This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the YSP-3000 soundbar (purple trace). The left channel was measured with grille at a distance of 1 meter.

The YSP-3000 soundbar’s listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures +3.56 /–3.13 decibels from 300 hertz to 10 kilohertz. The –3-dB point is at 130 Hz, and the –6-dB point is at 104 Hz.—MJP
