Subwoofer Yamaha NS-SW100 Black
Description
Active subwoofer with Twisted Flare Port technology and a 25 cm driver for accurate, controlled bass
The NS-SW100 is an active subwoofer designed to extend the low-frequency range of both home cinema and music systems. It combines the Twisted Flare Port, Advanced YST II (Yamaha Active Servo Technology II) and a 25 cm (10") cone woofer driven by a discrete amplifier circuit. The result is deep, articulate bass that blends seamlessly with the main speakers without losing control.
The Twisted Flare Port bass reflex port has a flared, gently twisted shape that disperses the air vortices forming at the edge of the opening. Airflow therefore remains smoother and noise not present in the original signal is reduced. The Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuitry within Advanced YST II combines the principles of negative impedance and constant current, dynamically optimising the driver's effective impedance and maintaining linear response.
Tighter control over cone movement translates into more stable and more accurate bass with faster settling, improving the definition of low notes in both film effects and the reproduction of musical instruments. The frequency range of 25–180 Hz, 100 W dynamic power (5 ohms) and 50 W output power (100 Hz, 5 ohms, 10 % THD) suit use in living rooms and small to medium home cinemas.
The cabinet with rounded edges and a slanted front baffle measures 351 x 352 x 408 mm and weighs 12 kg, so it stays discreet even in a living space. It is available in black, walnut and white finishes, allowing it to be matched with existing speakers.

Yamaha
Yamaha is one of the few hi-fi manufacturers that also builds concert grand pianos and wind instruments. When developing an amplifier or a speaker system, therefore, it does not have to guess what a real instrument should sound like, as it has one to hand and can compare the sound to it. This forms the basis of a principle the brand has adhered to since the 1970s, known as ‘Natural Sound’: sound without embellishment and without any inherent colouration. In 1974, this principle was established by the NS-1000 loudspeakers with beryllium drivers, and ever since it has guided everything Yamaha produces for home listening, from turntables and amplifiers right through to AV receivers and wireless systems. Anyone looking for a sound that neither enhances nor embellishes a recording in any way will find exactly that with Yamaha.
