ADVANCED YAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY II
In 1988, Yamaha brought to the marketplace speaker
Yamaha’s newly developed Advanced YST II adds many

combining negative-impedance and constant-current
drives, which provides a more stable performance and

generated between the speaker cabinet volume and port, it
creates more resonant energy (the “air woofer” concept)
than the standard bass reflex method. This allows for bass
reproduction from much smaller cabinets than was
previously possible.
