Yamaha TSX-140 integrated audio entertainment system

Beautiful to the eye and the ear, the new TSX-140 brings together a comprehensive array of audio facilities within a single, compact and elegant unit. Its simple, sophisticated and highly advanced

Total Sound Performance

With its twin 8 cm speakers, bass-reflex port and Yamahas own 15W + 15W digital amplifier, TSX-140 delivers superlative sound and surprising volume. We call it Concert Quality Sound, a concept closely associated with Yamahas dominance in the world of musical instruments. Noise and distortion are virtually absent and, despite its compact dimensions, the stereo audio field appears much larger thanks to Extended Stereo created by Yamaha DSP technology. Additionally, Yamahas proprietary Music Enhancer software adds depth and excitement to compressed programme material. And at the touch of a button, the three front panel controls become a parametric equalizer, allowing you to trim the audio for your preference and location. The combination of high-rigidity design and the carefully calculated positioning of sound absorbing components in TSXs construction eliminates unwanted resonance and internal reflections to deliver warm, natural-sounding acoustic performance.

Comprehensive connectivity

TSX-140 delivers new levels of audio input performance in a compact and highly flexible unit. Its integral CD player supports MP3 and WMA formats and the USB connector allows non-iPod MP3 players to be used. Because the iPod/iPhone dock is fully digital, audio remains in the digital domain from input, through TSXs DSP stage, all the way to the digital amplifier. No signal degradation enters the audio chain so all you hear is Concert Quality Sound. The DAB/FM radio receiver supports five preset channels for each band and theres also an AUX input for external analog devices.

A touch of genius

TSX-140s functionality and ease of use are unparalleled. In addition to the illuminated buttons on the top panel, three front panel rotary controls give intuitive access to source, volume, radio preset, alarm and EQ functions. LED indicators, show exactly which function has been selected for simple, fast adjustment. A brightness sensor automatically adjusts all display LEDs to suit the ambient light level. Whats more, TSX-140 features a USB mini-B connector that facilitates iPod/iPhone syncing to computer whilst charging in the integral dock. Yamahas IntelliAlarm makes waking a pleasure with pre-selection of iPod/iPhone track or other audio source, soft fade-in and early suppression of uncomfortable high frequencies before gradually building to the full audio spectrum.

Down to earth design

Inspired by traditional clay vessels and pigments that come from the earth, and echoing ceramic art, TSX-140 is available in three natural looking finishes, Brick, Gray and Black. These colours are chosen to blend into contemporary lives whilst making a subtle, yet firm assertion of style. Additionally, with screw fixings only on the base panel, TSX-140 makes a visually pleasing contribution to the home environment from all angles.
