Thanks to Yamaha's yAired™ technology, you can use your YSP-5100 with an
iPod and subwoofer without having to connect any cables. The yAired™
link transmits uncompressed data (linear PCM) so there is no loss of
signal data, unlike systems that use Bluetooth® wireless technology to
send compressed data. This ensures maximum sound quality. The PDX-50TX
provides wireless connection capability to your iPod. This allows you to
use the iPod as a remote control while listening to your iPod music and
provides synchronized power on/off. In addition, the iPod charges when
it is in the included charging cradle. The SWK-W10 allows the wireless
connection of any subwoofer, highly recommended for boosting bass sound.
Both of these kits can be used together; when doing so, turning on the
iPod automatically turns on the YSP-5100 and the subwoofer.

The YSP-5100 applies this sophisticated technology to precisely control
the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams. The
center channel sound is heard directly, while sounds from other channels
are heard after reflecting off walls. The result is true multichannel
surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system – but
without the need for extra speakers!
This slim unit has everything necessary for projecting true surround
sound built-in: DSP for Digital Signal Processor, 40 beam drivers, two
woofers, two tweeters and digital amplifiers. The two built-in tweeters
ensure high stereo sound quality. No other receiver, amplifier or
speakers are necessary, making the system extremely compact and
economical. This also makes it handy for use in a different room (zone)
in a custom multi-zone system. What's more, the shape is even thinner
(3-1/2” depth) than previous models.
The YSP-5100 provides HDMI connections (4 in / 1 out) with support for
1080p resolution. You can connect multiple HDMI sources and enjoy the
highest possible video quality when using a 1080p monitor. It is also
capable of repeating 1080p / 24 FPS signals from HDMI input to output,
maintaining the superior image quality from Blu-ray Disc players and
HDTV set top boxes. HDMI also provides the benefits of Deep Color,
x.v.Color and auto lip-sync.

The shells of the PHX are 11-ply hybrid shells. The woods used are
progressively harder from the center ply to the outer plies. The center
ply is jatoba; this is a very hard wood' and it "anchors" the
fundamental of the shell. Sandwiched on either side of this is kapur.
This wood is in the mahogany family and adds warmth to the sound of the
drum. The inner and outer plies are maple, except in the case of drums
using the optional burled ash outer ply. These drums use an outer
half-ply each of maple and burled ash. Maple rounds out the tone adding
high and mid frequencies to the shell.
All drums have a 30° bearing edge, but each "family" of drums uses a
different profile. Bass drums have a sharper edge cut toward the outer
plies. This gives the bass drums attack and shortens the decay. Floor
toms have a slightly rounded edge to give them a perfect balance of
attack and sustain, making them very articulate at all dynamic levels.
Toms have an even more rounded profile for warmth and sustain. This
combination of shell composition and bearing edges makes PHX what many
of our artists described as "the most musical drums [they] have ever
played".
PHX uses redesigned versions of the Nouveau lug and YESS. The new lug
mounts on a square hook rather than a round post. This keeps the tension
rod in perfect vertical alignment and eliminates the need to use two
hands while tuning the drum. We used the aluminum die-cast hoops made
popular on our Absolute series for PHX. These hoops are very light but
rigid, giving you the open, warm sound of a triple-flanged hoop and the
accurate tuning of a die-cast hoop. Lugs and hoops are available in
chrome or gold. 
The design of the cabinet is of course extremely important if the aim is
to create a speaker with superior reproduction capabilities. The goal
was to reduce standing waves to ensure highest accuracy, as well as to
provide a full, three-dimensional sound with an awesome feeling of
depth. The solution was to design a cabinet with non-parallel surfaces,
having the woofer and midrange sections divided by a slanted partition,
and strengthening the entire enclosure with vertical ladder bracing.
Another important point is the 3-way mitered construction of the cabinet
joints, achieved thanks to Yamaha’s excellence in woodworking. This
technique ensures extremely tight joints so the entire cabinet behaves
as a single unit, providing tight, powerful and accurate bass
reproduction.
The NS-F901 adopts Yamaha’s unique new A-PMD (advanced polymer-injected
mica diaphragm) with improved cone paper in order to reproduce high
resolution sound sources. Taking advantage of the strong points of the
A-PMD—extreme lightness, rigidity and stability—the speaker achieves
smoothness, very fast response and sound with good dissemination,
reproducing information-rich sound sources with an impressive feeling of
density. The A-PMD incorporates a powerful magnetic circuit with a
large neodymium magnet and a highly stiff aluminum diecast frame that
increases the aperture ratio, achieving outstanding power handling and
responsiveness in the mid frequency range - the heart of the music. The
rubber surround, a spider made by Kurt Müller of Germany and meticulous
tuning also contribute to the reproduction of high quality music and
movie sound.
The bass unit also adopts the new A-PMD with a paper cone upgraded for
the reproduction of high resolution sound. The use of a large ferrite
non-shielded magnet ensures high drive power that provides prodigious
bass volume. By utilizing high quality parts such as a high rigidity
aluminum diecast frame that dampens resonance, it reproduces bass with a
deep sense of scale, achieving both power and speed, leaking out of the
speaker cone. This means the full power of the waves is forced out
through the air port, resulting in clear, powerful bass.
The 1” dome tweeter is made of aluminum for both hardness and
responsiveness and like the midrange unit, uses a neodymium magnet. It
delivers sound that links the medium and high ranges with natural
smoothness and transparency. Firmly integrating the diaphragm and voice
coil and using a thick surround material increases the sound density and
resolution in the high range. With a heavy aluminum diecast tweeter
plate that minimizes unwanted resonances and an extremely fine mesh
grill that provides ideal sound dissemination, it faithfully reproduces
dense sound atmospheres and nuances from high resolution sound sources.
The crossover networks employ the highest quality parts, including Solen
metalized polypropylene capacitors and large iron-core coils with
carefully selected wire. All parts are connected by directly soldering
each one individually, instead of using printed circuit boards, further
contributing to the rich and vivid sound. Finally, meticulous sound
tuning ensures optimum transitions between drivers for smooth and
natural sound across the entire frequency range.
