Unprecedented Musical Expressiveness
This is one of those cases when a company accumulates all its unique experience and combines it with the latest developments in the field of Hi-Fi. Following the traditions of Japanese integrated circuits from the 80s, the Yamaha A-S3200 amplifier has a large number of different functions, while maintaining the highest level of sound quality that will please even the most demanding music lovers. Users are offered a device with natural, crystal-clear sound that perfectly conveys the entire range and the finest nuances of music.
Toroidal Transformer
For flawless music transmission, the A-S3200 uses a large toroidal transformer. Less magnetic flux dissipation means no impact on other components sensitive to interference in audio signal processing. Copper wire comes directly from the coil, reducing signal loss compared to other construction options, thus allowing the listener to experience all the emotional energy of the music.
High-Quality Components Set
The A-S3200 amplifier uses the same high-quality capacitors found in High End audio components. This also contributes to reproducing natural and crystal-clear sound.
Thick Grounding Wires within Low-Resistance Concept
Implementing the low-resistance concept reduces energy loss and maintains the absolute integrity of the audio signal. Preserving the original sound creates an open, natural soundstage that removes barriers between the listener and the performer. The PC-Triple C material cable for speakers has a significantly more linear structure compared to traditional cables, providing signal transmission with fewer interferences for more accurate reproduction of the original recording.
Brass Screws and Copper Terminals for Blocking Capacitors
Using brass screws and gold-plated oxygen-free copper terminals in four large blocking capacitors with a capacity of 22000 µF ensures superior connection quality and provides an additional margin for creating an open soundstage.
Fully Balanced Circuit Layout from Input to Output
The fully balanced circuit layout used in A-S3200 guarantees a range of advantages for achieving the highest quality sound. Thanks to impressively low signal-to-noise ratio, all important pauses in music - the silence that the performer uses to immerse the listener in the music, making them anticipate the next sound - are transmitted as true silence. The design also enhances channel separation, creating a soundstage that makes the entire system almost imperceptible, allowing the listener to feel in the same space as the performer, rather than with the CD or record player.
Mechanical Grounding Concept
Deep, rhythmic, and melodious bass contributes to receiving particularly vivid emotions from the music. The Mechanical Ground Concept ensures such expressive and rhythmic bass due to maximum construction rigidity and reduction of unwanted vibrations. The large power transformer, blocking capacitors, and radiator are attached directly to the chassis with bolts, providing increased structural rigidity, further enhanced by feet with bolts welded to the chassis. The sturdy, massive construction of the A-S3200 further suppresses vibration.
Silver-Plated Copper Feet
Sturdy brass feet, originally designed specifically for the flagship M/C-5000 device, supplement the amplifier's construction rigidity. They can be used with spikes or pads to protect surfaces from scratches.
Discrete Phono Equalizer
The phono equalizer consists of a moving magnet head amplifier and an equalizer amplifier, each individually adjustable, allowing for rich sound saturation and pronounced melodiousness when playing vinyl records using both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
Well-Thought-Out Switch Design
Elegant switches and controls on the front panel are more than just a way to switch input signals or adjust volume. They serve as a link between the owner and the engineer. The beautiful, tactile surface reflects the care of the creators, which the owner directly feels.
Original Terminals
Graceful terminals of the A-S3200 amplifier are cut directly from pure brass, providing a highly reliable connection that can easily be tightened by hand.
Prominent Sophisticated Level Indicators
Large indicators visually convey the dynamics and rhythm of the music, and the soft light of their LEDs creates a warm atmosphere. The glass window with chamfered edges fits perfectly to the rear surface of the front panel without gaps or screws, making the device look exceptionally luxurious.
Thanks to a pair of balanced XLR inputs, four RCA line inputs, and switchable MM/MC phono input, you will never be lost, even if you have a couple of cassette decks.
