Innovative Cabinet Design

Yamaha developed the Soavo speakers to provide extraordinarily realistic music reproduction.

We accomplished this through a combination of advanced speaker engineering, use of the absolute best parts and materials available, and an innovative cabinet design.

One of the keys to Soavo’s ability to deliver Natural Sound music reproduction is the cabinet design. While maximizing sound clarity and imaging, the designers strived to drastically reduce internal standing waves and produce an expansive sound with an exceptional feeling of depth. Their solution was to create a cabinet with non-parallel sides, divide the woofer and midrange sections by a slanted partition, and strengthen the interior with large, vertical ladder-type bracing.

Three-Way Mitered-Joint Construction for a Rigid Body

Yamaha’s excellence in woodworking is used to good advantage in the three-way mitered construction of the cabinet joints. This technique ensures extremely tight joints so the entire cabinet behaves as a single unit, providing tight bass reproduction.

Diecast Aluminium Stands

The Soavo-1 is equipped with diecast aluminium stands that provide the necessary solid floor contact for tighter bass and increased stability.

Independent Direct Crossover Connections

Yamaha’s total commitment to achieving rich and vivid sound is seen in the design of the Soavo networks. They use the highest quality parts, including Solen metalized polypropylene capacitors of France and large hollow centre coils with carefully selected wire. Furthermore, rather than using printed circuit boards, each connection is individually soldered on a thick wooden board, providing larger, shorter signal paths for maximum sound quality.

Natural Sound Speaker System specifications

The Yamaha Natural Sound Speaker System is a hallmark of audio excellence, designed to deliver an immersive listening experience that captures the essence of live performances. Renowned for its innovative technology and attention to detail, this system is well-suited for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the main features of the Yamaha Natural Sound Speaker System is its advanced driver technology. The system typically includes a combination of woofers, mid-range drivers, and tweeters that work together to produce a balanced sound profile. The woofers provide deep, powerful bass that can fill a room, while the mid-range drivers ensure that vocals and instrumentals are clear and articulate. The tweeters, often dome-shaped, deliver crisp treble frequencies, enhancing the overall audio experience.

Yamaha employs cutting-edge materials in the construction of their speaker cones and cabinets, which significantly contributes to sound quality. The use of high rigidity materials minimizes distortion, allowing for accurate sound reproduction even at higher volumes. Additionally, the cabinets are designed to reduce resonance, further enhancing clarity and precision in audio output.

Another key characteristic of the Yamaha Natural Sound Speaker System is its versatility. Whether used for music listening, movie watching, or gaming, this system can adapt to various environments and use cases. Many models come equipped with adjustable settings to optimize performance based on the specific acoustic characteristics of the room, making it suitable for both small apartments and large home theaters.

Yamaha's commitment to Natural Sound technology can also be seen in the integration of advanced connectivity options. Many models support wireless streaming via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing users to easily connect their devices for a hassle-free audio experience. This modern adaptability ensures seamless integration with contemporary home entertainment systems.

In conclusion, the Yamaha Natural Sound Speaker System stands out for its high-quality audio performance, innovative driver technology, and meticulous construction. Its ability to reproduce sound accurately and its versatility across different media make it a top choice for anyone seeking an exceptional listening experience. Whether you are an audiophile or simply enjoy high-fidelity sound, Yamaha delivers a product that meets and exceeds expectations in any environment.
