The Yamaha True X soundbar has been released by the Japanese company. The Yamaha True X is a True Wireless Surround System that comes with Dolby Atmos support. The new Yamaha offerings are the SR-X40A and SR-X50A soundbars. The Yamaha SR-X50A soundbar is 101cm long and comes with two upward-firing drivers to achieve the height component of Dolby Atmos soundtracks. It also features forward-firing stereo from full-range drivers supported by two 3-inch woofers on the soundbar. Additionally, the SR-X50A has a wireless subwoofer with a 6.25-inch driver. Yamaha says the SR-X50A delivers truly deep bass, thanks to its subwoofer’s driver.
Also released are the Yamaha WS-X1A
wireless speakers which come with a smaller architecture. These are small
speakers 11cm high with a 9cm sure footprint and a 5.5cm driver together with
twin passive radiators. When used in Solo Mode, the WS-X1A can be used as a
standalone mono Bluetooth speaker indoors or outdoors. The WS-X1A is IP67-rated
for dust and water resistance. The soundbar comes with a battery and can also
be connected to a power source via USB-C. You can also use the Yamaha CC-T1A
charging base to charge/ power the device.
The True X can be wirelessly connected to
your TV to deliver surround sound left and right. The soundbars can be
connected to the Yamaha Sound Bar Controller app for seamless control and
setup. The soundbars do not necessarily require any cables, thus providing a
more uncluttered environment while top-notch audio is guaranteed. However,
there are a few ports like HDMI Arc or Optical for connectivity. The soundbar
can also be used for online music streaming via Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect,
Amazon Music, and others. Additionally, Apple users can stream content to the
soundbar via AirPlay 2.
The overall rating of the Yamaha True X
lineup builds on Yamaha’s track record in the sound industry. The new models
square up nicely against the leading soundbars in the market. The models will
arrive in Australia in September with black and carbon grey colorways on offer.
Availability is also open in other markets and pricing of the soundbars is
varied.
