LOUDNESS
High Quality Sound
Continuously Variable Loudness Control
The A-S701/S501/S301 also feature a new analogue
loudness control on the front panel that uses electronic
volume for higher sound quality, 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.
Gold-plated Terminals
Gold-plated terminals ensure a high quality
connection that prevents signal loss. Both the A-S701
and A-S501 have gold-plated speaker terminals and
input terminals*.
* A-S501 CD, Phono and Coaxial input terminals only.
CD Direct Amplification (A-S701) and Pure Direct
Mode for Greater Sound Purity
With a straight connection to the CD input, CD Direct
Amplification maximises CD source S/N ratio. Additionally,
engaging 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.
ToP-ART Design and ART Base Ensure Optimum Sound When
processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and
direct there is less chance of it being affected by noise and
distortion. Yamaha’s amplifier design technology called ToP-ART
features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with
left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout
for highest signal purity. In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance
and Tough) Base bottom chassis and a solid centre bar provide
high-rigidity support and vibration damping. These Yamaha design
innovations contribute to these amplifiers’ rich audio reproduction
with abundant musicality.
High sound quality circuit design based on
the ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction
Technology) concept
Created by Yamaha's Rich Experience and Tradition,
and High Technological Expertise
Yamaha, with a long history of over 125 years as a musical
instrument maker, also has a high reputation for HiFi components.
The A-S701/S501/S301 are created by taking advantage of this rich
experience and high technological expertise. Based on the concept
of “Natural Sound”, for reproducing all music as it really sounds,
and built with scrupulous care from circuit design to basic sound
production, even though an entry model it reproduces high sound
quality and musically rich sound.
High Quality Parts for Outstanding Audio Performance
Custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors,
two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system,
aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly
handle demanding audio signal conditions. The quality of each
individual part, as well as how they
work together, basically determines
the sound quality of any component.
Yamaha uses only very high quality
parts, carefully selected and tested.
