A-S201

Moving-magnet phono terminals for vinyl playback and screw-type speaker terminals.

A-S201

The A-S201 features a moving-magnet phono input terminal for connecting a turntable. It has a total of five input terminals to serve as the central processing unit for different types of audio systems. Large screw-type speaker terminals ensure a secure connection with thick speaker cables.

85W × 2 high power output and high-quality circuit design

The A-S201 delivers 85W* × 2 high driving power, exceeding that of similar amplifiers. Its high-quality design minimizes signal path length and optimizes circuit layout. Placing the power transformer near the amplifier circuit reduces power loss while enhancing peak power supply capability for high-volume output. Connecting signal ground and power ground at a single point eliminates mutual interference to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio, allowing you to enjoy a clear and expansive soundstage.

Simple, superior design

A-S201

The A-S201 integrates Yamaha's renowned simple and superior design style for HiFi audio. With a delicate brushed finish, it blends seamlessly with other HiFi audio components. The operation buttons and volume knob adhere to our consistent philosophy of simplicity and ease of use.

Power-saving function

When the amplifier is not operated for an extended period, the power management function automatically cuts off the power (switches to standby mode). It can be set to 2, 4, 8, 12 hours, or turned off. Additionally, power consumption in standby mode is 0.5W, ensuring excellent energy efficiency.
