Yamaha NS5000: 3 Way Premium Bookshelf Speaker (Black)

Features of Yamaha NS5000: 3 Way Bookshelf Speaker Experience unparalleled audio quality with the Yamaha NS5000 Premium Bookshelf Speaker. Its newly developed diaphragms deliver acoustic velocity that rivals beryllium, ensuring crystal-clear sound reproduction. The R.S. Chambers effectively suppress unwanted resonance in the mid and high ranges, resulting in a pure and immersive listening experience. Crafted with laminated plywood made from Japanese white birch, this speaker combines elegance with exceptional performance. Revive the original presence of your favorite music with the newly developed Acoustic Absorber, while the glossy black piano finish adds a touch of luxury to any space. Newly Developed Diaphragms With Acoustic Velocity Comparable to That of Beryllium Elevate your audio experience with the Yamaha NS5000 Premium Bookshelf Speaker. Featuring diaphragms made of 100% ZYLON®, known as the world’s strongest synthetic fiber, this speaker delivers unparalleled sound quality. With its soft-dome diaphragm and high acoustic velocity, it ensures a flat frequency response and unified tone color. Say goodbye to peaks and dips in your music and enjoy a truly immersive and balanced listening experience. Bring the concert hall into your living room with the Yamaha NS5000.   * Using 100% for the base material. ** Comparative data concerning all existing organic fibers (source: Toyobo Co., Ltd., May 2015) Frequency-dividing Network Prepare to be captivated by the Yamaha NS5000 Premium Bookshelf Speaker. Its single wiring system connects all drivers in positive phase, delivering an immersive and pleasing listening experience. The frequency-dividing network, mounted on a double-sided printed circuit board, minimizes sound data loss during transmission through its shorter signal path. With handpicked components of the highest quality, such as the MCap SUPREME EVO audio capacitor by Mundorf of Germany, this speaker provides unmatched audio performance. Elevate your music enjoyment to new heights with the Yamaha NS5000. Newly developed R.S. (Resonance Suppression) Chambers Suppress Unwanted Resonance in the Mid and High Ranges Mounted on the back of the tweeter and midrange speaker units are newly developed R.S. Chambers (patent pending) that suppress unnecessary tube resonance generated behind the diaphragm. Two specially shaped tubes installed in accordance with our proprietary acoustic analysis cancel tube resonance. These R.S. Chambers achieve higher-resolution audio reproduction by eliminating the need for a large quantity of sound-absorbing material inside the enclosure that tends to smooth the frequency response of each speaker unit and might degrade minute nuances of the sound.   Newly Developed Acoustic Absorber Eliminates Sound-absorbing Material to Revive the Original Presence of the Music The cuboid enclosure unifies internal standing waves at a specified frequency, which are cancelled by a newly developed resonance tube (patent pending). This technology eliminates the previous need for the huge amount of sound-absorbing material inside the enclosure. The result is the virtual elimination of standing waves with amazing efficiency and pin-point accuracy—to energetically revive the essential presence of music, formerly lost by sound absorption.   Carefully Crafted Laminated Plywood Enclosure Made of Japanese White Birch from the Island of Hokkaido In selecting a material for the enclosure of the NS-5000, we carried out comprehensive studies of mechanical strength and acoustic properties of various materials, as well as the quality of domestic wood processed by painstakingly removing every knot and hole from the lumber and ensuring the durability necessary to withstand long use; we settled on laminated plywood made of white birch from the island of Hokkaido. The front baffle is 29.5 mm (1-1/8”) thick and the other five sides of the enclosure 20 mm (3/4”) (in all cases, omitting paint primer layer and paint thickness), ensuring ideal rigidity of the entire enclosure.   30 cm (12”) 3-way Bookshelf Design Draws on the Tradition of the Legendary NS-1000M As a result of meticulous research on a variety of enclosure designs during the development of the NS-5000, we chose a bookshelf design as a successor to the continuing legacy of the NS-1000M (released in 1974), the pinnacle of Yamaha monitor speakers. This bass-reflex enclosure with an internal volume of 65 liters — the smallest possible size for a 30 cm (12”) 3-way configuration — is solidly assembled with the 3-way mitered joint construction technique and other traditional crafting methods. Reinforcing crosspieces inside the enclosure, based on FEM analysis, suppress “box ringing” caused by delayed vibration from the six surfaces of the enclosure. In addition, a twisted flare port prevents port noise (wind noise produced at each end of a bass reflex port) inherent in the bass reflex design, and improves resolution in the low frequency range while also enhancing signal-to-noise performance.   Glossy Black Piano Finish Provides Improved Signal-to-noise Performance—and Adds to the Luxurious Joy of Ownership All six external surfaces of the enclosure have a glossy black piano finish created using the same dedicated paint, primer, and polishing processes used for Yamaha’s renowned grand pianos. The uniform and hard membrane further increases the overall rigidity of the enclosure, and at the same time it suppresses fine vibrations, contributing to the bright sound and significantly enhanced signal-to-noise performance.
