About the YST-SW216

The Yamaha YST-SW216 is a powered subwoofer designed to enhance low-frequency sound reproduction in home audio and theater systems. It features a 10-inch long-stroke cone driver with magnetic shielding and a front-firing design to deliver powerful, clear bass with minimal distortion. Utilizing Yamaha's Advanced YST II (Active Servo Technology II), it cancels impedance to ensure linear speaker motion and smooth, booming bass response. The subwoofer includes a selectable high-cut filter (40-140 Hz) and a linear port to minimize extraneous noise. Its high-density MDF cabinet provides durability and reduces resonance. The frequency response ranges from 25 Hz to 180 Hz (-10 dB), and it delivers 100 watts of dynamic power. The unit measures approximately 13-3/8" x 13-3/8" x 15-3/16" and weighs about 28.7 lbs (11.2 kg). It supports both line and speaker-level inputs for flexible connectivity. The YST-SW216 is discontinued but remains a reliable choice for adding rich bass to music, movies, and games.
