Its technical architecture features a two-way bass-reflex configuration, optimized to handle a dynamic range of sound frequencies with precision. The speaker is equipped with dual 13 cm cone woofers crafted from advanced PMD (Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) material, which ensures robustness and minimizes distortion while delivering deep, resonant bass responses. Complementing the woofers is a 3 cm aluminum dome tweeter, designed to produce crisp and detailed high frequencies, enhancing vocal clarity and sound imaging.

The cabinet of the NS-C700 is constructed with high-quality materials, featuring a luxurious piano black finish that not only adds aesthetic appeal but also aids in reducing unwanted vibrations, thereby maintaining acoustic integrity. Its design incorporates Yamaha’s proprietary VCCS (Vibration Control Cabinet Structure) technology, which effectively suppresses unnecessary cabinet resonance for a cleaner sound.

The speaker is engineered to support a wide frequency response range from 60 Hz to 50 kHz, making it suitable for high-resolution audio formats. With a nominal input power of 40 watts and a maximum input capacity of 160 watts, the NS-C700 offers flexibility for various amplifier setups. Its impedance is rated at 6 ohms, making it compatible with a wide array of audio equipment. The compact dimensions of the speaker allow it to fit seamlessly into most entertainment setups without compromising on performance, making it an ideal choice for enhancing the audio experience in a home theater environment.
