Solution for Enhancing Sound Quality based on ToP-ART Concept
The ToP-ART circuitry solution and ART Base support provide optimal sound quality. When audio signal processing and transmission are simple and direct, the likelihood of negative effects from noise and distortion on the signal is reduced. The amplifier design technology created by Yamaha, called ToP-ART, involves a symmetrical construction with direct signal transmission from input to output, where the left and right channels are arranged in a straight symmetrical scheme for maximum signal purity.
Furthermore, the lower chassis ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base and massive center brace, due to high rigidity, provide reliable support and vibration damping. These construction enhancements from Yamaha contribute to obtaining rich and truly musical sound quality.
High-Quality Components for Sound Improvement
Power transformer and block capacitors in special designs, relay two direct signal paths outputs to speakers, single-point grounding system, stamped extruded aluminum heat sinks, and other high-quality components meet strict requirements for audio signal without unnecessary energy consumption. In essence, the quality of each individual component and its interaction with others form the overall sound quality. Only the highest-quality components that have undergone careful selection and testing are used in Yamaha equipment.
Yamaha's Signature Sound Quality as a Result of Rich Experience, Tradition Following, and High Professionalism
Yamaha, with its more than 125 years of history in manufacturing musical instruments, has a solid reputation as a producer of high-class audio equipment. The A-S301 amplifier is created using the rich experience and high professionalism of its employees accumulated by the company. Developed based on the concept of "Natural Sound," which implies reproducing any music as it sounds in reality, and meticulously thought out from circuit design development to forming the basic sound model, this model, despite its "budget" nature, provides high-quality and musically rich sound.
Pure Direct Mode for Clean Sound
In Pure Direct mode, signals pass through the shortest possible path, bypassing the buffer amplifier, as well as tone, tone control, and balance controls, which practically eliminates signal quality deterioration and ensures maximum clean sound.
Tone Control Regulator
The A-S301 model features a new analog tone control regulator on the front panel: the electronic circuit used in it allows you to adjust the tone compensation effect to improve sound quality. This regulator, independently of the overall volume control, sets the balance of low and high frequencies, providing a full tonal range and thus compensating for the natural loss of hearing perception of any part of a particular tonal component at low volume.
Digital Audio Inputs for TV and Blu-ray Disc Player
The amplifier is equipped with optical and coaxial digital audio inputs. The optical connector is designed to receive audio signals from the TV, while the coaxial is from the Blu-ray disc player. The signal remains in the digital domain, ensuring clean, dynamically clean sound from any source: from sports and other programs to movies and concerts.
Bluetooth Adapter YBA-11 Connection Jack
With the YBA-11 adapter, you can wirelessly stream music from a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone, tablet, or PC using the built-in network audio signal receiver in the amplifier. Thanks to the presence of a digital connection and the aptX® audio coding algorithm, optimal sound quality is ensured. To simplify the adapter's power supply, its connection to the amplifier's DC output is provided on the rear panel.
Ability to Choose Speaker Systems A, B, or A+B and Terminals for Connecting Two Pairs of Speakers
You can connect two separate sets of speaker systems installed in different rooms and either switch between them or turn on simultaneously. There are four terminals for connection, and you can switch between two pairs of terminals to select the desired sound source.
Subwoofer Jack
A jack is provided for connecting a subwoofer, allowing to enhance the low-frequency component of the audio system's sound to make the overall sound more powerful and high-quality.
Turntable Connection Jack for MM Cartridge Type Phonograph
You can connect a vinyl record player with an MM cartridge type (with a moving magnet). This will allow you to use the amplifier with its latest technical capabilities for listening to not only compact discs but also analog recordings.
Simple yet Thoughtful Design
Thanks to the unique - simple yet aesthetic - design directly inherited from other high-class Yamaha audio components, this amplifier, like its predecessors, stands out with intuitively arranged buttons and knobs. The aluminum front panel has an elegant textured finish with thin "hairline" lines. Equally presentable controls are identical to those used in our "top-of-the-line" models.
Simple and Intuitive Remote Control
The simple and intuitive design of the remote control allows you to perform all necessary operations with one hand (for example, adjust the volume or set the track playback order). The remote, like the amplifier, has an elegant finish with thin "hairline" lines. The remote can also control a Yamaha CD player.
Rotary Input Selector with LED Indicators
This rotary switch allows you to quickly and easily select input signal sources. Its luxurious "hairline" finish provides pleasant tactile sensations. LED indicators indicate the selected signal sources, making it easy to switch between them even in the dark.
Auto Standby Function
The amplifier features a power management function that, even when powered on, detects that the device has not been used for an extended period (approximately 8 hours) and automatically switches it to standby mode. Therefore, even if you forget to turn off the device, power consumption will be minimized.
