Yamaha NS-2000A Floorstand Speakers

Description

INVENTIVE SOUND

The NS-2000A is a new generation of speaker crafted by Yamaha. Fusing exquisitely rich aesthetics with the latest
advanced technologies, it delivers a unified, balanced sound field that encompasses musicality at its essence.

STYLE FROM OUR PIANOS

The elegant appearance of Yamaha’s NS-2000A merges the style
of the piano with the design philosophy of the speaker. Yamaha’s
signature gloss finish has been adopted on these speakers, using
the same process as used on our grand pianos, a process reserved for
a limited number of products in Yamaha’s range. This elegant finish
presents the speaker as a stylish piece of furniture, providing
a gratifying feeling both when listening to music and even when not.
This is sound that only Yamaha can realise as the only audio brand in
the world that handles everything from the moment a sound is created
to the time it reaches the human ear. Simply close your eyes and feel
the artist performing right there in front of you, and experience the
profound sensation of being truly ‘Closer to the Artist.’

PERFECTLY UNIFIED TONE

Delivering the sounds of musical instruments as they are. As a worldrenowned musical instrument brand, Yamaha is relentlessly committed
to this mission. In order to make this quest a reality, we created
flagship speakers under the design concept of having consistent tone
color throughout the entire frequency spectrum and applied unique
technology to achieve it. For each and every one of its speaker units,
the NS-2000A employs the newly developed Harmonious
Diaphragm™ — made from a blend of ZYLON®, which has excellent
sound velocity and minimal internal dissipation, and spruce, which is
traditionally used in the soundboards of Yamaha’s grand pianos and is
essential for emanating sound. This ensures accurate, faithful tonal
expression throughout the entire audio spectrum, making the
harmonies of the sound stand out and the music richer and more
beautiful.

HIGHLY MUSICAL VIBRATION CONTROL

The basis for producing excellent sound—determining what makes the
enclosure sound and where to suppress vibration—is virtually identical
whether making musical instruments or making speakers. The cabinet
construction of the NS-2000A incorporates state-of-the-art speaker
design technology that makes full use of laser vibrometers, used in
musical instrument research and development, and sophisticated FEM
(Finite Element Method) analysis. The cross piece of the cabinet has
been optimally reinforced, ensuring solid low-frequency response,
providing a secure, comfortable musical foundation, and expressing the
vastness of the sound stage without anything being lost. S/N ratio, and
an overwhelmingly expressive power that perfectly draws out the sound
of any musical instrument.

FAITHFUL MUSICAL PRESENCE

Conventional speakers use a large amount of sound-absorbing material
to eliminate standing waves inside the cabinet. Unfortunately, doing so
also removes much of the inherent vibrancy of the music.
In the NS-2000A, we’ve employed our patented Acoustic Absorber
resonator tube to eliminate standing waves, and yet minimise the
amount of absorbing material employed, therefore preserving the
original life and energy of music that tends to be lost soaked up by
traditional sound absorption methods.

TOTAL MUSIC REPRODUCTION

Yamaha’s patented R.S. (Resonance Suppression) chambers have
been mounted to the back of both the tweeter and midrange units
in order to ensure faithful expression of even the finest nuances of
musicality and detail. To achieve this two specially engineered
tubes are deployed to cancel unwanted resonance generated
behind the diaphragm, and like the Acoustic Absorber even further
removes the need for traditional sound absorption materials
resulting in an energetic and lively sound that maintains minute
musical nuances from the original source.

SEAMLESS SONIC PERFORMANCE

Representative of the flagship series,
the NS-2000A adopts the highest
quality parts for the crossover circuit.
The MCap® SUPREME Classic
audio capacitor made by Mundorf of
Germany, renowned as the pinnacle
in audio-use capacitor, is used along
with a huge woofer coil.

SOLID CONNECTIVITY

Cut from pure brass, the large, screw type speaker terminals allow for easy
and firm tightening, making a highly
secure connection and delivering
absolute signal integrity

HIGH-QUALITY FEEL

The speaker terminals feature
an original design, with a shape
that comfortably fits with human
fingers for a luxurious feel, while
simultaneously allowing for
effortless tightening.
