Yamaha launches compact MSP3A reference monitors with Twisted Flare Port technology

The MSP3A builds on the legacy of the popular MSP3 by adding key new features, including Yamaha's Twisted Flare Port technology, which delivers an even clearer and tighter low end, with faithful reproduction across the entire audio spectrum.

Yamaha adds the new monitor to its range of professional speakers MSP3A which follows in the footsteps of faithful sound reproduction of the popular MSP3.

Yamaha's MSP3 has so far been instrumental in many different applications, thanks to its great audio quality, compact size and convenient front-mounted controls. The MSP3A builds on this legacy by adding key new features, including Twisted Flare Port technology from Yamaha, offering an even clearer and tighter low end, with faithful reproduction across the entire audio spectrum.

The power amplifier 22W Built-in is optimized for the speaker unit, which comprises a 10cm (4″) woofer and a 2.2cm (0.8″) tweeter, for clear and natural reference sound. The compact 23.6 x 16.7 x 14.4 cm (9.3 x 6.6 x 5.7″) cabinet weighs just 3.6 kg (7.9 lb), making it easy to replace and move to different locations.

Like its predecessor, the MSP3A has multiple input connectors (RCA, XLR y 6,3 mm), level controls and of low and high tones. It is compatible with a variety of optional mounts, making it suitable for a wide range of uses. These include audio monitoring in studio settings, broadcasting, post-production suites and other commercial applications, to audio monitoring of digital musical instruments and computers.

A metal grill Reinforced cover ensures maximum protection for the woofer, which is especially useful for mobile and touring applications.

Included in the MSP3A for the first time in this speaker series, Twisted Flare Port technology is a form of streamlined sound control, born from Yamaha's extensive experience in developing subwoofers. Applying the aerodynamic sound analysis and the flow visualization measurement technologies To locate and control the noise generating mechanisms, the noise generating turbulence at both ends of the port is suppressed by changing the way the port widens from inlet to outlet and twisting the airflow. Turbulence suppression reduces sound clouding and decreases the amount of noise generated at the port ends. This strengthens the connection between the sound and the main speaker, delivering clear, tight low frequencies along with an improvement in tone and rhythm.
