Bring surround sound home

You're interested in stepping things up a notch or two in your home theater. Point in case, you've already invested in a mid-size 32" or 42" 1080p LCD HDTV and Blu-ray player, so the video side of things is covered. Now it's time to make the leap from stereo audio to 5.1-channel surround sound. Combining four two-way satellite speakers and a single two-way center-channel speaker with a powered subwoofer, the NS-SP1800 speaker system brings surround sound to your home theater. Each satellite speaker features a single 0.5" tweeter and 2.5" woofer driver, delivering full, vibrant surround sound effects. The center-channel speaker sports dual 2.5" woofers and a single 0.5" tweeter, reproducing movie dialogue with clarity and detail. Finally, the 8" powered subwoofer completes the audio experience, adding deep, controlled bass audio that you can both hear and feel.

Advanced bass audio

For improved low-frequency bass audio reproduction, the NS-SP1800's subwoofer has been outfitted with Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (YST). A unique sound-reproduction system, YST allows both speaker and amplifier to work together to cancel out impedance, achieving improved linear motion of the driver. YST ensures the highest levels of sound pressure and overall performance.

Magnetically shielded for versatile placement

As you might be aware, speakers rely on powerful magnets to reproduce the sound on your favorite albums and movie soundtracks. What you might not know, however, is that speaker magnets can potentially interfere with or damage other A/V components when placed too near to these other devices. Preventing damage and helping to ensure optimal performance &mdash as well as allowing for versatile placement — all of the speakers in the NS-SP1800 system have been magnetically shielded.
