for the yamaha fans a replacement for the 5000 unit,

one interesting aspect is the 64 bit processing on EQ which is quite a step forward than most other units on the market, however apparently still limited in bass eq with only being able to do with 4 bands 31 hz - 250hz.

 

in anycase good to see yamaha keeping its flagship at the forefront :)

Yes I just saw a preview on Audioholics.

I like this feature which solves the speaker placement setup issue for Atmos and DTS:X.

 

Because Yamaha’s new flagship is the company’s first pre-pro to support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio, it comes with a 3D, multipoint and angle measurement microphone to identify the distance and angle of each speaker and handle all the necessary adjustments automatically. 

 

cheers

that sounds interesting ...though there never was a placement issue atmos vs dts-x that I know. as atmos is specific with regards the 4 heights it uses...vs DTS is location agnostic ...is it will work with what ever you have...or so they say .... :D yet to see anything concrete positive on this from dts-x.

But you still need to report the speaker location to DTS:X otherwise it doesn't know how to map it ;)

 

cheers

 

yeah yet to know much re dts-x. the av processor knows speaker location in setup eq so imagine uses those ?
