For over a century, Yamaha has been advancing the art and science of reproducing sound, and enriching the lives of millions around the world. Not only do they produce consumer electronics, but also this mega-corporation produces motorcycles, ATV's, professional musical instruments and recording gear to name a few. One of Yamaha's outstanding advantages is that we develop and produce our own microprocessors. Technological resources like these are why our products continue to set the standard for performance and quality. Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP) is a Yamaha innovation that has opened a new chapter in the history of audio. Instead of having to go to a performance venue to experience the actual acoustic environment, you can now stay home and hear the same or even better sound. This is an entirely new listening experience that only Yamaha can bring you. Using special single-point quad microphones to measure acoustic data, Yamaha engineers have been able develop the world�s first sound field processor with the ability to store digital data on the acoustic conditions of concert halls, cathedrals, movie palaces, and other environments and reproduce these conditions in ordinary listening rooms. Dolby Stereo used in large movie theaters was the basis for Yamaha's next technological breakthrough in home theater sound. Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces a surround sound environment by projecting dialogue straight from the front while music and sound effects come from the back and sides of the listening area. By combining this Dolby technique with its own DSP technology, Yamaha was able to achieve a further breakthrough that we call Cinema DSP. This new technology achieved what was long believed to be impossible: an enveloping surround sound that brought the ambience of a movie theater to an ordinary listening room.
