Yamaha recently introduced the Yamaha YSP-800 digital sound projector, following the success of its two award-winning siblings, the Yamaha YSP-1 and the Yamaha YSP-1000. Sound & Vision, Popular Science, PC World, E-Gear, and Digital Entertainment Group were some of the patrons of the YSP series in 2005.

The Yamaha YSP Series provides true multi-channel surround sound from a single component, eliminating the need for multiple speakers and messy cables. They are a perfect fit with a plethora of TVs and Video monitors. The YSP-800 and YSP-1000 additionally come equipped with the IntelliBeam technology that improves overall acoustics.
