YAMAHA WX030 WIRELESS SPEAKER: FROM ROOM TO ROOM

18th July 2016

Hifi Reviews Speaker Review


A NEW BLUETOOTH/WIRELESS SPEAKER HAS JOINED THE FRAY, BUT THIS ONE IS ALLIED
CLOSELY TO YAMAHA’S AUDIO NETWORK SYSTEM, MUSICCAST. PAUL RIGBY REVIEWS THE
WX030

The WX030 is designed to be used as part of Yamaha’s MusicCast network audio
system that allows you to use all your MusicCast products together or
separately, controlled from one app which, of course, also means populat
streaming services. For the speaker, you can stream music directly from your
smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth or AirPlay and use the MusicCast app to
play/pause and adjust the volume from your smart device, no matter where the
devices are in your home.

Inside is a large passive radiator, 9cm woofer and 3cm tweeter while the onboard
Music Enhancer is aimed at controlling upper frequencies. Supported formats
include MP3, WAV, FLAC and ALAC. Included fittings allow for standard hi-fi
installation but you can also mount it on a wall. A touch sensitive button
interface is resident on the upper surface of the chassis but there is a
distinct lack of options in terms of connecting the speaker to other, third
party, devices. Apart from the Ethernet plug and a few connection lights, that’s
your lot. You can, though, add a second speaker to form a stereo pair.







I must admit that the ‘easy to use’ MusicCast software installation proved to be
a mite fiddly. The system failed to connect itself with my Yamaha
amplifier/Network CD Player for a while and I had to mess around with options
and variations before the system would kick in. That might be due to issues with
my own Wi-Fi, of course, although other devices had had no problems in
connecting to Wi-Fi from the sane location. Yes, I could have hooked the speaker
up to a wired system via the Ethernet port but that defeats the purpose of the
entire system and limits the speaker’s usefulness. That said, once the
connection was made, I had no further issues.



Spanning 243 x 157 x 113mm, it weighs in at 2.2kg and arrives in black or white.







SOUND QUALITY

I began with the Yamaha’s Bluetooth capabilities and so paired it to my iPhone
6S and played a MP3 version of Kylie Minogue’s All The Lovers from her Abbey
Road Sessions album. I was impressed by the Yamaha’s power. There seemed to be
plenty of oomph in reserve and, indeed, I found that the speaker had no real
issues in filling a large room with music to a reasonably loud volume.



In more detailed terms, the performance displayed lots of air and space in and
around the midrange but that midrange did seem to be just slightly uncontrolled
at the dynamic edges. You felt that the sonic extremes could unravel at any
moment which gave the presentation a slightly unstable feel. Of course, was
probably more down to the MP3 sound source so confirmation would be needed.
Apart from that, there was plenty of detail on show with highlights being the
subtle guitar strums during the louder parts of the track, the secondary
percussion giving tambourines impact while the relatively strong bass offered a
welcoming balance in tonal terms.







Connected to the Yamaha’s own mini system via Wi-Fi, the speaker became a
different beast indeed and blossomed in sonic terms, upping the sound quality
immeasurably, adding weight in lower frequencies so that percussion has an
impressive solidity. Sonically, there was great synchonicity with other Yamaha
components.

On Depeche Mode’s Enjoy The Silence, the lower frequencies on the electric
guitar give a meaty bounce to the plucked strings. Vocals were effusive and
unrestrained and appeared to have room to emote. Being connected to the Yamaha
mini system, a perfect match for this unit, incidentally, the voicing was finely
tuned and balanced which meant no smearing of vocals, no bass bloom, no midrange
brightness…just cracking music, for the price.









CONCLUSION

Offering a choice of fittings and installation plus the stereo option, the
speaker is an ideal system for Yamaha’s MusicCast devices plus Bluetooth and
network systems. It does lose out a little in terms of not allowing the direct
plugging of external devices directly into the chassis and the MusicCast network
connections, at least for me, was a little fiddly. That said, once you are up
and running, the sound quality for a few pennies under £200, is terrific and
opens up the possibility of a low cost multi-room music system.
