The new range of Integrated Amplifiers comprises of three models: the A-S701, A-S501 and A-S301.

“It is with a resolute dedication to the two channel category that Yamaha introduces a new and updated range”, explains Justin d’Offay – Product Manager for Yamaha Music Australia’s AV Division.

“We hope to reinvigorate a passion for music within existing hi-fi circles, while inspiring a new generation to discover the benefits of a quality hi-fi system.”

With a simple design which provides glimpses of Yamaha’s hi-fi Components of the past, the new range has a silver hairline finish on its aluminium front panel and precisely-machined control knobs.

The new models also sport modern conveniences such as digital audio connections – both optical and coaxial – for TV and Blu-ray sources as we as support for Yamaha’s optional YAB-11 Bluetooth Adaptor enabling wireless music streaming from Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Each model is engineered utilising Yamaha’s exclusive ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) amplifier design technology which arranges the left and right channels in a direct, symmetrical layout. In addition, an ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base reinforces the chassis and promotes vibration damping.

All amplifier models feature a Pure Direct mode, which minimises signal degradation by directing the signal to the shortest possible route. By bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls, the Amplifier delivers pure sound reproduction.

The A-S701 also features CD Direct Amplification which maximises the signal-to-noise ratio of CD sources. The A-S701, A-S501 and A-S301 are available now for $1,099, $799 and $599 RR respectively. A two year warranty is applicable to all models. Available in Silver or Black finishes.
