Asymmetrical Cabinet Design
Sound bouncing around inside a speaker cabinet can have a significant 
effect on the sound that comes out. The biggest problem is standing 
waves that commonly occur between parallel surfaces. Standing waves 
can interfere with and color the speaker’s output, thus degrading sound 
quality. The standard solution is acoustic insulation material inside the 
cabinet, which does help, but it doesn’t address the underlying problem 
of cabinet geometry. Yamaha has gone the extra mile in designing the 
MSR250 and MSR400 cabinets, employing a unique configuration that 
eliminates parallel interior surfaces and therefore the root cause of 
standing waves. Acoustic insulation is also applied to effectively deaden 
the space inside the enclosure. Elimination of unwanted sound inside the 
cabinet means that optimum sound can be delivered to where it counts 
the most: your audience.
Ferrofluid Cooling
Any technology that involves power also involves heat, and this can result 
in compromised performance if heat generation is not effectively 
controlled. The current driving a speaker generates heat in the voice coil 
that, in extreme cases, can cause the speaker to burn out. But even if the 
speaker doesn’t actually burn out, that heat still results in inefficiency and 
non-linearity that degrade overall performance. As the power and heat 
increase, the resistance of the voice coil increases as well, causing power 
compression, a loss in acoustic output that reduces the system’s dynamic 
range. This problem is overcome in the MSR100 and MSR250 by placing 
an advanced ferrofluid in the voice coil gap, where it serves to conduct 
heat away from the voice coil with much greater efficiency than air. The 
results are smooth, natural frequency response and dynamics as well as 
stable performance even under heavy use.

Mid-size Live Sound
This system delivers plenty of power as well as majestic bass with a 
pair of MSR400 powered speakers connected via the THRU 
outputs of an MSR800W subwoofer. A pair of MSR100 powered 
speakers serve as floor monitors for the performers.
Small PA
This small and extremely portable system can be set up and taken 
down in a matter of minutes. It delivers spectacular sound, too.
