Yamaha Bows $2,500 Flagship Subwoofer With Noise Reduction Design

Yamaha introduced its 2015 flagship subwoofer that will ship next month at $2,499. The NS-SW1000 1,000-watt sub includes Yamaha’s Twisted Flare Port that's said to deliver a flow of air to reduce extraneous noise and achieve the intended tuning of the subwoofer enclosure, it said. The subwoofer's three-way mitered construction is said to ensure tight joints resulting in accurate bass reproduction without vibration. The NS-SW1000s has a 12-inch driver and an automatic shut-off feature that kicks in after the unit doesn’t see a signal for a period of time, said the company.
