Main features
Uses Yamaha's unique SR-Bass™ technology* to provide realistic sound
and amazing energy in a small speaker.
• Supports both low-impedance and high-impedance connection in a
single speaker.
• Features connection terminals for satellite speakers, allowing you to
keep the number of power amplifier channels used to a minimum.
* SR-Bass™ represents the evolution of passive-type diaphragm technology. It
is Yamaha's unique bass reproduction technology that efficiently converts the
energy inside the speaker cabinet into low-frequency sound.
