FACTS, FEATURES & BENEFITS

Natural Wood Cabinets

Three-Way Mitered Construction

Yamaha speakers have featured 45° mitered-joint construction at the cabinet corners and baffle/body joints for many years. On the HX Series, mitered construction is also used for the back panel, improving the tightness of the joints so that the entire cabinet behaves as a single rigid

body. This reduces unwanted vibration and helps realize the three key elements of ideal home theater sound.

25mm (1") Baffle Board

Exceptionally thick, 25mm (1") baffle board is used in HX Series speakers* to further reduce unwanted vibration.

*Except NS-2HX speakers, which feature 15mm (5/8") baffle boards.

Canadian Maple Venner Cabinets with Piano-Type Open-Pore Finish

Canadian maple hardwood cabinets are given the same luxurious and environmentally friendly (non- PVC) finish used on Yamaha’s finest wood-grain pianos.

Bi-Wiring Connectivity

Signal integrity is enhanced by a bi- wiring system that provides separate +/- connection terminals for the woofer(s) and tweeterother driver(s).

The result is decreased modulation distortion for purer sound quality.

Aluminum Diecast Stands

NS-8HX and NS-6HX tower speakers are equipped with heavy-duty aluminum diecast stands that provide solid floor contact for accurate sound reproduction. The stands also feature a high-quality finish that nicely

complements the speakers' elegant design.

Yamaha’s Exclusive Three-Way Mitered Construction Produces Strong, Sturdy Cabinets with Minimum Resonance.

Yamaha's exclusive three-way mitered construction significantly improves the durability and precision of panel joints in HX Series cabinets. The cabinets resist deformation over time, and their precise construction suppresses unwanted resonance when speakers are played at high volume. Three-way mitering requires advanced production technology and rigorous quality control _ particularly when manufacturing compact cabinets _ and these are areas in which Yamaha has extensive expertise. In addition, our long experience as a monitor speaker manufacturer assures a high standard of woodworking excellence.

NS-C5HX, NS-2HX specifications

The Yamaha NS-2HX and NS-C5HX are noteworthy components within Yamaha's acclaimed range of home audio and cinema speakers. Known for their exceptional sound quality, these models integrate advanced technology and sophisticated design to deliver an enriching listening experience.

The Yamaha NS-2HX is a floor-standing speaker that showcases a combination of high sensitivity, a broad frequency response, and remarkable power handling capabilities. Built with dual 6.5-inch woofers, it offers deep, resonant bass while maintaining clear mids and highs. The speaker employs a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter that produces crisp, detailed treble, ensuring that every note and nuance is well-articulated.

One of the standout features of the NS-2HX is its Acoustic Suspension design, which minimizes distortion for a more natural sound. The speaker cabinet is engineered using a combination of dense MDF, which contributes to its rigidity and resonance control. This construction helps in reducing unwanted vibrations, allowing for pure, uncolored sound reproduction. The NS-2HX is also designed for versatility, making it suitable for both hi-fi stereo setups and home theater applications.

On the other hand, the Yamaha NS-C5HX serves as a dedicated center channel speaker designed to complement the NS-2HX in a surround sound system. It employs dual 5-inch woofers along with a 1-inch tweeter, striking a balance between power and precision. This speaker is crucial for delivering clear dialogue and well-defined sound effects, enhancing the overall cinematic experience. Like its floor-standing counterpart, the NS-C5HX utilizes a similar construction methodology, ensuring that it produces sound with minimal distortion.

Both the NS-2HX and NS-C5HX are designed with aesthetics in mind, featuring elegant finishes that integrate seamlessly into various interior environments. The speakers are equipped with gold-plated binding posts that provide secure connections and enhance signal integrity.

In summary, the Yamaha NS-2HX and NS-C5HX together offer a powerful combination of high-quality sound delivery, modern design, and versatile applications. They are ideal choices for those looking to elevate their audio experience, whether for music or movies, ensuring that every listening session is immersive and enjoyable. With Yamaha's legacy of innovation and quality engineering, these speakers are a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence in sound reproduction.
