We also noticed two built-in bass modules for &#8220;lively and deep bass&#8221; and two 25 mm tweeters, which should give maximum detail. The total power of all emitters was 90 W.<\/p>\n<p>If we talk about other technologies involved, then the Yamaha SR-B20A, like the SR-C20A , has a proprietary Clear Voice system for speech extraction, Bass Extension technology for bass amplification, a set of presets (&#8220;Stereo&#8221;, &#8220;Standard&#8221;, &#8220;Cinema&#8221; and &#8220;Game&#8221;), as well as the ability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. The SR-B20A has two optical inputs, a subwoofer output and an HDMI ARC output.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"big\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"big\"
