Yamaha THR30IIW Cream

The tidy operating panel on the Yamaha THR30IIW Cream is easy to understand, even without studying the manual. The AMP knob is the centrepiece here: It pre-selects some features for the connected instrument, such as electric or acoustic guitar amps, or a suitable bass amplifier model – all of the above are ready for action with 21 different types and three amp modes each. A three-band EQ and a gain potentiometer are responsible for creating the sound before the signal is sent to the effects department, where it can be spiced up with high-quality stereo effects to suit any need. With the 30W power amp, the two 3.5" full-range speakers deliver enough power for rehearsals or jam sessions out in the open thanks to the built-in rechargeable battery, while the wireless receiver of the THR30IIW, when combined with an optionally available transmitter, eliminates the need for a jack cable.

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
