Yamaha YAS-109 review

The 2.0-channel device has output power of 60W. For the formation of surround sound in the soundbar provides DTS Virtual: X technology. With its help, the soundtrack of films becomes fascinating and dynamic, with a wide distribution of images in all directions. Available on Yamaha YAS-109 and Dolby Digital Decoder. For additional sound processing in the Yamaha YAS-109, you can use the DSP, which has several modes of operation. With Clear Voice technology, you can get the most articulated and natural dialogue transmission. Yamaha YAS-109

Yamaha YAS-109 pros & cons

Pros

  • Surprisingly, under a metal RV port 24' x 40' with 15' ceiling, there is no problem hearing the music clearly
  • Having Alexa in the unit (works only with internet connection), it's nice to get updates, change the music selection all with voice control

Cons

  • Alexa suddenly stopped working without explanation and there's no troubleshooting available for that
