Yamaha AS301 Integrated Stereo Amplifier
Product description
The Yamaha A-S301 is an integrated amplifier that combines high-quality audio performance with a sleek and stylish design. It features a built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that allows you to connect a variety of digital sources, including CD players, Blu-ray players, and streaming devices. The amplifier also has a phono stage for connecting a turntable.
The A-S301 delivers 60 watts of power per channel into 8 ohms, which is enough to drive most bookshelf speakers. It has a wide frequency response of 10 Hz to 100 kHz, and a low THD (total harmonic distortion) of 0.019%. This ensures that you get clear, detailed sound with no distortion, regardless of the source material.
The amplifier has a number of features that are designed to improve sound quality, including a ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) circuit, an ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) base, and a high-quality power transformer. It also has a Pure Direct mode that bypasses the tone controls and loudness control for the purest possible sound.
The A-S301 is a well-rounded integrated amplifier that offers excellent sound quality, a variety of features, and a stylish design. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality amplifier to connect their home theater or stereo system.
Product features
High sound quality circuit design based on the ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) concept. Yamaha’s amplifier design technology called ToP-ART features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity. In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis and a solid centre bar provide high-rigidity support and vibration damping. These Yamaha design innovations contribute to this amplifiers’ rich audio reproduction with abundant musicality.
Custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. The quality of each individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only very high quality parts, carefully selected and tested.
YAMAHA’S RICH EXPERIENCE AND TRADITION
Yamaha, with a long history of over 125 years as a musical instrument maker, also has a high reputation for HiFi components. The A-S301 is created by taking advantage of this rich experience and high technological expertise. Based on the concept of “Natural Sound”, for reproducing all music as it really sounds, and built with scrupulous care from circuit design to basic sound production, even though an entry model it reproduces high sound quality and musically rich sound.
PURE DIRECT MODE FOR GREATER SOUND PURITY
The Pure Direct mode causes the music signals to travel the shortest possible circuit route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE LOUDNESS CONTROL
The A-S301 also feature a new analogue loudness control on the front panel that uses electronic volume for higher sound quality, which lets you adjust the loudness effect as desired. Separate from the overall volume, this controls the balance of the low- and high- frequency sounds, providing full tonal range at any volume level, compensating for the natural loss in the human ear of high and low frequencies at soft levels.
DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT FOR TV AND/OR BLU-RAY PLAYER
The A-S301 is equipped for digital audio input with both optical and coaxial terminals. The optical is for receiving audio from a TV, and the coaxial for receiving audio from a Blu-ray player. The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, pristine dynamic sound for all your entertainment sources, from sports and other programmes to movies and concerts.
