The total sound power of the YSP-5600 amplifiers is 128 W, of which 88 W account for the main emitters and 40 W for the bass drivers. The Yamaha YSP-5600 is a soundbar with a sound projector function that supports the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS: X audio formats. The column is made in a minimalist design, all emitters are behind a metal protective mesh, and the case has a black finish. In the middle of the front grid, at the bottom, there is a simple display that shows the selected input, set volume level and DSP mode. On the left there are LED indicators showing the status of the system and the connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
