Active wireless Hi-Fi with YPAO™ and TV connectivity
NX-70A is a pair of Yamaha active wireless speakers with built-in amplification, MusicCast, YPAO™ calibration, HDMI eARC and an inter-speaker connection that can also use a LAN cable.
The system houses network sources, conversion, amplification and loudspeakers within the two speakers as one integrated design. The units can communicate wirelessly or via LAN; HDMI eARC integrates the television, while the RCA subwoofer output allows the low-frequency range to be extended with an active subwoofer.
Key features
- Harmonious Diaphragm™ in PBO ZYLON™ and spruce for tonal consistency.
- Synergistic Drive™ integrates electronics and loudspeakers as a single system.
- YPAO™ R.S.C. with Precision EQ to adapt the response to the room.
- MusicCast, Spotify Connect, Google Cast, AirPlay, TIDAL Connect and Roon Ready.
- HDMI eARC/ARC with CEC for connection to the television.
- Wireless or LAN-cable connection between the left and right speakers.
- RCA subwoofer output for an active subwoofer.
- 5 mm aluminium top plate and rounded cabinet.
Harmonious Diaphragm™
The diaphragm combines PBO ZYLON™, a material with high sound propagation speed, with spruce, a wood also used in Yamaha piano soundboards. The blend is designed to keep timbre consistent across different parts of the spectrum and make the transition between drivers sound more natural.
Synergistic Drive™
Amplification, conversion and loudspeakers are not treated as independent elements. Synergistic Drive™ allows drive characteristics to be optimised with exact knowledge of the behaviour of the drivers and integrated electronics, with particular attention to dynamic response, precision and continuity of reproduction.
YPAO™ and the room
YPAO™ R.S.C. measures the response in the room and corrects the effects of reflections, while Precision EQ completes the adjustment with finer intervention. Calibration therefore adapts the system to the actual speaker positions and to the characteristics of the environment in which they are used.
Connection between the speakers
The left and right units can communicate wirelessly, but Yamaha also provides a physical connection using a LAN cable. This alternative allows a wired link between the two speakers when required by the installation, without giving up the active and integrated architecture of the pair.
TV and subwoofer
HDMI eARC/ARC allows NX-70A to be used with a television, while CEC support coordinates compatible functions. An RCA subwoofer output is also provided, so an active subwoofer can be added to the stereo system to extend low-frequency response without replacing the two main speakers.
MusicCast and streaming
MusicCast manages network playback and multi-room audio alongside Spotify Connect, Google Cast, AirPlay and TIDAL Connect. Roon Ready compatibility extends digital library management, while the Yamaha app brings together source selection, volume and the main network functions.
