"Yamaha has been selling home audio products for 72 years. AND they invented the soundbar!
While the company was founded in 1887 as a musical instrument manufacturer, its dedicated journey into home audio began in the mid-20th century.
Key Milestones in Yamaha Audio
* 1954: The Beginning. Yamaha released its first high-fidelity audio product, the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player. This record player is widely cited as the first audio component to actually use the term "Hi-Fi" in its product name.
* 1967: "Natural Sound" Speakers. Yamaha introduced the NS-20 and NS-30 speakers. The "NS" stood for "Natural Sound," a philosophy based on their experience making piano soundboards, which remains a core branding element today.
* 1972–1974: The Golden Era of Hi-Fi. Yamaha expanded into full component systems, releasing the 700 series (amplifiers, tuners, and cassette decks). In 1974, they released the legendary NS-1000M speakers, which used the world's first pure beryllium diaphragms and are still highly sought after by collectors.
* 1982–1986: Digital & Surround Sound. Yamaha was at the forefront of the digital revolution, releasing the CD-1 (their first CD player) in 1982 and the DSP-1 in 1986, which pioneered digital sound field processing for home theaters.
* 2004–Present: Modern Innovation. Yamaha introduced the world's first "Digital Sound Projector" (the YSP-1 soundbar) in 2004, essentially creating the modern soundbar category.
Today, Yamaha remains one of the few companies that manages the entire "sound chain"—from manufacturing the instruments used to create music to the professional studio gear used to record it, and finally the home audio systems used to play it back."
