Yamaha A-S201 Amplifier - Black
Classic Hi-Fi Amplifier with Pure Sound and Vintage Spirit
High-Quality Hi-Fi Sound Inspired by Yamaha's Legacy
Yamaha A-S201 is built upon over 125 years of musical and audio expertise. Designed with the "Natural Sound" concept in mind, this integrated stereo amplifier delivers pure and detailed reproduction – free from artificial coloration or effects. Despite its entry-level price, it offers openness and acoustic transparency typically found in higher-end models.
Combining 100W per channel (at 8Ω) with an optimized circuit layout and shortened signal paths, the A-S201 is a perfect choice for those seeking a balanced Hi-Fi solution for their first audio system, turntable, or CD player.
Pure Direct Mode – Sound Without Compromise
When Pure Direct is activated, the audio signal bypasses the tone and balance controls, shortening the signal path and improving sound purity. This allows the A-S201 to accurately reproduce even the finest details in your music – especially beneficial for vinyl and acoustic recordings.
Functional Design with Vintage Appeal
Featuring a simple yet elegant design and a finely textured metal front panel, the amplifier seamlessly matches your other Hi-Fi components. The control layout is clean and intuitive, and the rotary knobs for volume and input selection reflect Yamaha’s consistent and reliable design philosophy.
Versatile Connectivity with Analog Charm
The amplifier offers 5 analog inputs, including a dedicated MM phono input for turntables, a headphone output, and support for two speaker pairs (A/B or A+B configuration). Large screw-type terminals ensure secure connections with thicker speaker cables.
Energy Efficiency and Auto Power Down
The built-in power-saving mode automatically shuts off the unit after a set period of inactivity (2, 4, 8, or 12 hours). In standby mode, power consumption is just 0.5W – an eco-friendly solution for modern homes.
