Yamaha Bluetooth Receiver Driver

Added this to my Yamaha receiver. Sound is excellent!

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

After watching the review from Audioholics, I knew I was buying the best amp. This is an integrated amplifier...meaning it has a preamp and power amp in the same unit. There is no tuner (receiver). You can connect a turntable, tuner, and CD. It also has an optical and coax inputs but the coolest thing is the USB input. I ran a 20 ft USB cable to my Mac. There are instructions to download and install a USB driver which was easy. So here's the cool part. You change the sound preferences in your computer to the newly installed USB driver. On the Yamaha, press the Pure Direct button. Back on your computer, fire up iTunes and enjoy. This USB/Pure Direct configuration bypasses the computers sound card and plays the music as the sound engineer intended. I have the sample rate for the USB drive set to 48kHz (via the Audio MIDI) which is the most common frequency used by sound engineers. The Yamaha supports two sets of speakers. I have four beefy JBL's connected with a big Polk sub-woofer. The sound is crystal clear.

The Yamaha USB MIDI driver did not move forward from iMac High Sierra to Mac Studio Ventura without using Rosetta emulator - which so far I have not been inclined to do. I started looking around for USB/MIDI wizardry and found this item. It works perfectly with no Yamaha drivers. Naturally, this cable does not fully expose the MO8 like the driver does. What it exposes is a bunch of routable and assignable MIDI channels. After testing, I was relieved to find out the cable itself is seen as a proper MIDI device, and discovered by Mac OS, and integrated perfectly in both DAWs I tested. (Pro Tools, Logic) On the keyboard side, the MIDI channels follow the parts in multi-timbral operation which is how I use the MO8. I have lost very little, if anything. So far, no delay compensation has been required.  And the price is great. And its wonderful. And I'm happy.

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

I have been a client of B and H for many, and have always had wonderful and informed and professional service.I just bought a Yamaha receiver, and through your professional guidance... it was once again, a satisfying and professional experience . Dominick Bluni

For the money this is a surprisingly good receiver.Put in my garage with overhead YAMAHA speakers.

Used to hook up my Yamaha receiver and Klisph 7.2 surround. Sounds Great!

Bought two for surround speakers since I really couldn't run wires across the room. Easy to set up, and there are tutorials on the Yamaha website too. Pairs nice with my Yamaha receiver, and the app makes it easy to setup and customize. And it's nice to know I can move one or both speakers to another room and play music either from my phone or receiver wirelessly. Great sound too!
