Soundbar Reviews

This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the YSP-5600 soundbar (purple trace). The left channel was measured with grille at a distance of 1 meter.

The YSP-5600’s listening-window response in Stereo mode (a five-point average of axial and ±15° horizontal and vertical responses) measures +2.30/–5.00 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. An average of axial and ±15° horizontal responses measures +2.04/–4.29 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3-dB point is at 115 Hz, and the –6-dB point is at 101 Hz.—MJP
