Yamaha A-S501

Superb sound reproduction accompanied by numerous features. An elegant design perfects this integrated amplifier equipped with digital inputs.85 Watt - 8 Ohm - 20 - 20000 kHz - DHT 0.019% - 2 channels (main channel) ¦ 120 Watt - 4 Ohm - at 1 kHz - DHT 0.7% - 2 channels (main channel). The Yamaha A-S501 is an integrated amplifier that combines premium construction with an impressive range of features. Featuring a minimum RMS output power of 85W + 85W and high dynamic power per channel of up to 240W, this amplifier promises to deliver powerful, premium sound.

Yamaha is a Japanese conglomerate operating in many fields, including musical instruments (its primary business), motorcycles, snowmobiles, watercraft, engines, integrated circuits and consumer electronics. It was founded in 1887 by an organ watchmaker, Torakusu Yamaha, but diversified after World War II. It has since become a multinational specializing in audio video for the home.

Performance

The Yamaha A-S501 is also equipped with optical and coaxial connections, both capable of supporting 24-bit/192kHz music streams, providing superior flexibility for listening to high-quality music. A particularly notable feature is the adjustable volume control, which is designed to compensate for changes in hearing sensitivity at the frequency ends as volume levels change. This control has proven effective and is worth a try. In terms of performance, the Yamaha A-S501 is a robust and more muscular device than its predecessor the A-S301, with a robust and entirely more uniform sound presentation.
