Yamaha YSP-500 Sound Projector

Yamaha YSP500 Sound Projector
Seems like these sound projectors are all the rage at the moment, especially with people limited for space for their surround sound thrills or those of use fed up with speaker cables adorning their lounge floor. Well Yamaha have released an entry level unit, the YSP-500, for 75,000 yen about US$640, no news on a US launch but with Santa revving up the reindeer watch this space.

As befits an entry level model, the YSP-500 sports unremarkable specs at a mere 62W total output but does spread this over eighteen speakers of which sixteen are supposed to bounce the audio around your lounge to give a surround sound effect. The ‘IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration’ feature sets up these speakers to produce the ‘surround sound’ effect and not unsurprisingly an uncluttered room assists in this success of this process.

Although I’m all for getting rid of speaker cables and saving space around the home, I would want to test one of these systems out before purchasing as my lounge tends to be a little on the ‘cluttered’ side! Anyone out there have one of these systems? If so let us know what you think.
