Yamaha NS 5000 Bookshelf Speakers - pair

Yamaha NS 5000 Bookshelf Speakers - pair

Stands included

Introducing Yamaha’s flagship 3-way bookshelf speaker system, setting a new standard in performance and quality by which all other Hi-Fi speakers should be judged.

• Newly developed diaphragms boast acoustic velocity comparable to that of beryllium
• Newly developed R.S. (Resonance Suppression) Chambers suppress unwanted resonance in the mid and high ranges
• 30 cm (12”) 3-way bookshelf design draws on the tradition of the legendary NS-1000M
• Carefully crafted laminated plywood enclosure made of Japanese white birch from the island of Hokkaido
• Newly developed Acoustic Absorber eliminates sound-absorbing material to revive the original presence of the music
• Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance — and adds to the luxurious joy of ownership
• Frequency-dividing Network

Includes: SPS-5000 Stand

Speaker stand specifically for the NS-5000, featuring solid aluminium legs for exceptional stability and acoustic design for optimum sound.

 Newly Developed Diaphragms Boast Acoustic Velocity Comparable to That of Beryllium
NS-5000's tweeter, midrange, and woofer all feature diaphragms made of 100%* ZYLON® — a synthetic fiber created in Japan rated as the world’s strongest** and boasting optimum elasticity — and vapor-coated with Yamaha's proprietary monel alloy. The soft-dome diaphragm suppresses peaks and dips in the frequency response caused by the inherent resonance of the diaphragm, while taking advantage of ZYLON®'s high acoustic velocity comparable to that of beryllium. The result is a remarkably flat frequency response, with unified tone color and acoustic velocity over the entire frequency range, providing comfortable listening experience and meticulously accurate, superb sound reproduction of the highest degree.

* Using 100% for the base material.

Frequency-dividing Network

All drivers in the NS-5000 are connected in positive phase with single wiring to deliver a natural, pleasing listening experience. Components of its frequency-dividing network are mounted on a double-sided printed circuit board with extra-thick copper traces of 140 μ in thickness; a shorter signal path on the circuit board minimises the loss of sound data during transmission. Moreover, in order to minimise signal loss, we used for the network handpicked parts of only the highest quality, such as the MCap SUPREME EVO audio capacitor, which is made by Mundorf of Germany and renowned as the pinnacle of audio-use capacitor, Mundorf’s MResist SUPREME attenuator, and a woofer coil that weighs as much as 1.6 kg (3.52 lbs).
