Yamaha's new 1-speaker surround

Yamaha introduced the world to the first truly stunning one-speaker surround system when it launched the YSP-1 back in mid-2005.

There then followed the stripped down YSP 800 last September and now we have the overhauled, YSP-1100. The long, flat speaker has been designed to fit neatly underneath large, flat-panel TVs and can deliver a full-surround sound experience without needing a ring of speakers and wires cluttering up your living room.

Inside are 40 speakers Yamaha_ysp1100_1 with individual amps and two subwoofers. Movie dialogue is heard from the front while other sounds are created by the speakers firing the sound around the room to create the surround effect. The IntelliBeam feature allows the speaker to be set up quickly and correctly for whatever room it’s placed in.

There are five sound settings: 5-Beam Mode, Stereo Mode, 3-Beam Mode, Stereo+3-Beam Mode and My Beam Mode. The YSP-1100 boasts a wider soundstage than its predecessors so it should work better no matter where you are sitting the room. There’s even a considerate Night Listening Enhancer mode that allows dialogue and quiet passages in movies to be to be heard clearly, even at low volumes. Your neighbours will love you but at around £1,000, will your wallet?  More
