Compact and discreet, yet introducing technologies never before seen in any Bowers & Wilkins speaker, PM1 produces a sound so refined that everything else suddenly seems insignificant.
PM1 is a compact loudspeaker that offers an extremely high-quality performance. It features a new tweeter design, and a cabinet unlike anything previously constructed by Bowers & Wilkins.
You might imagine that any changes made in the frequency range above the limits of human hearing shouldn’t effect the sound we hear. And yet our experiments with diamond tweeters proved otherwise. By raising the break-up frequency far beyond the audible threshold of 20kHz, we created a tweeter that sounded far truer and more natural. With a break-up frequency of 30kHz, our aluminium dome tweeters already operate above the audible range. But inspired by diamond, we wanted to see if we could do even better for the PM1.
The result is an entirely new type of tweeter dome. By bracing the dome with a ring of filament-wound carbon fibre, we’ve raised the break-up frequency of aluminium to 40kHz. As a result, the PM1 features the sweetest-sounding aluminium dome tweeter we’ve yet produced.
At Bowers & Wilkins we understand that for many people audio quality isn’t the only consideration when deciding upon a loudspeaker. And while we would never place design considerations above acoustics, we appreciate that the look and feel of a loudspeaker is important. But we don’t need to explain ourselves; one look at the PM1 should be all you need to understand.
The Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter on top, the curved baffle, the Kevlar drive unit, are all included for technological, audio-related reasons. But they also come together visually, to create an aesthetically pleasing whole. Add to that the Mocha Gloss wood panels and matching stand, and we’re confident that the PM1 is not only the most refined sounding small speaker we have ever produced. It’s also one of the most desirable.
We have some great products to make your festive season even more spectacular.

The desire to have a central AV system with audio and video available in additional rooms is a highly requested feature by today’s consumers. The RSP-1572 provides three additional zone outputs for composite video and analog audio. Zone control includes source selection, volume and on/off. The RSP-1572 front panel display shows current source, volume and DSP mode. The OSD (On Screen Display) is available for customer setup using the HDMI, Component, or Composite main video outputs. Remote control zone operation can be utilized by purchasing optional RS-232 touchpads by companies such as Crestron and RTI, or most IR based keypad systems.
The AVENTAGE series is defined by an obsession with details: Yamaha’s R&D team takes a granular look at every design aspect—circuitry, construction, components, volume and sound reproduction qualities—to achieve the purest, best-sounding audio and the best video reproduction possible. Featuring hand-picked components that are continually evaluated and tested for peak performance, this first update to the AVENTAGE series pushes the best sounding, mid-priced receiver to dramatic new heights. Key performance, networking and control specifications offered on select AVENTAGE receivers last year are now available on every model in the series. These include expanded network set up and control capabilities, convenient front panel direct USB digital connections for iPhone/iPad, as well as iPhone A/V system control app compatibility—a feature Yamaha was first to bring to market in 2009. Yamaha will again set the pace in A/V system control when it unveils a similar control app for Android devices this coming Fall. “Our AVENTAGE A/V Receiver series embodies a meticulous design process, in which we refine and re-engineer all key components of each model to deliver superior sound and video,” said Tom Sumner, President, Yamaha Electronics Corporation. “In these latest offerings, we have added more performance and control capabilities, as well as unprecedented value, that clearly exhibits Yamaha’s leadership among A/V receiver manufacturers.”
Other features offered across the new line of AVENTAGE receivers include HD Audio decoding, HDMI with 3D and A.R.C. (Audio Return Channel) and front panel HDMI inputs. Leading the Pack of High Performance, Mid-Priced Receivers The RX-A3010 and RX-A2010 are the first 9.2 channel models in the AVENTAGE line, and enable the integration of front virtual presence speakers in a single zone or stereo audio in an additional zone. The RX-A3010 also offers Yamaha’s proprietary CINEMA DSP HD3 that expands the sound field vertically for the most realistic surround sound available in a home theater receiver. The substantial high-end look and feel of these models go far beyond esthetics, to deliver unprecedented sound quality in their price category. The specially designed signature 5th foot at the bottom of each model improves structural rigidity, which reduces vibration that can cause distortion and audibly improves sound quality. Yamaha also incorporated double-bottom construction on select models to improve peak performance at any volume level. The innovative design also provides immediate thermal feedback to the units’ transistors to eliminate harmonic distortion over the course of operation. All components, including wires, fuses and electrical paths, were rethought and redesigned to create works of visual and acoustic art for the home.
The advanced networking control functions introduced in select models of the original AVENTAGE line are now present in all five models of the new line. This provides seamless integration with a wide range of third-party home automation control systems, while permitting control via a PC Web browser or by a free iPhone/iPad app. As noted earlier, a similar app for Android phones will be made available later this year as well. The Web browser control also enables system settings to be easily backed up and recovered from a PC. DLNA (1.5) compatibility and Windows 7 certification enables networked AVENTAGE receivers to easily stream Internet Radio (MP3/WMA), Rhapsody and Sirius, while easily playing music files (WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC 96/24) from a PC or DLNA Server. Web set up manager software enables each of these models to be seamlessly integrated into custom installation environments. The top two units in the AVENTAGE series are the industry’s first A/V receivers to incorporate the exceptional HQV high-class “VHD1900” video processing chipset to ensure peak HD and SD video performance. The top three units also feature dual HDMI (Zone B output capability) for convenient dual HDTV viewing for the main room and in a secondary room simultaneously via the main AV system’s HDMI sources.
Each AVENTAGE model provides full HD Audio decoding (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio). Models RX-A710 and RX-A810 offer four SCENE buttons to activate pre-set system operations, while the RX-A3010, RX-A2010 and RX-A1010 feature SCENE PLUS, which provides a total of 12 system operation choices. Users of Apple mobile devices will appreciate the convenience afforded by the front panel direct USB digital connections for iPhone/iPod/iPad found on each model, as well as the optional YDS-12 or YID-W10 wireless yAired dock. Further versatility is provided by the optional Yamaha Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver YBA-10, which enables users to listen to their favorite music on just about any Bluetooth-enabled device, including iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android phone, MP3 player and most smartphones. Other key features found throughout the line include Compressed Music Enhancer; Low Jitter PLL Circuitry; HDMI V.1.4a 3D Pass-through with ARC (Audio Return Channel); and analog-to-HDMI 1080p video upscaling with precise deinterlacing for stunning, lifelike picture quality, even from non-HD sources. The series offers Deep Color (30/36 bit) technology, x.v.Color, 24Hz Refresh Rates, audio input assign capability for HDMI and component video inputs and Auto Lip-Sync compensation, which automatically eliminates audio/video sync issues.
All models also have Yamaha’s proprietary YPAO room optimizer, and the RX-A3010 and RX-A2010 add Reflected Sound Control (RSC) sound optimization with multi-point (speaker height and directivity) measurement, DSP Effect Normalization, Room Acoustic Echo and reflection and echo control. As with the existing Yamaha Home Theater product line, the AVENTAGE Series enables audio and video aficionados to take pleasure in their Blu-ray disc players, broadcast HD services and gaming consoles, as well as 3D televisions, with comprehensive feature sets throughout the line. Yamaha‘s proprietary Cinema DSP 3D audio processing, which is offered in each of the line‘s models, complements 3D television technology and provides extra height dimension to allow more engaging 3D video, through the use of the industry‘s only 3D Virtual Presence technology. This technology eliminates the need for extra front presence speakers. (As noted above, the RX-A3010 features Yamaha’s proprietary CINEMA DSP HD3 .) Each model is sold with learning and preset remote controls. The RX-A3010 and RX-A2010 remotes provide intuitive GUIs -- with song/station select, album cover art display, zone tone and balance controls and short messages -- as well as separate second zone control units. An ease-of-use design refinement presents the control buttons on the receivers and GUI in a consistent manner to avoid confusion. All models are also “eco-friendly” with low standby power consumption (0.3W and 2.7W in HDMI standby through mode) and auto power down function with variable time setting.

However, modern technology may be able to provide this same sight and sound experience right in your own living room. We will discuss the basic components of a home theatre system in this article. Read on to understand how these basic components can deliver the best cinematic experience to a home theatre system.
Home theatre experts state that the most important consideration in setting up a home theatre system is the size of the room where you will set up the home theatre system. The most important component of the home theatre system, which is the television, is dependent on the size of the room. Although, the recommendation is 27 inches television set at a minimum is necessary for your home theatre set up. It is also a recommendation that a flat television is good for a home theatre system because it exhibits fewer glares and produces a crisper image. Another major component of a home theatre system that depends on the size of the room is the speaker. The number of speakers for your home theatre system is dependent on the size of the room. You may add up to six speakers from the basic three speakers if you want a more lifelike sound. Adding a subwoofer may also be good to achieve a complete surround sound like in the movie theatres. Three speakers should be the minimum; you may go up to six if the room is big.
Another major for your home theatre system is the DVD player. It is a recommendation that DVD players with progressive scan will be the best choice. This is because progressive scan produces sharp and flicker-free pictures. This however points back to the choice of television unit; you may need to check if the flat television set supports progressive scan signals. You may also acquire a five-disk carrousel DVD player. This will avoid having to stand up from your seat to change discs every so often. A minor consideration is the power rating that will determine how loud your speaker can be. Of course, almost all these depend on the size of the room to where the home theatre system is going to be set up. Small room requires from few types of equipment, bigger rooms may require more and adding home theatre furniture to your home theatre system may be best. A bigger room thus requires more investments. A smaller room might require fewer but of good quality equipments to avoid the too basic feel of the home theatre system.
Finally, you may acquire a beautifully designed home theatre system if you consider hiring a home theatre expert. If you can afford this, it will be best for you because the home theatre expert will be able to effectively design and set up your home theatre system.

Do not mind home theatre seating if you do not have big budget for the home theatre system, a recliner may do the part especially if your living room has limited space. The three basic components of a home theatre system are television set which should not be smaller than 27 inches; three speakers placed on the right, the left and on the center for a surround sound; and finally, the DVD player, you may need to find one with progressive scan because this will give you sharp images and flicker-free pictures.

If you have a small size room for your home theatre system, television set may be best placed in the center and three speakers placed on the left, right and center might be enough to provide the surround sound you want in a movie theatre. However, if you have a bigger place, a home theatre projector might be best to provide the big screen requirement. Home theatre projector screen can provide the real-life movie theatre experience.

Home theatre projectors and home theatre projector screens may help provide the theatre like experience, even for business this set-up may be extremely useful and thus is getting to be popular.

Basic home theatre furniture such as home theatre chairs and television cabinet may be good for your home theatre set up. Other furniture that will enhance the home theatre set up may be necessary but the home theatre chairs and television cabinet are two of the basic home theatre furniture that you may need. Other home theatre furniture may be added dependent on the size of your living room. Apart from the home theatre furniture required, the most important component of the home theatre system, after considering the size of the room, are the three basic gadgets.
The three basic components of the home theatre system like the television set, the speakers and the DVD player. Even for a small living room, the size of the television set should not be less than 27 inches. You may not want to watch a movie in a very small screen. Twenty-seven inches and above is necessary to acquire the big screen experience for a small room. Concerning the speakers, you may need at least three speakers for a small size living room. If you have a bigger room for the home theatre set up, you may add up to six speakers. For extremely big room, a subwoofer may need to compliment the six speakers to arrive at the surround sound for your home theatre. The DVD player is also important aspect to consider. A DVD Player with progressive scan will prove to be beneficial because of its sharp images and flicker-free performance. You may consider adding other equipments like home theatre projectors, and for bigger rooms, you may add home theatre projector screen. For the home theatre furniture, the seating is a major consideration. The television cabinet is a secondary consideration of a home theatre furniture.

The surround sound will help you forget you are inside your own living room and not in a movie theatre, but if the speakers are not of high quality, the sound may be irritating in the ears. Avoid having to suffer this, and enhance the possibility of a real-life movie theatre experience with your home theatre and the inclusion of home theatre furniture by ensuring that a home theatre designer will design it for your enjoyment.
Complete the home theatre set up with high-end home theatre speakers
Home theatres are getting to be extremely popular among American homes. This modern technology is slowly giving movie theatres a run for their money. Basic knowledge of home theatre system and its basic components may be best for people who want to bring home relaxation and entertainment.
The most important consideration in the design and complete set up of your home theatre is the size of the room. The home theatre speakers and the other components of your home theatre may need to consider the size of the room. Too small rooms for your home theatre may not require so many speakers. Only three speakers may be good if the room is quite small. Do not overload your small room; you may not be able to get the entertainment and relation you want if you feel overloaded with so many home theatre speakers. Because you only need three home theatre speakers in your small room, you may need to acquire the high-end brand of home theatre speakers to compliment the size of the room and the other equipments for your home theatre.
If you have a bigger room however, the basic three home theatre speakers may not be enough. You may need to put up to six speakers around the room, you may also consider complimenting your home theatre speakers with subwoofer to complete the surround sound like in movie theatres. In addition to the speakers, you may also need to purchase a high-end television set which should not be smaller than 27 inches. It may not be reasonable if you buy a smaller television set because it may drown in the fineness of your home theatre speakers. Additionally, the DVD player needs to be of high quality, having progressive scan your DVD Player may help provide sharp images and flicker-free pictures for your home theatre system. The home theatre speakers, television and DVD player are the basic components of a home theatre system especially if the room is quite small. However, for bigger room, adding home theatre furniture and home theatre projectors may be necessary to complete the package. Again, it may be worth it, if your home theatre speakers are of high quality. This is because of the need to provide a surround sound for the home theatre set up. The DVD player and the television set may answer for the requirement of sight in a movie theatre setup. Your home theatre speaker needs to answer for the sound requirement, and if your home theatre speaker is not of high quality brand, it may not be able to do the job for you.
In order for you to avoid making mistakes in your choice of home theatre equipments including home theatre speakers, and home theatre furniture, you may require the services of a home theatre designer.

Having to be able to bring home entertainment may be a luxury. This is because only very few households can afford home theatre system. Of late, only the rich and the famous can afford such luxury. This notion is now a thing of the past. Home theatre systems may now be available to greater number of households because of the knowledge of basic home theatre design. The basic home theatre design may only require three basic components and these three components may already be affordable for the working class.
However, before you may need to think of the basic home theatre design for your home theatre system, you may need to know the size of the room for the home theatre set up. The size of the room to where the home theatre will be set up will depend on how basic the home theatre design needs to be.
Home theatre experts recommends that if the room is quite small, all you need for your home theatre design is a television set, three speakers and a DVD player. The home theatre design may be dependent of the shpre of the room; however, the position of the speakers remains to be the left, the right and the center of the room. Basic home theatre design may require a television set bigger than 27 inches. Too small screen for your home theatre design may not be sufficient for a movie theatre-like experience. This is because even for the home theatre design, you may need to consider the sight and sound of a movie theatre. It is the main consideration why people go to a movie theatre, the big screen and the surround sound. With respect to the surround sound of a movie theatre, the basic three speakers is only applicable for smaller rooms, if the room is bigger, the home theatre design needs to be more than three, you may go up to six speakers and a complimenting subwoofer may be necessary for the surround effect. Going back to a small room, if you will only put three speakers, you may want to consider buying a high quality brand speaker; this will give you enough surround sound for a smaller room.
If you have a small budget, ensure that the store where you will buy your speakers will allow you to test the product in your room and if it will not give you a good surround sound, they should allow you to return or replace the unit. This is because some speakers sound good in the store but when you finally set them up in a small room, the effect is not very good. Find a neat deal where they can allow you to return or replace the speakers. However, if your budget is sufficient, you may consider hiring the services of a home theatre designer. Your home theatre designer will be able to design the home theatre better and with complete accessories. He may require checking the power rating, and the need for amplifiers. He may also recommend using home theatre projectors and he may recommend how the speakers need to be. You will get a good home theatre design if you will be able to hire home theatre designers.
