Yamamoto Sound Craft YS-605P 38cm flat baffle speaker 1 unit

Yamamoto Sound Craft YS-605Pis based on ALTEC's coaxial speaker unit 605A or 605B,Yamamoto Sound CraftThis is a speaker system equipped with an original specification unit that incorporates years of technology to improve sound quality.

The high efficiency design of approximately $100dB/1W.1m allows you to maximize the original charm of the ALTEC unit and obtain a lively sound even with a low-output tube amplifier.

Yamamoto Acoustic Style Refinement: Simple design for ultimate sound quality

The design philosophy of the YS-605P is summarized in "bringing out 100% of the speaker's performance."

• Adoption of a simple flat baffle system Eliminates enclosure noise,Natural and clear soundAdopts a flat baffle system that provides Clarity in the mid-bass range is an advantage that is hard to obtain. The baffle material is luxuriously made of Asada cherry tree laminated wood (25mm thick), which is said to have the best sound as a material for speakers.

• Horn unit made from carved ebony material The biggest feature of the YS-605P is its round short horn, which is carved out of hard, dense solid African ebony wood.This horn has almost no resonanceminimizes the effect on the woofer unit and reproduces clear mid and high frequencies.

• Super simple network with one capacitor Taking advantage of the attenuation characteristics of the high frequency range, we have achieved an extremely simple network configuration in which a single capacitor functions as both a filter and an attenuator. This minimizes the discontinuity in the phase characteristics between the bass and treble ranges,Realizes a natural sound connection without losing the amount of information in the musicI will.

Thoroughly made with carefully selected partsHigh-Fidelitytransformation

• High performance capacitor: The filter capacitor is a high-performance polypropylene capacitor manufactured by American company Sprag (Dearborn), which has an ebony case impregnated with high-strength epoxy resin.
• Terminal replacement: speaker terminalYamamoto Sound CraftBy replacing the original large terminal and reducing the number of contacts on the terminal by 4 in total, the amount of music information has been significantly increased.

These improvements have overcome the weaknesses of the ALTEC605 series, which was previously considered to be suitable for jazz and popular music but not for classical music, and a major feature is that it has become more suitable for classical music.

[Precautions when purchasing]

This product uses a vintage $ALTEC\ 605\A or 605B unit. Please note that these units were manufactured approximately 40 years ago, so there may be slight differences in condition, appearance, and sound quality, such as those with the old diaphragm intact and those with the diaphragm replaced.

"Natural sound and clarity" brought by the flat baffle

Due to its unique design philosophy, the YS-605P has been praised for its unique acoustic characteristics that cannot be obtained with general box speakers.

"Natural resonance and clear sound that cannot be obtained with an enclosure."

By adopting a simple planar baffle system that eliminates complex box noise and resonance, the biggest appeal is the natural resonance and clear (transparent) sound that cannot be obtained with an enclosure. The sound rises quickly and is less muddy, so even minute expressions are clearly transmitted.

"The clarity of the mid-low range is an advantage that is difficult to obtain."

Although the volume of the bass range is modest, the clarity of the mid-bass range is extremely high, and this point is cited as an advantage that is difficult to obtain with the YS-605P. Clarity of sound contours improves the separation of instruments, especially in jazz and classical music, bringing music to life.

"A low-resonance sound created by Asada cherry blossoms and ebony."

The Asada Sakura laminated wood used for the baffle material isYamamoto Sound CraftIt is a material that is said to have the ``best sound'' and contributes to the beauty of the sound. Furthermore, the machined ebony horn used in the mid-to-high range unit has almost no resonance, achieving both clear extension in the high range and natural damping characteristics.
