Yamaha ST-1500 Digital Sound Base

Yamaha's Digital Sound Projectors achieve actual (not virtual) 5.1ch surround sound by producing beams of sound that reflect off the walls and controlling their directions. Beam position (listening position) can be adjusted over a wide area by using the remote control or the dedicated app, allowing many people to enjoy the powerful, expansive sound. The SRT-1500 does exactly this - it reproduces authentic 5.1 playback, but all from the base of your TV.

The SRT-1500’s large capacity cabinet is built using MDF materials ideal for producing good quality sound, with a central array of eight beam speakers that create Yamaha’s original Digital Sound Projector sound beams. Its surround sound is real and expansive, and with two subwoofer units mounted on the bottom surface it not only reproduces rich bass but also allows independent left and right control.

The subwoofers mounted on the left and right sides of the SRT-1500’s bottom surface come equipped with independent bass reflex ports. The ports reduce unwanted resonance by facilitating a smooth flow of air via straight construction of sufficient length with increased strength of the ports themselves and an oval wrapper on the port exits. Combined with its cabinet’s large-capacity construction, the unit achieves rich, clear bass reproduction. Yamaha’s ultra-sophisticated Cinema DSP technology creates thrillingly realistic soundscapes in any room. You can use the app to select five different programmes: Movie, Music, Sports, Game or TV programme.

The SRT-1500 supports the latest HDMI standards. Thanks to transmission of 4K video at 60 frames per second passthrough, you can fully enjoy the high definition video quality of 4K without degradation. It also adheres to the HDCP2.2 copyright protection standard for 4K video transmission. The SRT-1500 has an input terminal on the back to allow for easy connection and diagonal mounting makes connection to your TV or BD player even easier. It has HDMI (1 in / 1 out), optical and analogue input. It connects to your TV via a single cable, so setup is quick and easy.

The SRT-1500 is compatible with a free controller app for iOS and Android. The easy-to-see and easyto- use operating screen uses icons to let you easily perform a variety of operations while watching your smartphone or tablet screen. You can also make detailed settings for the beam sound output.
