Natural Wood Cabinets

Three-Way Mitered Construction

Yamaha speakers have featured 45° mitered-joint
construction at the cabinet corners and baffle/body
joints for many years. On the HX Series, mitered
construction is also used for the back panel,
improving the tightness of the joints so that the entire
cabinet behaves as a single rigid
body. This reduces unwanted
vibration and helps realize the three
key elements of ideal home theater
sound.

25mm (1") Baffle Board

Exceptionally thick, 25mm (1") baffle board is used in
HX Series speakers* to further reduce unwanted
vibration.

* Except NS-2HX speakers, which feature 15mm

(5/8") baffle boards.

Canadian Maple Venner Cabinets with Piano-Type
Open-Pore Finish

Canadian maple hardwood cabinets are given the
same luxurious and environmentally friendly (non-
PVC) finish used on Yamaha’s finest wood-grain
pianos. 

Bi-Wiring Connectivity

Signal integrity is enhanced by a bi-
wiring system that provides separate
+/- connection terminals for the
woofer(s) and tweeterother driver(s).

The result is decreased modulation distortion for
purer sound quality.

Aluminum Diecast Stands

NS-8HX and NS-6HX tower speakers are equipped
with heavy-duty aluminum diecast stands that
provide solid floor contact for accurate sound
reproduction. The stands also feature a high-quality
finish that nicely
complements the
speakers' elegant
design.

Yamaha’s Exclusive Three-Way Mitered Construction Produces
Strong, Sturdy Cabinets with Minimum Resonance.

Yamaha's exclusive three-way mitered construction

significantly improves the durability and precision of

panel joints in HX Series cabinets. The cabinets resist

deformation over time, and their precise construction

suppresses unwanted resonance when speakers are

played at high volume. Three-way mitering requires

advanced production technology and rigorous quality

control _ particularly when manufacturing compact

cabinets _ and these are areas in which Yamaha has

extensive expertise. In addition, our long experience as a

monitor speaker manufacturer assures a high standard of

woodworking excellence.
