Designed - as with previous sound bars - to replace a surround-sound setup in a space-limited environment, the YAS-101 sits in front of the TV and provides a dual-driver speaker design with a built-in 60W subwoofer.
It's Yamaha's Air Surround Xtreme technology where things get interesting, however: the company claims that, with some clever internal processing, the YAS-101 can replicate a full 7.1-channel surround-sound setup, despite having no side or rear speakers, with full Dolby Digital and DTS decoding supported.
"Yamaha introduced the sound bar category in 2005," explained the company's president Tom Sumner. "With each model we've introduced, we have offered consumers the benefit of our unique understanding of sound and audio, including extensive input from our pro audio and musical instrument product companies. With the YAS-101, we are able to give customers an incredible audio experience, as well as simple set up and installation at an unprecedented price. This is the ideal entry point for anyone interested in stepping up to a serious sound bar solution."
The sound bar includes its own remote control, or can learn commands from a TV's remote - and includes a system for passing infra-red commands 'through' the device, meaning it should never block the control of the TV itself.
The YAS-101 is available now, priced at around £220.
