The Era of Entertainment
We are celebrating 15 years since the launch of our first Soundbar YSP-1, which represents the cornerstone of our Digital Sound Projector technology.
Ever since the launch in 2005, our soundbar products have continued to evolve to follow one goal: Upgrading your TV sound to make you feel what we at Yamaha call True Sound. Sound as it was meant to be heard.
Let´s take a closer look at a few milestones along the way!

YSP-1
Everything started here.
The Digital Sound Projector was the world’s first system to produce realistic 5.1 surround sound from a single unit. Individual control of 40 speakers installed into one body, formed the sound into beams.
By bouncing the sound off walls, a realistic 5.1 surround sound was created without the need for rear speakers. As a completely new kind of front speaker surround sound system, it opened up a new market for home theater systems.

Thanks to our exclusive IntelliBeam feature, complicated speaker setup and confusing cabling were no longer necessary to enjoy the advantages of multi-channel surround sound with accurate image localization.

With our YSP-500 we were ahead of our time and closer to 2020 than we believed back then: Measuring only 61 cm wide, it was the most compact soundbar in YSP history – still holding 18 speakers inside its small body.
