Yamaha are a world renowned audio manufacturer, specialising in some of the most prestigiously regarded pianos and musical instruments, Yamaha also offer industry leading audio playback and home cinema components. They're generally regarded as one of the first manufacturers to design and manufacture the 'soundbar', and continue to offer class-leading products across all fields of their operation. 

The CRX-N650 unit (MCR-N560D when including speakers), is a prime example of the exemplary design and build quality that Yamaha are capable of. This unit exists as a fully comprehensive network streaming hifi, complete with powerful and natural audio. The system uses a highly efficient digital amplifier in order to offer a punchy and dynamic sound, while using as little energy as possible. 

Componentry within has been carefully selected, following unrelenting listening assessments. This allows the CRXN560D to boast Yamaha's 'Natural Sound' motto and design philosophy. The power output is a clean 32 watts per channel at 6 ohms and bass impact is truly impressive. Yamaha have mantled 'sonic integrity' at the forefront of this units design process, but functionality has not been spared in order to achieve this. 

The CRX-N560D will connect to your network via an ethernet cable or the optional YWA-10 wireless dongle. Once on the network, you are able to utilise Apple's AirPlay streaming technology, thousands of internet radio stations, or directly access a PC, laptop or NAS drive's contents.

A USB port for apple devices is integrated, for an even higher quality sound transmission. All of the system's functions can be controlled via the dedicated Yamaha application, available free to download. 

Traditional sources have also been catered for, with DAB and FM functionality as well as a high-quality CD player. On top of all of this, a clock with wake-up and sleep timer functions is also featured.
