Yamaha YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector Review [0.37] by tom,February 04, 2008 13:00

The YSP-4000 is the newest and top-of-the-line product in this well received line. To say that it has been pushed to its limits in this review is probably an understatement. But did it pass? In my book - yes… for movies. Are you going to need a DVD player or other source? Yes. Are you going to need a subwoofer? Definitely. But for movies, what you'll get is a convincing facsimile of surround from a single source, undeniable cool factor, and convenience galore.

Yamaha YSP-2200 Digital Sound Projector Review [0.36] by clint,June 10, 2012 19:15

Well, we're not new to digital sound projectors like the Yamaha YSP-2200, but maybe you are so here's a quick - and I mean quick - summary. A traditional sound bar has several speakers that simply replace the speakers on your TV and give you a bit better sound quality. Well, given just how bad TV speakers are getting, they give you MUCH better sound quality. Still, if they do any simulated surround sound it's merely phase-induced and not very sophisticated. Sometimes it even kinda ruins the sound. Yamaha's Digital Sound Projectors, on the other hand, use any number of tiny speakers that work in conjunction with a very sophisticated algorithm to literally place 5 virtual speakers in your room. That means that, unlike a traditional soundbar, you can "steer" the beams so that your surround speakers are exactly where you want them to be.
