EV Cali Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Item: YAMAHA DSP-1 + YAMAHA M-35 Power amp Location: Brisbane Price: $250 for both Item Condition: Very good Reason for selling: Time for some one else to enjoy Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: The YAMAHA DSP-1 is a processor of early home theater surround sound equipment, produced in 1985. The DSP-1 (referred to by Yamaha as a Digital Sound field Processor) allowed owners to synthesize up to 6-channels of surround sound from 2 channel stereo sound via a complex digital signal processor (DSP). Much like today's home theater receivers the DSP-1 offered sixteen "sound fields" created through the DSP including a jazz club, a cathedral, a concert hall, a stadium and Rock concert. However, unlike today's integrated amps and receivers, these sound field modes were highly editable, allowing the owner to customize the effect to his or her own personal taste. The DSP-1 also included an analog Dolby Surround decoder as well as other effects such as real-time echo and pitch change. Most of the DSP-1's controls are on the unit's remote control. The reason, as mentioned in the manual, being that it was felt that adjustments should be done at the listening position. This can make it difficult for collectors to find a complete functioning unit. Fortunately a functioning original remote is included. In Dolby Surround mode, only 4 channels are active, with just the front main channels and rear surround channels operating, the forward surround channels being muted. I am also including the YAMAHA M-35, two / four channel power amp, so four channel surround can be utilized. Items are in fully working and good cosmetic condition. I have had some fun playing with this but time to let some one else have it. Perhaps this should be in Home Theater but I just used it as tone control. Pick up from The Gap, not keen to post unless no interest locally. See link to period review. :://www.hifi-review.com/153709-yamaha-dsp-1.html Pictures Edited March 5, 2018 by EV Cali
