Yamaha YSP-1400 review

Yamaha's YSP-1400 Sound Projector delivers a bevy of features, an immersive soundstage, and great detail.

Yamaha’s YSP-1400 Sound Projector delivers a bevy of features, an immersive soundstage, and great detail. The audio settings are fully configurable, and the system offers a lot of punch, without the need for a subwoofer sidecar. The treble was a little...

Yamaha YSP-1400 review

Lots of sound bars promise to create "virtual" surround sound from a single speaker enclosure, but Yamaha's Digital Sound Projector line have historically been the only models that can actually do it well. It's an impressive feat, accomplished by...

The Yamaha YSP-1400 sound bar features the company's Digital Sound Projector technology that bounces sound off the walls in your room to create credible virtual surround sound. The system has built-in Bluetooth and an IR repeater, so it won't block...

Getting a true surround sound signal to the YSP-1400 can be difficult. While it does sound more spacious than a standard sound bar, it doesn't match the true virtual surround magic of Yamaha's pricier sound bars. And the lack of an external subwoofer...

Yamaha's YSP-1400 brings the company's Digital Sound Projector technology to a budget price point, but a couple of caveats keep it from being a standout sound bar.

Yamaha YSP-1400 Digital Sound Projector Review

The Yamaha YSP-1400 is attempting to bring Yamaha's vaunted "beaming" technology to the masses at an affordable price. While the price is fair, the performance isn't quite up to expectations.

App Control ; Enough inputs ; Subwoofer output ; Bluetooth works well ; IR Pass Through for Blocked TV IR Receivers

Sibilant ; Even in optimal room, surround effect unconvincing ; Wall mounting may look a little goofy ; Bass light ; Weak stereo separation

Yamaha YSP-1400

The YSP-1400 brings big sound to a smaller budget, delivering great value surround sound

Big, enveloping sound ; Detailed and dynamic ; Simple set-up ; Responsive app

Chunky design ; No HDMI input

If you’re after a big, enveloping sound but don’t have the space for several speakers dotted around your room, the YSP-1400 offers an experience that isn’t trumped until you spend quite a lot more.

Yamaha YSP-1400 Digital Sound Projector

The Yamaha YSP-1400 Digital Sound Projector provides respectable surround sound and plenty of volume, although with a prominent treble.

Good volume ; Decent bass for a unit sans subwoofer ; Remote control repeater function ; Bluetooth support, including app

Sound excessively bright

The Yamaha YSP-1400 Digital Sound Projector is a good unit, able to deliver content with power and some sense of surround sound and with respectable bass, all at a decent price. The nifty control app adds to the Bluetooth capabilities to make it very...
