Technologies
YG loudspeakers bring together the very latest in science and technology. They are built from the highest performance materials, manufactured in-house to an unprecedented precision. They deliver exceptional measurements: huge frequency bandwidth, exceptional phase coherence, enormous dynamic range and vanishingly low distortion.
More importantly, they provide the clearest of windows onto the performance. They communicate every nuance of emotion, every musical cue from the tiniest micro-detail through to the physical impact of the most thunderous crescendo.
YG products combine cutting edge technology, world class computation modelling and the very best in precision engineering. Our highly sophisticated CNC machine shop allows us to produce our own drivers and most other precision parts in-house: exceptionally rare in an age of outsourcing and mass production.
The depth and breadth of our capabilities allows us to present speakers that are far more accurate than otherwise achievable, and the evolution of our products is driven by these ongoing technological advancements.
Over the years we have developed technologies such as:
DualCoherent Crossovers
Advanced Cabinet Technology
FocusedElimination Cabinet Technology
ToroAir Inductors
ForgeCore Motor Systems
Simulation
Simulation, measurement and listening form the basis of every YG design, from the first concept sketches to the finest engineering details.
Our approach to simulation is unusual as we look beyond just the loudspeaker: we model the entire audio system, looking at the impact and interactions of all the components and cables right up to the final, elaborate interplay of amplifier, crossover, drive units, cabinet and room. It is only thanks to the practically unlimited compute resources of Amazon’s EC2 and Microsoft’s Azure that this is possible.
We never forget though that the final consumer is the human ear. The ultimate aim is to recreate the spine-tingling magic which makes you believe the musicians are in the room, the emotional engagement that transports you to the heart of the musical experience.
YG Drive Units
YG speakers all benefit from our proprietary drive units, which provide some of the highest performance available today. Their unrivaled abilities underpin the musical magic which our speakers weave.
Our BilletCore cones start life as massive slabs of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. The drivers are then precisely machined down to a few ounces: over 99% of the material is removed as tiny chips for recycling, and only the desired shape remains. The resulting cone retains the original structure and strength of the raw billet, without any of the strain introduced by bending or stamping into shape. They provide unrivaled bandwidth, exceptionally low distortion and the fastest transient response.
Our BilletDome tweeters end the age-old debate of hard dome versus soft dome, by combining the best of both. A resonance-free soft dome is supported by a stiff, light airframe machined from aluminum billet. The airframe weighs only 30mg, but is 14x thicker than a typical hard dome, so its structural strength is vastly superior even to domes made of the most exotic hard materials. The resultant sound is magical: incredible accuracy and transparency without the harshness of metal domes.
