves reflected from the
floor and the unit. Also, most other systems
use circular cones, but by radiating in four
directions to avoid the legs of the cabinet,
QD-Bass reduces turbulence caused by
reflection from the legs. Changing the

Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology
(Advanced YST) combines the excellent
imaging and point source characteristics of
small speakers with the superb bass response
of large ones. The key to its success is a
Helmholtz resonator—a small port in the
speaker cabinet. The cabinet volume and port
size are scaled to an exact ratio, which causes
small amplitude input signals to be magnified
without distortion. And because zero speaker
impedance results in the best reproduction of
deep bass tones, the Advanced YST system
includes a negative output impedance
amplifier. By precisely matching it to the
Helmholtz system, the combined amp-
speaker impedance become zero. This
enables the compact cabinet to reproduce
bass frequencies with close to perfectly flat
response. You’re assured of getting the
highest levels of sound pressure and overall
performance.
To fully optimize bass performance in a high-
end system, two subwoofers are
recommended.
