YST-SW005 specifications

The Yamaha YST-SW005 is a compact yet powerful subwoofer designed to enhance your audio experience, particularly in home theater setups and music listening environments. With a sleek design and advanced features, the YST-SW005 delivers deep, impactful bass that adds richness to soundtracks and music alike.

One of the major features of the YST-SW005 is its 8-inch cone woofer, which is adept at producing crisp lows and well-defined bass tones. The woofer is built with a high-quality composition that ensures durability and exceptional performance. This subwoofer is capable of delivering a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 150 Hz, enabling it to reproduce the deepest bass notes that many standard speakers cannot handle.

The Yamaha YST technology employed in this subwoofer is innovative and sets it apart from competitors. YST stands for Yamaha Active Servo Technology, which actively monitors and controls the motion of the woofer cone. This technology enhances dynamic range and low-frequency reproduction, ensuring that the sound is both powerful and precise, resulting in a richer audio experience.

The YST-SW005 also features a built-in 50-watt RMS amplifier, which provides ample power to enhance performance without distortion. A variable low-pass crossover control allows users to adjust the frequency range, enabling seamless integration with other speakers in a multi-channel audio setup. This flexibility in settings makes it easy to tailor the sound to fit various room acoustics and personal preferences.

Additionally, the subwoofer is fitted with both line-level and speaker-level inputs, providing versatility in connectivity. This means it can easily connect to a wide range of audio systems, whether using an AV receiver or directly connecting to speakers, ensuring compatibility with most home theater setups.

The cabinet design of the YST-SW005 is acoustically optimized, reducing unwanted vibrations and interference to maximize sound clarity. Its stylish appearance, available in a classic black finish, allows it to fit seamlessly into any living space without being an eyesore.

In conclusion, the Yamaha YST-SW005 subwoofer is an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their audio experience with deep and powerful bass. With its innovative YST technology, solid construction, and versatile connectivity options, it stands out as a reliable addition to any sound system, providing a satisfying listening experience for music lovers and movie enthusiasts alike.
