Yamaha has announced four new mini audio systems that support everything from older RCA jacks to CDs to the latest iPods. At about $1,100, the flagship MCS-1330 also features a USB port for compatible flash drives, 2 x 60 watt output with a signal to noise ratio of 100dB and a 10Hz - 40,000Hz frequency response. Stepping down, the piano-black finish $345 MCR-330 and black-grain finish $320 MCR-330 offer the same features as their bigger brother, but drop output to 2 x 20 watts and a have a frequency response of 20Hz - 20,000Hz. While the base model $300 CRX-430 ups the output to 2 x 25 watts and maintains similar frequency characteristics, it loses the USB port offered by its pricier siblings. Yamaha mentions that the USB connection is disabled when the iPod dock is in use, likely to prevent piracy.
