YAMAHA A-S501 Black

AS-Sxx1 receiver series will offer you special design ensuring lifelike sound construction based on the ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) concept. Direct and short audio paths are symmetrical to the left and right channel, which minimizes final sound distortion or noise during transmission. Its ridig ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) base features fixed median that provides support with high rigidity and effectively damps vibrations. Engineers´s effort and knowledge, as well as stringent selection of components and precise execution result in perfectly clear sound. Sound keeps its original "rawness" and corresponds to the original source despite the rich gain.

Key Features

• Rich amplification without distortion
• Special design for stable parameters
• Reliable long-life components
• Simple controls and sound tuning
• Pallet jacks for all audio devices

For Your Ears

Low and high frequency tones naturally fade out at lower volume levels. If you do not like authentic playback sound, and does not correspond to your feelings, there is nothing simpler than to correct the sound. The front panel offers a volume control and power switch, as well as analog controller, which can finely tune the tonal scale at their own level. It uses electronic volume for higher sound quality, which lets you adjust the loudness effect as desired. The opposite is the setting button Pure Direct, which transmits the music signals through the shortest possible circuit route, without any significant change. The smallest of the mobile driver is used for switching between a pair of speaker sets or plays the sound of both simultaneouosly.

Connectors are important

Featuring a full set of input and output connectors, the amplifier supports every device producing audio. The basis of transmission without compromising quality are certainly digital inputs (optical or coaxial), which brings the sound to an amplifier from game consoles, media players or HD videos directly from your TV. Furthermore it offers you another six analog inputs for other electronics, such as a CD player, tuner, pocket player and so on. You can connect a turntable with a phono MM cartridge as well. Enjoy listening to gramophone recordings thanks to the amplifier with the latest technologies.
