Compact Hi-Fi Amplifier with High-Quality Sound and Digital Inputs

Yamaha A-S301 is the perfect entry point into the audiophile world for anyone seeking a reliable, powerful, and well-balanced amplifier. Built on the legendary “Natural Sound” philosophy, it offers an authentic musical experience without compromising on price or quality.

Precise Circuitry

Despite being an entry-level model, the A-S301 uses ToP-ART technology and symmetrical I/O design to minimize distortion. Its robust ART Base chassis eliminates vibrations and ensures stability.

Power and Sound Quality

With 2 x 60W RMS (8Ω) and up to 95W peak output, the amplifier provides ample power for most home speakers. Key components like 6,800μF capacitors, aluminum heat sinks, and a custom transformer ensure excellent dynamics and sound clarity across all music genres.

Digital Connectivity and Bluetooth Option

Digital inputs (optical and coaxial) make this amplifier an ideal choice for connecting to a TV or Blu-ray player, maintaining the signal in digital form for maximum clarity. There is also support for Bluetooth connectivity via the optional YBA-11 adapter, which can be powered directly from the rear panel.

Analog Versatility

For fans of analog sound, the Yamaha A-S301 includes a Phono MM input for vinyl turntables and a subwoofer output for a full and deep soundstage.

Maximum Clarity with Pure Direct

The Pure Direct mode bypasses tone controls for crystal-clear sound, while the analog loudness control maintains balance even at low listening levels.

Dual Outputs and Easy Control

You can connect two sets of speakers (A/B) and switch between them depending on your room or preferences. Operation is easy and intuitive thanks to the rotary encoder with LED input selector and the clean, simple remote control. The A-S301’s design reflects Yamaha’s signature style – a brushed aluminum front panel, solid metal knobs, and a clean aesthetic that fits both modern and classic interiors.
