Yamaha A-S701SL Natural Sound Integrated Stereo Amplifier

Yamaha A-S701 Natural Sound 2CH Integrated Stereo Amplifier with Remote Control (Silver)

Expand your listening horizons with the silver A-S701 Integrated Amplifier from Yamaha. Featuring up to 120W per channel of RMS power at 6 ohms, this amp is equipped with digital inputs for connecting devices like televisions and Blu-ray/DVD players. It offers dual stereo outputs, giving you the ability to power two sets of speakers in different rooms and switch between them, or have them both playing at the same time. To increase the bass output of your sound system, there's also a terminal for connecting a subwoofer.

To reduce distortion and degradation and produce the cleanest possible sound, the A-S701 employs Pure Direct mode and CD Direct mode. Activated via buttons on the front of the unit, these modes cause input signals to bypass unused circuits and cuts off those circuits' power supply. To further ensure quality sound, the amplifier's continuously variable loudness control allows you to balance low and high frequency sounds so you can hear a full tonal range at any volume.

Built to be energy efficient, the amp uses a power management system to switch itself to idle mode when not in use. The A-S701's internal circuitry mirrors itself symmetrically to produce higher signal purity and lower degradation. The chassis is reinforced with a solid center bar to reduce vibration and features a brushed aluminum front panel and knobs. The system comes with a remote control for easy operation.

CD Direct Mode

Engaged by a front panel switch, it matches CD signal levels so each stage produces less noise, resulting in improved signal-to-noise ratio and maintenance of the amp's total gain balance.

Pure Direct Mode

The Pure Direct mode causes the music signals to travel the shortest possible circuit route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.

Continuously Variable Loudness Control

The A-S701 features an analog loudness control on the front panel which lets you adjust the loudness effect as desired. Separate from the overall volume, this controls the balance of the low- and high-frequency sounds, providing full tonal range at any volume level, compensating for the natural loss in the human ear of high and low frequencies at soft levels.

Direct Symmetrical Design

This amplifier's left and right channels are organized in a straight, symmetrical layout for limiting distortion and increasing signal purity.

Anti-Resonance Chassis

The base of the A-S701's chassis is reinforced with a solid center bar to increase rigidity support and vibration damping, which limits resonance.
