The Yamaha NS-30 is a compact, two-way bookshelf speaker model that was first introduced in the late 1970s. It is designed to offer high-quality audio reproduction within a small form factor, making it suitable for various listening environments. The speaker features a unique blend of materials and engineering to finely balance sound performance, clarity, and bass response. The NS-30 is recognized for its clean aesthetic with a wooden enclosure, often available in different finishes, which enhances its appeal for home decor. It is equipped with an 8-inch woofer that is capable of producing rich low frequencies, while a 1-inch tweeter provides detailed high frequencies. The frequency response range is typically within 40Hz to 20kHz, offering a broad spectrum for accurate sound representation. The nominal impedance is around 8 ohms, and it has a sensitivity rating that allows it to be driven efficiently by a wide range of amplifiers. These characteristics make the NS-30 versatile for both music listening and home theater applications. The speaker's construction emphasizes durability while delivering reliable performance for years.
