Yamaha has unveiled its latest flagship, the True X Surround 90A, a premium soundbar system that marks a historic milestone as the world’s first to support Auro-3D alongside Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Priced at $3,499 in the US, this cutting-edge audio solution combines advanced beam speaker technology, AI-driven sound optimization, and a sleek design to deliver an unparalleled immersive home theater experience. Available from September 2025, the True X Surround 90A is set to elevate movies, music, and gaming for enthusiasts seeking cinematic audio without complex installations.

A Leap Forward in Immersive Audio

The True X Surround 90A builds on Yamaha’s 20-year legacy of soundbar innovation, which began with the groundbreaking YSP-1 in 2004. This flagship system integrates technologies from Yamaha’s acclaimed AV receivers, including the proprietary Surround:AI engine, which analyzes audio in real time—five times per second—to optimize dialogue, music, and effects for each scene. The standout feature is its support for Auro-3D, a 3D audio format previously reserved for high-end home theaters and cinemas. Auro-3D extends surround sound with height channels, creating a lifelike soundscape where effects like rainfall or overhead explosions feel startlingly real.

The soundbar’s Auro-Matic Upmixer further enhances its versatility, transforming stereo content into a three-dimensional sound field, making it ideal for concert videos and music playback. This capability ensures a live-performance-like realism, positioning the True X Surround 90A as a top choice for audiophiles and cinephiles alike.

Advanced Speaker Design and Beam Technology

The True X Surround 90A is a complete system comprising a slim 71mm-tall soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, and two portable rear speakers. The soundbar houses 19 drivers, including 12 upward-firing beam speakers (six per side) that use ceiling reflections to create precise height effects for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D. These beam speakers, powered by Yamaha’s YDA-141 high-performance amplifier and DSP-controlled processing, deliver a dense, realistic sound field that rivals traditional ceiling speaker setups.

Complementing the beam speakers are three tweeters for crisp high frequencies and four custom-designed “eye-shaped” oval drivers, which provide robust midrange tones with minimal distortion despite the soundbar’s compact form. The wireless subwoofer, equipped with a 17cm driver and Yamaha’s Symmetrical Flare Port technology, reduces port noise by up to 20 dB, ensuring deep, clear bass without unwanted vibrations. The two rear speakers, powered by rechargeable batteries, can double as standalone Bluetooth speakers, offering flexibility for multi-room audio or portable use.

Seamless Integration and Connectivity

The True X Surround 90A is designed for ease of use and integration into modern homes. It supports Yamaha’s MusicCast platform, allowing seamless multi-room audio streaming with compatible devices and control via the MusicCast app, which also enables adjustments to beam angles and channel levels. Connectivity options include HDMI eARC, HDMI passthrough, optical inputs, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and support for streaming services like Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music. The robust 1.6mm-thick metal chassis, acoustically optimized speaker grilles, and large resin feet ensure durability and aesthetic appeal, with a wall-mount option included for flexible placement.

Pricing and Availability

The True X Surround 90A will be available in the US starting early September 2025, priced at $3,499 for the full system, including the subwoofer and rear speakers. In the US, a standalone soundbar option without rear speakers will be offered for $2,700. The system’s premium price positions it against competitors like the Sonos Arc Ultra and Samsung HW-Q995GF, but its unique Auro-3D support and advanced beam technology set it apart in the high-end soundbar market.

A New Standard for Home Theater

With its innovative speaker design, AI-driven audio optimization, and world-first Auro-3D compatibility, the Yamaha True X Surround 90A promises to deliver a theater-like experience in a compact, user-friendly package. Early hands-on impressions from Yamaha’s headquarters in Hamamatsu, Japan, highlight its crisp, punchy sound and accurate height effects, suggesting it could redefine expectations for soundbar performance. For those seeking a no-compromise audio solution for their home cinema, the True X Surround 90A is poised to be a game-changer.
