This new system from the Japanese company consists of a loudspeaker, a subwoofer and a versatile amplifier.
This True X series wants to provide advanced sound quality in the living room, whether it is used to watch series and movies or to play video games. Yamaha Two configurations are proposed here AmplifiersOne comes with an external subwoofer to boost its quality.
Sober bars
With the SR-X50A and SR-X40A, Yamaha hasn’t reinvented speaker design. On the other hand, the Japanese brand has incorporated enough technologies and options into it to make it fun and effective to use in the living room. On paper, the two speakers are identical, with Dolby Atmos compatibility, wifi, Bluetooth, HDMI eARC output, HDMI input, or a possible optical connection. Both tapes feature the Clear Voice option to provide better quality dialogue in the movie.
These speakers have a six-speaker configuration including two track tweeters on the front left and right, two tweeters as well as two built-in subwoofers. Our tweeters, we’re told, are dedicated to creating loud, three-dimensional sound. The SR-X50A is directly connected to a 100W external amplifier, which is an amplifier that must be purchased separately for the SR-X40A.
A complete and versatile system
Because the True X Series doesn’t just consist of these two soundbars. We also have to rely on the SW-X100A outdoor subwoofer specially composed of a 16cm cone speaker. Being wireless, this subwoofer can be installed anywhere in the room vertically or horizontally. The True X system is finally completed by the WS-X1A Wireless Speaker. A small 88 x 105 x 88 mm speaker is required to achieve True X sound quality, but it can also double as a portable speaker for listening to music on vacation.
The IP67 certification not only protects it from dust, but also from water, as the device is able to withstand immersion up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. The USB-C port allows the speaker to be fully charged in 3 hours, allowing for 12 hours of playback.
For pricing, Yamaha casts a wide net. The SR-X50A soundbar will be released this month at €899, which includes the SW-X100A bar and subwoofer at €349. The SR-X40A model is offered at €599, with it also available in July. Finally, the WS-X1A Bluetooth Speaker will retail for €169 when it comes out in August.
