superior to Class D and Class H power amplifiers.
Professionals know that harmonics emitted from the
semiconductor during high-power operations can not only
impair sound quality, but also can cause peripheral devices to
malfunction. Yamaha has devised a complete strategy to combat

amplifiers. This system offers

requires driving at the

resulting in a great deal of

Various methods have been developed to overcome this
drawback in Class AB systems. Class H and Class D are typical of
these developments, but they have their problems as well.

EEEngine overcomes these problem spots while providing

advantages in all areas, offering a dramatic leap in power
amplifier design. It realizes efficiency that matches Class D
without compromising the sound quality of a Class AB
amplifier. Furthermore, EEEngine solves all of the problems of
weight, size, and heat generation that users of large-output
power amplifiers often encounter.
EEEngine tracks the audio signal to always provide the
minimum power needed for the final output stage, allowing
for surprising improvement in efficiency. It utilizes Class D
operation to provide the power at the final output stage of
Class AB operation. Almost all of the current energy is
outputted as the audio signal, and just a small fraction of the
remaining energy is emitted as heat dissipation through the
heat sink.
With the final output stage operating at Class AB, the output
signal is of remarkably high sound quality. The signal remains
analog from input to output, without being converted to a
PWM signal. There is none of the deterioration of frequency
response and damping factor found with Class D systems. Plus,

Voltage Switching - Class H

without sacrificing the sound quality demanded of a

Class H uses a method that switches the voltage level

according to the input signal. This can vastly improve output
stage heat dissipation when driving with a small signal at low
power source. However, as the signal level increases, the system
functions in the same way as a Class AB system, and efficiency
is lost. Class H is not intended for music signals with wide
dynamic ranges. A system

EEEngine

Class D systems utilize PWM. First, a PWM signal is created

from the inputted audio signal. Voltage is then switched
accordingly, and a high-power PWM signal is created to drive
the speaker. The elements used for the switching operation
require only a minimum of voltage, making efficiency
outstanding. However, to convert the audio signal to a
rectangular wave PWM signal, a high power consuming lowpass filter must be used at the output stage to eliminate pulse,
or the original audio signal cannot be recovered. The audio
signals frequency response, distortion, and damping factor are
worsened in this low-pass filter environment. Also, PWM
signals at high power also have the side effect of emitting

Keeps up with sharp increases in sound

EEEngines auxiliary power supply works with the main power
supply to always drive at just the right power current to obtain
maximum output, providing a high following capability even
when there are steep increases in sound. This reduces power
consumption while maintaining the special features of a fast
amp. Plus, even when

PC9501N / PC6501N / PC4801N / PC3301N / PC2001N

Our flagship series boasts top-quality sound and tremendous
power. Thorough verification of circuits and internal components
with carefully selected and tested parts result in superior sound
balance and excellent tonal quality with full separation.
The highly reliable power supply unit maintains clear and
powerful sound even when power supply conditions become
unfavorable. The protection circuits and large-surface area heat
sinks also provide outstanding stability.
Utilization of EEEngine, Yamahas exclusive high-efficiency
amplifier driving technology, has reduced power consumption by
approximately 50% compared to Class AB amplifiers (based on
our own tests). Even compared to standard Class D and Class H
amplifiers, power consumption is remarkably less; all without
compromising on performance.
All models are 2U size, from the PC9501N, which achieves

thunderously large 925W+925W US120V output, to the highlymanageable 200W+200W PC2001N. The five-model lineup offers
a wealth of output variations, allowing you to select the model
that best suits your performance needs.
With the ACU16-C amplifier control unit (sold separately), you
can connect an external PC to use both as a remote control and
operation status monitor. When the control unit is used in
conjunction with the NHB32-C network hub bridge, you can
construct an audio/control network.
To meet a range of needs from permanent installation through
to sound reinforcement, the series features a wide array of
input/output terminals including XLR, Euro-block, and Speakon.
Series models are also equipped with a 20Hz sub-sonic filter.
The series uses lead-free parts and is environmentally friendly.

P7000S / P5000S / P3500S / P2500S

This is our cost-effective standard series which offers topquality sound with reduced power consumption. It is a direct
descendant of the top-of-the-line PC-1N series. It provides both
powerful and fantastically clear sound.
The series features EEEngine technology for operations with
renowned efficiency. The newly-installed MOSFET (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) within the current buffer
unit cuts power consumption by approximately 50% (based on
our own tests).
There are four models in the series, everything from high
power units to more easily managed ones. All have a common
2U shell. These models respond to a wide variety of needs,
everything from live performance sound reinforcement that
requires large output, through to small-scale sound
reinforcement and audio installation use.

All models are capable of actual driving at a 2 ohms load. They

can handle the intense strain of parallel speakers with ease.
All models are designed for durability. They have heavy-duty rack
mount ears, large-surface area heat sinks, and through-hole soldering.
The high-powered P7000S and P5000S models also feature
highly efficient current switching, allowing for a much lighter
chassis and stable power supply that does not sacrifice sound even
during large output. These models offer total reliability.
All models are equipped with two types of input terminal (XLR,
phone) and three types of output terminal (5-way binding post,
Speakon, phone). These allow compatibility with a wide range of
applications.
All models feature low and high-cut frequency modulation
filters that allow for easy construction of subwoofer systems. They
also have a YS Processing switch that optimizes operation for
Concert Club speakers.

Installation Series Loudspeakers

Eliminates dips caused by cluster setup phase shifts
The ultimate speaker system for fixed installation in halls and places of worship
Typically, to create fixed speaker systems that deliver
sufficient sound to wide areas, various types of speaker
systems are assembled to create a speaker cluster. However,
phase shifts resulting from differences in orientation and unit
construction often lead to dip problems. These are brought
about by interference from changes in tonal color and
overlaps within each area. In an effort to combat such
problems, Yamaha designed and developed its Installation
Series. Between each model and each unit, and for
orientation, biamp driving, and single amp driving within the
network, this series was designed and developed aiming for
phase shift within 90 degrees at 2kHz. Even when operation
consists of single amp driving of small-diameter woofers with
wide orientation within near fields, and biamp driving of
larger speakers with narrower orientation for far fields, this

method connects smoothly and seamlessly in marginal zones.

This means we have been able to create a true array superior
to all clusters previously developed.
The lineup features ten models: the IF2115 and IF2112,
multi-purpose high output 2-way full-range speakers; the
IF2115/AS and IF2112/AS that are equipped with an
asymmetrical horn that provides full far and near coverage
with a single horn; the IF2208 and IF2108, multi-purpose 2way full-range speakers featuring 8-inch woofers; the IF2205,
a 2-way full-range speaker equipped with two 5.25 horns
and stair-step design; and the subwoofers, the 15 dual
IS1215, the 18 single IS1118, and the 18 dual IS1218. Each is
available in black or white, allowing full flexibility for your
installation needs. Plus, the wealth of accessories promises a
wide variety of applications at installation.
