The YSP-1 employs multiple small speakers, each with it's own digital amplifier, and our unique projection technology to control the orientation of the sound. By focusing the sound into ”beams” and controlling the speaker delay times, the listener perceives the sounds to be coming from additional speakers placed throughout the room, when in fact there is only the Yamaha Digital Sound Projector.
