Yamaha YSP-3050 Sound Projector Upscales HD Video
Also has optional YDS-11 iPod dock, 21 beam drivers, two woofers and analog-to-HDMI upconversion.
Yamaha's YSP-3050 is the latest in the company's line of Digital Sound Projectors.
The YSP-3050, which will be on display at CEDIA Expo 2008 (booth 450), is designed to fit under flat-panel TVs to provide a space-efficient option to installing multiple speakers in a room for immersive audio.
Digital Sound Projectors focus audio signals into precisely-controlled "beams" that provide multi-channel surround sound from a single component, according to Yamaha.
The YSP-3050 features:
The YSP-3050 is XM Satellite Radio ready with XM HD surround sound powered by Neural Surround.
It offers iPod compatibility with the optional YDS-11 dock. Once docked, the iPod can be operated (song selection, play, etc.) via the YSP's remote control and on-screen display.
Yamaha says its proprietary Compressed Music Enhancer technology compensates for the lost detail of audio that is compressed during the "ripping" process.
MSRP for the YSP-3050 is $1,399.
