All Around Sound

By Ed Arnold

All Around Sound
Surround sound, like High Definition, is all the rage right now in consumer electronics. People are closer to replicating the theater experience at home than ever before. But to replicate that sound, you need wires run and speakers mounted behind you and most homes aren’t suited for that.

Yamaha has come up with a solution to the problem. The YSP-4000 Soundbar ($1800) is a single long speaker and amplifier combination that contains tiny drivers throughout that point in various directions. When properly set up (easily done with an included microphone), the drivers bounce sound off various corners and walls in your room to produce surround sound similar to mounting big intrusive rear speakers. It contains an FM tuner and can also interface with your iPod and XM radio. Finally you can enjoy the sound from your favorite flicks without bulky speakers or obtrusive wires.
