I would "not" buy this again

Very disappointed in the NS-SW300. Bought it because of the price point, the Yamaha name and the many good reviews. Had this for about a year and a half and it stopped.working. It was still under warranty so it was sent back for repair. It lasted for about another 2 years under rare usage and then has just recently quit working again. Seemingly the same problem as the first time. Very frustrated with the quality of the electronics in this NS-SW300. The amp inside the sub does not seem to be activating when turned on. Very poor investment. Beware this sub is not worth the money.

Subwoofer rocks!!!

Worth it. I bought it to supplement my ysp-5600 and it looks the part and sounds just as amazing. Clean punchy bass.

Power, clarity and aesthetics!

This is an excellent piece of equipment. It has it all - powerful bass, clarity even at very low frequencies, aesthetics in gloss black finish that fit in to any modern decor and then then some. The sound output is enough to shake the neighbourhood to its core even at half volume setting. The price is very reasonable considering the quality. In fact, this woofer is so good, I had to buy a 2nd one to give my media centre even more bass and finish off the look. Only wish Yamaha priced their amps more reasonably as I had to opt for a Marantz which is also excellent.

Not for the feint of heart

I live in an apartment building with three other apartments. At 50% volume, this thing shakes the entire building. I didn't have the guts to go any higher. And the sound is very clear, no distortion. I just hope it doesn't bust out my windows. The entire neighborhood knows I watched Mad Max this afternoon. Note that it's deceptively big. You know when you see people playing chess in the park, and they're sitting on those little concrete cubes by the permanent chess table? It's that big. A grown man can sit on it and be comfortable. Ensure you have room for it. My only beef is that it didn't come with an audio cable. Come on, Yamaha, throw in a 10 dollar cable. I didn't get home with this thing until after 10 PM and was disappointed that I couldn't wake my neighbors until the next night.

Great subwoofer

I use it in my home cinema system. It looks great and provides some thundering depth to movie tracks.

Powerful Bass

Piano black finish is very elegant to match with other furniture. But it requires frequent clean-up of the dust on its high gloss piano black surface. The bass output is very powerful at 250W. It is very convenient to operate as the main on/off and volume switches are on the front/side panel (not on the back).

Simply astounding!

Yamaha achieved the perfect balance between Power, value and aesthetics. Contenders like Velodyne and Bower & Wilkins should respect this engineering. Highly recommended!

Sound, Design, Operation. All Beautiful
Introducing Yamaha's completely and beautifully evolved new subwoofer. With a gentle curve in the front and piano black finish the unit has a beautiful appearance. But the beauty of this subwoofer goes beyond that. It offers clear bass sound produced by the Twisted Flare Port, a new Yamaha technology. Superior convenience allows easy operation using the front buttons, which are laid out diagonally.

New Twisted Flare Port Produces Clear And Tight Bass
The all-new Twisted Flare Port takes advantage of extensive subwoofer development experience. Compared to a conventional port, the Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise, contributing to clear and accurate low frequency reproduction. The flared and gently twisted shape evenly diffuses the air flow through the port. From special effect sounds in movies to the atmosphere of a live venue, you hear bass that is clear, tight and realistic.

PWM Digital Drive High Efficiency Amplifier And Dual Feedback Circuit
The built-in power amplifier delivers stable power output of 250 W with high efficiency while minimizing power consumption and heat production. It does not require an output filter coil, resulting in extremely low noise and distortion. High speed transient response is also excellent. The dual feedback circuit reduces distortion by applying feedback twice, resulting in higher sound clarity.

Advanced YST II For Awesome Deep Bass
Developed by Yamaha, the Advanced YST II (Yamaha Active Servo Technology II) combines negative-impedance and constant-current principles to drive the speaker cone with even tighter control than the previous version. Using advanced negative impedance converter (ANIC) circuits, this system dynamically optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain excellent linearity. This means more stable and accurate low range response, not to mention higher sound quality.

10" Cone Woofer Unit With Square Wire
A 10" large woofer unit is used in a front-firing configuration. The voice coil of the driver unit employs square wire with a wide surface area that can be wound more densely to obtain higher magnetic flux density. It delivers high drive force, permitting tight and deep bass reproduction.

Beautiful Design That Will Match A Wide Range of Speakers And Interiors
In addition to the beautifully round shape of the front surface, panels on both sides to create an accent and a neat appearance, this subwoofer lets you imagine the strength of sound and matches a wide range of speaker systems.

Front Control Panel For Easy Operation
The power and volume buttons, which are used most often, are laid out on the front surface of the unit for ease of access. It is inclined at an angle of 45deg., making it easy to use even when placed on the floor. An LED indicator is above the power button, so even in a dimly lit room it's easy to tell if it's on or off.

System Control And Auto Standby
The system control terminal can be linked to the amplifier power to automatically turn the power on and off. There is also an auto standby function, if no signal is input from the amplifier for a fixed period, it automatically switches to the standby state and when a signal from the amplifier is detected, power turns on automatically. This limits the wasteful consumption of electricity.

Other Notable Features
• Low standby power consumption of 0.3 W
• Auto standby switch / sensitivity selector (high, low and off)
• Phase control (normal or reverse)
• B.A.S.S. (Bass Action Selector System) switch

Twisted Flare Port
Compared to a conventional port, the Twisted Flare Port reduces air turbulence noise, contributing to clear and accurate low frequency reproduction. The flared and gently twisted shape evenly diffuses the air flow through the port.

Advanced YST
Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (Advanced YST) is a unique system in which the speaker and amplifier work together to cancel out impedance so the speaker unit has a perfectly linear motion. Advanced YST helps to ensure the highest levels of sound pressure and overall performance.
