Yamaha SR-B30A & SR-B40A Dolby Atmos soundbars announced

Yamaha has announced two new Dolby Atmos soundbars with built-in/ separate subwoofers. The Yamaha SR-B40A soundbar is rated as a rival to the Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar and both are in the same price range.

The Yamaha SR-B30A comes with a built-in subwoofer while the SR-B40A has a wireless subwoofer. The new soundbars are the latest iterations of the Yamaha SR-C20A and SR-C30A bars. The SR-B40A is the pricier and larger of the two models and the UK prices for the duo are already available.

The SR-B40A could deliver a deeper and more defined low-end sound, thanks to its separate dedicated subwoofer. It has four 460mm full-range cones and 250mm tweeters that produce frequencies between 22 Hz and 210Hz. The wireless subwoofer has a 1,600mm cone, further extending the bass frequency.

The Yamaha SR-B30A has the same full range cones as the SR-B40A while its built-in 750mm subwoofer delivers frequencies as low as 54Hz. The two new Yamaha soundbars provide brilliant sound reproduction and an overall immersive experience. The brand’s True Sound principle is hyped to help maximize Dolby Atmos, while the Clear Voice feature is also present.

The Bass Extension functionality of the soundbars also enables users to have greater control over low-end frequencies. Four sound modes – movie, stereo, standard, and game are present in both soundbars. The duo also features optical and HDMI interfaces. Apart from support for control via your TV’s remote, the soundbars have a remote app for mobile control.

The Yamaha SR-B30A and SR-B40A soundbars will be released in the UK on July 20. The prices of the two soundbars are £299 (~$385) and £449 (~$578) respectively. Europe and US pricing details for the two new Yamaha soundbars are lacking at this time.
