Circuitry Design for High Audio Quality ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology)

ToP-ART and ART Base design ensures optimal sound. With the simple and direct processing and transmission of the audio signal there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. The technology used for Yamaha's amplification, called ToP-ART, is characterized by a Direct and Symmetrical I/O (input to output) design, with the left and right channels arranged in a direct and symmetrical layout for maximum signal purity . In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) chassis base and a reinforcing structure give the structure extreme rigidity and significant vibration reduction. This innovative design by Yamaha helps to give musicality and richness to audio reproduction.

High Quality Components for Extraordinary Audio Performance

Custom transformer and capacitors, two direct speaker signal path relays, one-point system grounding, extruded aluminum heatsink and top-quality components that can effortlessly handle the most demanding audio signals. The quality of each component, as well as the integrated operation, determines the audio quality of HiFi components. Yamaha uses only high-quality components, carefully selected and tested.

Created by Yamaha's Rich Tradition and Experience, and High Technological Knowledge

Yamaha, with a long history of more than 125 years as a manufacturer of musical instruments, has a strong tradition in HiFi components. The A-S301 is created through experience and technological knowledge. Despite being an entry-level model, it is equipped with high musicality and audio quality, and the construction, from circuit design to audio reproduction, is carried out with the utmost care, based on the concept of "Natural Sound" - that is, reproducing the sound real, as it is in nature.

Pure Direct mode for high Audio Purity

Pure Direct mode allows the music signal to travel the shortest possible path, bypassing the amp buffer and tone control, loudness and balance control, virtually eliminating any signal degradation for maximum audio purity.

Continuous and variable loudness control

The A-S301 has a new analog loudness control on the front panel, which uses electronic volume for superior audio quality, allowing you to adjust the loudness effect as desired. Being separate from the overall volume, it controls the balance of low and high frequencies, giving a full tonal range at any volume level and compensating for the human ear's loss of sensitivity in high and low frequencies.

Digital Audio Input for TV and/or Blu-ray player

The A-S301 is equipped with digital input with orric and coaxial terminals. The optical input allows you to receive audio from a TV, the coaxial for audio from a Blu-ray player. The audio remains digital, giving pure, dynamic sound for all entertainment sources, from sports and other programs to movies and concerts.

Connection Compatible with YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

With YBA-11 you will be able to stream music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones or PCs. Thanks to the digital connection and the aptX® audio decoding algorithm you will be able to listen to music wirelessly with excellent audio quality. You can also easily connect the YBA-11's power supply to the DC-out socket on the rear panel of the amplifier.
