One box speaker systems look similar. Most are called Soundbars but we also have a few models called Sound Projectors. What is the difference? Soundbars are designed to replicate virtual surround sound. Typically, they use up to 6 different drivers, permanently positioned at different angles to fire sound into the listening room and give the illusion of surround sound. Some Soundbars work quite well. They usually offer somewhat limited audio connections in the back and are designed to replace a HTIB or entry level home theater system if space is an issue or rear speakers cannot be installed properly. They are designed for smaller rooms.

Unique to Yamaha, a Sound Projector is designed to also get rid of rear speakers; however, instead of creating virtual surround sound it is capable of creating true surround sound by sending various beams of sound around the room. Created with up to 42 speakers, these 5 beams of sound reflect off of any reflective surface like walls, windows, pictures, or even large plant vases to deliver 360 degree sound around the listening area just like a conventional surround system. The automatic setup adjusts the beam angle, distance, volume, and sound characteristics to make sure that the sound is optimized for each room individually. Sound Projectors do have a mode called My Surround Mode to create a virtual surround experience if the room does not have many reflective surfaces. Sound Projectors are more full functioning with video inputs, digital/analog audio inputs, and automatic setup. Some feature HDMI and video upconversion.
