Yamaha MusicCast 50 WX051 (Black)

Don’t be fooled by its sleek good looks. The Yamaha MusicCast 50 produces a full-bodied sound with power to get any party started.

Powerful sound from a compact speaker
With its stereo, two-way speaker system coupled to Yamaha's DSP (Digital Sound Processor), the MusicCast 50 gives a full-range, room-filling sound. Because the MusicCast 50 uses 2-way speakers, you get crisp, detailed treble from the twin tweeters, a natural mid-range and deep, powerful bass. Yamaha's Music Enhancer improves the sound of poor quality MP3 recordings, helping the music sound clearer and more natural.

Hi-Res Audio playback
At the heart of the Yamaha's digital processing is a top quality DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). This not only provides punchy and lifelike sound but also facilitates the playback of High Resolution audio formats. The MusicCast 50 is compatible with a wide range of HD audio formats, including FLAC/WAV/AIFF files up to 192kHz-24-bit for exceptional sound quality.

The MusicCast difference
The Yamaha MusicCast 50 is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast, you can control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or tablet. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app also lets you operate the speaker and change settings quickly and easily.

Voice control via Alexa*
With Amazon’s hugely popular Alexa voice control integration, all you have to do is ask. “Alexa, ask MusicCast to play Favourite 1 in the kitchen”, is all you need to say to get the music started. *Amazon Echo or similar required for voice control.

Featuring a digital optical input, most TVs can be plugged into the MusicCast 50 for a big upgrade in sound. Banish thin and boxy sound from your TV for good.

Simply pair with a compatible Yamaha MusicCast AV receiver, connect to the mains supply and cut out the speaker cable to the rear speakers – perfect for when you’ve hard floor coverings that accept cable underneath.
