Listening pleasure that draws you back again and again

The 500 Series carries on the design tradition of Yamaha's renowned Soavo HiFi speakers; transparency and depth of sound, deep and tight bass, and a sense of rich detail and warmth. A world of sound that deeply satisfies, and is sure to fire your imagination.

Unwavering Craftsmanship

At Yamaha we take pride in our comprehensive knowledge of music, from the place of its creation to the instant it reaches the ear. That is why we put the same spirit into our audio equipment that goes into our musical instruments. We build our 500 Series speakers, for example, as we would a violin, assembling the cabinet first, applying the finish to the front baffle then completing the side panels. This minimises the strain placed on each part, helping produce a richer, fuller sound. Yamaha craftsmanship; developed over long years of musical instrument construction, and now yours to experience for yourself.

Developer's Voice

The 500 Series was developed on the basis of the Soavo series, which debuted in 2006, but with the goal of an even denser, richer sound. Its pleasures resemble those of a glad of fine whisky enjoyed straight: smooth, warm, intense, and relaxing. Simply close your eyes and listen, and you'll understand.

Musicality

There's an organic feeling to the design of the 500 Series, almost a sense of creation by nature. The rounded-corner design does away with sharp edges. Like a violin, the construction focuses totally on sound quality. Like a piano, the front baffle of the assembled unit is coated with in a lustrous glossy finish. And a choice of two colours ensures a match with any décor. The 500 series: an expression of pure Yamaha craftsmanship.

10 Year Warranty

With superior design and performance, there is also an expectation of longevity. Yamaha's 500 Series encompass this philosophy with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty on all passive speakers and a 4-year warranty on the subwoofer amplifier module, including a 1-year replacement warranty.

NS-F500 The 500 Series delivers effortless sound - both rich in detail and impressively dynamic to express the subtle nuances of the music.

NS-B500 Designed to deliver Yamaha's signature Natural Sound, the NS-B500 faithfully reproduces recordings with an open and rich quality underpinned by tight bass and a sense of warmth. A luxurious finish and tapered construction not only serves an aesthetic purpose but enhances performance.
