Regarding such products, there are indeed not many articles on the Internet for reference. There are indeed many confusions before starting, and many people on the Internet are asking questions, but there are very few respondents. It is just that they have successfully purchased this equipment, and they would like to sum up their own puzzles before buying, so that more people can understand such products. This article only discusses the whispering wall below RMB 3,000, and high-level comrades should skip it directly.
Reasons to purchaseTo be honest, it took a lot of time before the purchase to really understand this type of product. Think of the TV's own speaker effect, his face is tears, and then look at his small living room, where there is room to place 6 speakers Oh, say, they already have children, and there are dare to consider placing in the living room 6 speakers, so I began to pay attention to all kinds of echo wall products. After watching for half a year, he finally hesitated between Yamaha Yas and YSP for a long time before finally deciding to start Yamaha ysp series.
What's the difference between YAS and YSP: yas virtual surround technology depends entirely on software operations; ysp is physical surround. In addition there are prices, one YSP is twice the price of YAS (domestic). YAS Chinese translation: front surround sound system; YSP Chinese translation: digital sounder. If you don't understand this, you can just look at the price. The speaker is a penny and a piece of goods. The imaginary is always imaginary.
YAS is not so useless. Some models also include an HDMI interface, AC3 and DTS hardware decoding, and Yamaha's AIR SURROUND XTREME technical support. If you live in a small apartment or apartment with a living room of 7-13 square meters, buy a yas product, hang it on the living room wall, watch movies, listen to music, and the sound quality is still quite good. A quote from the official website explains this technology: “AIR SURROUND XTREME is different from other 2-channel home theater surround sound systems. In other virtual surround sound systems, you hear three channels of sound coming from the front. In fact, these sounds do not express the true surround effect. When you listen to Yamaha's front surround sound system, you can very realiy recognize the position of the surround sound, and you can hear the clear appearance of the dialogue from the center. Other surround sounds come from the front, both sides, and the back, and you'll be surrounded by smooth, plump surround sound. Yamaha has reached this developing new technology that shows 5-channel and 7-channel surround sound effects. In acoustic systems, without the need to use wall reflections, the key is to use 24kHz HRTF (pointing to the associated transmission function), this technology can create a clear and direct virtual sound source, resulting in a wide range of surround sound effects, sound powerful, sound localization And it's accurate. The effect of the surround is true." Of course, it is also suspected that the yas device can pass all 2-channel input through the soft The virtual way becomes 5.1 or 7.1, haha, if so, it is still a very black technology, I did not find the answer in this area, nor did I go to the Yamaha store for actual testing, just my delusions Only.
If you do not consider buying DVDs or downloading multi-channel high-definition movies at the same time, then the yas series products are suitable for you to start. We recommend that you purchase yas106 or above (yas106 is listed in 2016) and do not recommend purchasing more than 2,500 yuan. The product, the software is still the software, why spend too much money for a software.

YSP is the time I spent the longest research, studied the 1400, 1600, 2700 three (1400 was listed in 2014, 1600 and srt-1500 was listed in 2015, 2700 is listed in 2016), here have to Said that the 2700's 16 speakers, and standard with a wireless subwoofer, is indeed cool enough, look at the price, or give up, continue to study 1400 and 1600 these two models.
The biggest difference between the YSP1400 and the YSP1600 is that the former woofer is down, and the latter woofer is up. The latter also has an HDMI interface and WLan, which weighs 400 grams more than the former. The rest of the hardware configuration, exactly the same, eight 2.8cm array speakers, two 8.5cm woofer, the total power is 76W. YSP1600 is an upgraded version of YSP1400. YSP1600 is a castrated version of SRT1500. The essential difference between YSP1600 and SRT1500 is that the latter has two more front 4×10CM woofers than the former. The total power is increased to 136w, and the weight is heavier than YSP1600. 4.6Kg. YSP1600 is understood to be: wall-mounted digital sounder, SRT1500 is understood as: pedestal type digital sounder.
“Yamaha digital sound technology brings true (rather than virtual) surround sound to your home theater. Eight 2.8cm high-quality array loudspeakers form a sound beam and are digitally processed with precise time and direction control. Reflected from the wall, you are placed in the real surround sound. The position of the beam can be adjusted by the remote control or smart phone app, which brings true and wide sound effects. "It is based on this paragraph and gave up YAS. The series has confirmed its determination to purchase the ysp series.

When I used to read the phone on what day it was worth buying, I saw someone recommend the low price of SRT1500, so I quickly downloaded the new egg app, registered, placed an order, and paid for it. After 13 days, he finally sailed across the sea to reach peace. Of which more than 180 taxes, more than 300 freight, er, 500 yuan ah! Do not say, even if these all add together is also half cheaper than Ma Yunjia! Well, hurry to go to Ma Yunjia to buy transformers and Hdmi cables. Overseas, the voltage is 120V, two-phase plug, must use the converter.
After the hand is unpacked, the Tektronix video box is connected to the Hdmi In interface and the TV is connected to the Hdmi Out interface. Note: I use a network box to watch TV. If you have a PS or Xbox, and something like a cable set-top box needs to be connected, please buy a Hdmi distributor at Ma Yun Home, as it is a few times, depending on your individual needs. Come to choose.
The first time you turn on the computer, it is best to connect it through a wired network. After connecting the three cables, turn on the power, then press the HDMI button on the remote control board (indicating that the switch is connected to the HDMI interface). Use the remote control to open the menu and select the network upgrade. Firmware, this process is a little slow, I used about 35-40 minutes to complete the upgrade. When upgrading, the panel has indicators, please wait patiently. Note: I previously had a copy of the latest firmware version 2.84 file in the USB flash drive, the USB flash drive was inserted into the machine to boot upgrade, the result was unsuccessful, and later changed to network upgrade firmware.
After the system upgrade is complete, shut down and turn it on again. Open the menu and set the volume of left and right surround sound in the sound setting to +3 and bass volume to +1 (each person's hobby is different, please increase according to preferences and natural environment). Then turn on the vocal clarity feature and do it.
The machine's Chinese manual, before the machine came to hand, looked over and over. After the machine got it, each option went in and saw that no debugging was done at all. Connect the cable and you can begin to experience it.
In the network box, the hdmi setting PCM is changed to RAW. This means that no audio decoding is required for the box, and the source code is sent to the amplifier and decoded by the amplifier. Download multi-channel videos on the Internet, including MKV and AVI formats, Tektronix video can play MKV format files perfectly, the sound output is 3/2/0.1, this program does not recognize the AVI format because the box comes with Taijie video. The file, then installed MxPlayer to support ac3 and dts decoding, a test only to find that this software supports decoding, but does not support the sound source output, the sound is still 2 channel, very disappointed. Occasionally on the Internet and saw the introduction of Kodi this software, so quickly download the latest version 17.1, after installation, follow the instructions to change the Chinese menu, open the download of high-definition video, the sound is set to the source output to appear Caton, close the source The output is very smooth. I don't know what the reason is. Someone on the Internet is talking about this problem, but I haven't found any solutions yet. Wait for the new software to improve and update. At least I know the high-definition video in MKV format. Tai Jie video playback, it is quite cool, all of a sudden throw off the TV comes with speakers numerous streets. The old DVD player was found out, the sound was connected to the machine via fiber optic cable, the video was connected to the TV with the color difference output, and the “Fifth Elements†disc was thrown into the machine, and the video quickly advanced to the stage on the spaceship. The effect is prominent. Do not underestimate the shock this small machine brings to you. Although the volume and power of the audio unit are very small, the actual results often make us refreshing. As for movies played online, they are two-channel. As for the effect, it is definitely better than the TV's own speakers.
Music, tested overseas music purchasing back to the genuine CD catch wav and qq music inside the download MP3 two formats, testing with AirPlay and Bluetooth two ways to connect playback, the effect is very good! Use this speaker to play your favorite songs, and you can start your own cranky journey in a flash. When Bluetooth is connected, the ear is close to the speaker and there is no noise. If you do not play these lossless music, then you can completely connect the Bluetooth mobile phone, open QQ music software, online songs, the effect is really good, very good! In the Bluetooth connection state, there is no influence on the two walls.
As far as Yamaha's App (MusicCast CONTROLLER and HOME THEATER CONTROLLER) can only be used by MusicCast CONTROLLER, this is actually a control speaker that can play music or Internet radio through the Internet. There is also a function to modify the name of the device under AirPlay. The AirPlay connection shows SRT-1500 by default. Internet radio stations have been tested domestically, and are not connected for a long time. If it is an Android system, you can use this software to play wav files. I have not used this software to test flac and ape. If you are an Apple system, please directly use the AirPlay function to connect directly to the machine. The AirPlay connection is significantly louder than the Bluetooth connection.
By default, when the phone turns off Bluetooth, the SRT-1500 automatically shuts down. When the phone is turned on in standby mode, the machine is automatically awakened (the previous time it must be turned off in Bluetooth mode). You can also turn the HDMI control on (the default is off), that is, when you close the set-top box, the SRT-1500 automatically shuts down. AirPlay automatically wakes up and automatically turns this feature off and tested. If you use the AirPlay function to play, you must press the remote control board to switch to another play mode. In the case of accessing the network, you can use AirPlay to play music in any state.
This device without connection to the network, you can set up the machine network, to achieve automatic device through srt1500 built-in wifi connection, but it is of little significance, and now no one network, too lazy to study this feature set , directly connect a router with a network cable, or connect the wireless signal of the router.
If the above products are purchased overseas, please purchase the Blush Transformer 220v to the 110v low power 200w imported electrical socket at Ma Yun's home. It is really recommended and easy to use.
Finally, the time for this Yamaha SRT-1500 to score is:
Film: 9 points (The effect of the surround sound is not very satisfactory, so the points are deducted, but the bass, which isn't awkward, adds points to it, and finally decides to evaluate it with 9 points.)
Music: 10 points (total enjoyment of a private concert hall, full score!)
Cable TV set-top box broadcast news broadcast: 7 points (the effect is much stronger than the TV itself.)
The cable TV set-top box played the Central Five football live broadcast: 8 points (the voice of the commentary was particularly clear. After the goal, the cheers of the audience were very realistic and there was a sense of presence.)
The value of this Yamaha SRT-1500 I think (sound effects and less than the price of less than a thousand), I hope this article can solve your heart's confusion.
