July 22, 2001Drawing on years of experience as a designer and manufacturer of
speaker systems, Yamaha Corporation of America, Professional Audio, will debut the newest
addition to its line of near-field monitors, the MSP3, at Summer NAMM 2001. Engineered for today's multimedia
environments, the MSP3 utilizes many of the same technologies found in Yamaha's professional level monitor
systems, the MSP5 and MSP10.
This two-way powered speaker system is designed to provide
high quality monitoring for the home studio, computer-based
recording and educational markets, as well as personal
computers, gaming systems and music keyboards without
integrated speakers.
"The phenomenon of home and computer-based recording
prompted Yamaha to develop a powered monitor that would be a
professional alternative to traditional multimedia speaker
systems," states Wayne Hrabak, Pro Audio marketing manager,
Pro Audio & Combo Division.
The MSP3 features a 4-in. woofer housed in a bass reflex design
cabinet, reproducing a surprisingly tight low end. A 3/4-in. dome
tweeter provides a smooth, high frequency response to beyond
20 kHz. Internally powered, the MSP3 provides 20W of output
power.
To add to their flexibility, Yamaha has included two signal inputs,
with balanced XLR connectors, 1/4-in. phone jacks and RCA
connectors on each speaker. In addition, each MSP3 has trim
switches that allow users to custom-tailor both low and high
frequency response of the speaker to suit different applications,
allowing the monitors to be easily and optimally installed in a
wide range of environments. Full magnetic shielding allows the
MSP3 system to be positioned near sensitive recording
equipment and media.
"Drawing on the recent success of the Yamaha MSP5 and
MSP10 systems, Yamaha has gone a step further, and has met
the market request for quality, reasonably priced powered
monitors," adds John Schauer, Pro Audio product manager. "The MSP3s deliver that combination of high
performance, versatility and cost-effectiveness." For more information, visit their web site at www.yamaha.com. |
