    <body><![CDATA[<P>Yamaha Corporation of America, Pro Audio &amp; Combo Division, introduces 
 the F Series line of high-performance, live sound speakers. Designed to 
 satisfy the most demanding sound reinforcement professionals, all F Series 
 speakers are built to easily handle the power delivered by contemporary 
 amplifiers. A unique switching design allows all two-way speakers in the 
 line to be bi-amplified, further enhancing their audio performance. The 
 F Series line is scheduled to ship in February, 1999.</P>
 <P> &quot;The F Series represents years of research and development into 
 what matters most in a live sound speaker system,&quot; states John Schauer, 
 product manager, Pro Audio Group. &quot;Yamaha Engineers had carte-blanche 
 to choose the finest components from all over the world to provide the 
 best quality audio reproduction. The results are stunning. Both frequency 
 response and acoustic output are far superior to other offerings in this 
 range.&quot;</P>
 <P>The F12 Speaker System features a two-way, bass reflex design with a 
 4&quot; voice coil, 12-inch cast frame low-frequency driver mounted below 
 a two-inch (throat) titanium high frequency driver. Integral flying hardware 
 is included to allow for hanging the F12. Power handling is rated at a 
 maximum of 1400W at 8 ohms. The F12M, is the floor monitor version of 
 the F12. </P>
 <P> For extended low-frequency performance in a similar package, Yamaha 
 introduces the F15. As with the F12, the F15 also features a two-way, 
 bass reflex design with 3-inch titanium high frequency driver. A high-performance, 
 15-inch low frequency driver gives the F15 smooth response and maintains 
 power handling at very high levels. </P>
 <P>The F28 Subwoofer makes a perfect addition to either the F12 or F15 Speaker 
 Systems, while also being an easy way to greatly enhance the performance 
 of any sound system. Two 18-inch drivers deliver amazing bass in a package 
 so small it might be mistaken for a double 15! An extremely rigid cabinet 
 design allows power handling in excess of 4000 watts (peak). Casters are 
 provided on the F28 to allow easy transport.</P>
 <P> All F Series speakers feature a highly durable &quot;carpet&quot; finish, 
 and heavy gauge steel grilles for external protection. In addition, heavy 
 duty carrying handles make moving the F Series from location to location 
 a simple matter.</P>]]></body>
