The A-S1200 uses a toroidal transformer, which is normally only found in flagship Hi-Fi components. This transformer offers superior performance and delivers perfect sound clarity. Combined with a set of high-end Hi-Fi features and components, the toroidal transformer successfully conveys the emotions inherent in the music to the listener.
The concept of low impedance with thick ground wires is essential for premium Hi-Fi components. This design concept is pioneered in Yamaha's A-S1200 premium Hi-Fi components, helping to create an open, natural soundstage and removing barriers between performer and listener.
The sleek speaker terminals are cut directly from pure brass, forming a secure connection that can be tightened easily and comfortably by hand.
The A-S1200, deservedly considered a premium Hi-Fi unit, utilizes the mechanical grounding concept inherited from the older A-S2200 and A-S3200 models. Every detail has been thought through in the concept, from the bolted feet welded directly to the main chassis, to the large heatsink, power transformer and blocking capacitors, which are also attached directly to the chassis. This design eliminates unwanted vibrations and provides expressive and rhythmic bass, so that the listener can feel the rhythm and atmosphere of the music.
The amplifier has taken very serious measures to combat any interference, both electrical and mechanical. The Yamaha A-S1200's anti-vibration chassis is mounted on special damping supports, and the placement of all the massive components is designed to lower their center of gravity as much as possible. Grounding in the amplifier is made by a large-section wire for effective interference cancellation. Selected audiophile-grade components are used in the amplifier circuitry.
