Yamaha DSP-Z7 & Monitor Audio RX1 AV

The best A/V speaker systems demand exceptional performance from every component. The strength of RX series design and engineering makes it easy to assemble a high quality five or seven channel loudspeaker system that’s perfect for any room. Sharing driver, crossover and cabinet technologies, the RX speakers will provide exceptional tonal accuracy, transparency and wide bandwidth response in any combination, transcending the experience of sound through two channels to generate a tangible sense of ‘being there’. The ideal RX1 multi-channel system utilises RX1s and the RX Centre for the front channels, with the discreet RXFX speakers in the surround role; all underpinned by the awesome RXW-12 subwoofer. RX1AV is a jewel of a system, ideal for medium sized rooms. Its compact beauty will enhance any décor, but when the lights go down the engineering takes over: a wonderfully dynamic and synthesised surround sound field will draw the entire family into the action. Its incredibly natural focus, dimension and speed will make the room seem to disappear!

The Yamaha DSP-Z7 is an awesome demonstration of AV Amplifier possibilities, with five HDMI inputs and two outputs, enhanced Adaptive DRC, advanced video processing, multi-zone custom installation facilities and Network Receiver functionality.

The role of a centre-channel speaker is to reproduce up to 60% of a movie soundtrack, including the critical dialogue content, yet by the sound of some rival systems, surprisingly little time is devoted to its design. The exceptional RX Centre proves the old adage that you get out what you put in. It’s been very finely calibrated to match the dynamics and timbre of other RX speakers for a wonderfully open, detailed and seamless front sound stage in any RX system configuration. We’ve tuned the RX Centre’s multi-driver components to deliver the optimal combination of sonic virtue and size, so that the velvet subtlety of whispers and the explosive force of action scenes are conveyed with equal priority by a compact design that’s perfect for the role.

It’s widely understood that the sound of surround TVs cannot compete with the excitement of a properly designed and equalised home theatre system. But great sound comes at the expense of living space…until now. The wall-hugging RX-FX surround speaker reconciles the problem by providing a convincing, enveloping timbre-consistent surround sound that places you on the edge of your seat and at the heart of the action. Discreet enough to be flush-mounted on side or rear walls, the RX-FX design will blend with the system and your décor so completely you’ll wonder why you ever thought of compromise. It’s also immensely flexible sonically, offering direct or diffuse sound effects at the flick of a switch.

For its success a multi-channel film sound mix relies on the profound structural underlay of a properly designed sub-bass engine. Not only can it dredge frighteningly deep and dramatic frequencies from the mix, especially from HD audio soundtracks, it also adds a holistic solidity to the sound, helping you to suspend your disbelief: a vital component in the enjoyment of surround sound A/V systems. The surprisingly compact RXW-12 active subwoofer is equipped by our engineers to turn your RX system (and others) truly seismic.

Using the latest switch mode power conversion techniques, the RXW-12’s new 500 watt Class D amplifier provides enough power to control with brutal efficiency a newly designed, 12” C-CAM driver, which is equipped with a double stack (two magnet) motor system and a massive 3” voice coil.

The RXW-12’s rigid, sealed 25mm (1”) MDF enclosure is front-loaded firstly because it promotes the fastest, deepest bass down to 20Hz and secondly for ease of installation. Wherever you place it, top mounted controls are provided for the fine adjustment of level, turnover and other parameters at the sub. For added convenience, a 12V trigger provides power syncing with your AV receiver.
