Yamaha, NS-P350, 1 Centre, 2 Surround Speaker Package (6 Ohms)

As a next-generation unit, the NS-PC350 and NS-PB350 employ a new structure that puts an aluminium dome inside the voice coil. The aluminium’s Black Anodised processing suppresses the aluminium-specific character of the sound, providing expansive and accurate reproduction of the texture and nuance of the high frequencies. With a new diffuser shape and a new voice coil using CCAW (copper-coated aluminium wire) it achieves 45 kHz (–10 dB) reproduction with extended high frequency range while maintaining the amount of information and energy in the audible band.

Based on the idea of controlling spatial representation from the speaker, the waveguide horn directs the sound to reflect from walls and other surfaces. Thanks to the directivity of a left-right directional range of 135 degrees and a vertical range of 120 degrees optimised for home theatre use, it precisely recreates the sound field while minimising the impact of the room.

Incorporating 30% high quality white mica, the 13 cm (5”) woofer utilises a lightweight, high rigidity PMD (Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) cone that achieves ideal internal loss and high elasticity characteristics. The new design put both the voice coil and spider under the knife, achieving massive, expansive low tones.
