The new model handles a maximum power of 1,100 W. It suits mobile use by musicians and DJs, as well as fixed installations in different venues. The speaker uses Yamaha's 10-inch woofer and a 1.75-inch compression tweeter with a polyimide diaphragm. Symmetrical cone movement provides linear bass reproduction, while the high-frequency design eliminates audible distortion. A key feature is software integration: Yamaha PX-series power amplifiers with firmware V1.66 or later provide precise presets that improve clarity, headroom and overall system efficiency.
