In 1988, Yamaha brought to the speaker systems utilizing

YST (Yamaha Active Servo Technology) to give powerful,

high quality bass reproduction. This technology uses a

direct connection between the amplifier and speaker,

allowing accurate signal transmission and precise speaker

As this technology uses speaker units controlled by the

negative impedance drive of the amplifier and resonance

generated between the cabinet capacity volume and port, it

creates more resonant energy (the “air woofer” concept)

than the standard bass reflex method. This allows for bass

reproduction from much smaller cabinets than was

previously possible.

Yamaha’s newly developed Advanced YST II adds many

refinements to Yamaha Active Servo Technology,

allowing better control of the forces driving the amplifier

and speaker. From the amplifier’s point of view, the

speaker impedance changes depending on the sound

frequency. Yamaha developed a new circuit design

combining negative-impedance and constant-current

drives, which provides a more stable performance and

clear bass reproduction without any murkiness.
