Yamaha Introduces the True X Surround 90A Soundbar: A Revolution in Immersive Home Cinema Experience
Yamaha has unveiled its latest offering in the world of home cinema sound systems: the True X Surround 90A soundbar. This innovative soundbar system aims to redefine the standards of immersive audio, boasting a myriad of advanced features and improvements over previous models.
The True X Surround 90A houses an impressive array of 19 drivers, including 12 upward-firing beam speakers (six on each side) dedicated to creating precise height effects for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D. This extensive driver array produces a dense and immersive 3D sound field comparable to traditional ceiling speakers, offering a cinematic scale and immersion like never before.
The soundbar's new eye-shaped oval front speakers deliver clear, distortion-free midrange tones with powerful volume, despite the compact 71mm slim form factor. This design allows for a sleek, elegant presence without compromising sound quality.
The soundbar system also includes a wireless subwoofer with Symmetrical Flare Port technology, reducing port noise by up to 20 dB versus conventional designs. This results in deep, clear, and vibration-free bass that sets a new standard for the soundbar market.
Unlike typical stationary wireless surrounds, the included rear speakers have built-in rechargeable batteries and operate both wirelessly and via wired power. They can switch to standalone Bluetooth speakers through a one-touch Solo mode, enhancing versatility for multi-room audio or portability.
Yamaha's Surround:AI technology analyzes incoming sound in real-time, dynamically optimizing spatial sound elements like dialogue, music, and effects to deliver a more precise and lifelike immersive experience.
The True X Surround 90A offers comprehensive connectivity and integration, including HDMI eARC, optical inputs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, and support for streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. It also integrates with Yamaha’s MusicCast platform for multi-room audio and remote control via an app, including the ability to adjust sound beam angles and channel levels.
The system features a high build quality and design, with a rigid metal chassis, acoustically optimized grilles, large resin feet for vibration dampening, and a slim profile designed for elegant presence and flexible placement with wall-mount options.
Positioned as Yamaha's flagship Atmos soundbar, the True X Surround 90A surpasses earlier Yamaha models with a much larger number of upward-firing drivers, enhanced AI-driven spatial processing, the unique portable wireless surround speakers, and advanced subwoofer improvements.
Pricing and availability for the True X Surround 90A are yet to be confirmed, with a September release date in mind. The soundbar system puts it in the same range as the Sonos Arc Ultra Immersive set and Sony's Bravia Theatre Bar 9 with the optional subwoofer and surround speakers.
In summary, the True X Surround 90A combines advanced speaker architecture, smart AI sound optimization, a refined bass system, and portable wireless surrounds to deliver one of Yamaha’s most immersive, flexible, and high-performance Dolby Atmos soundbar experiences to date.
