Product Description: 

Unparalleled Musical Expression

The Yamaha A-S3200 pays homage to unparalleled musical history while embodying the latest in Hi-Fi innovation.

An expressive, dynamic instrument that effortlessly delivers music with all its emotion.

Emotion

Yamaha understands that music originates from something deeply emotional—an artist's unique and personal story they wish to share. They delve into the creation process, aiding artists in bringing their visions to life. This commitment has ingrained Yamaha with a fundamental understanding of music, especially the emotions that drive its creation.

In the development of their extensive range of Hi-Fi products, conveying this emotional depth to the listener is paramount. Every aspect of their designs is carefully crafted to evoke the same powerful emotions experienced by the artists during their creative journey.

Toroidal Transformer

In the pursuit of pure musicality, the A-S3200 incorporates a large toroidal transformer. With reduced flux leakage, this transformer ensures no negative impact on other sensitive audio circuits, preserving the integrity of your sound. Copper wire, directly drawn from the wound core, minimizes energy loss compared to other alternatives, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the emotional energy of the music.

High-Quality Component Selection

Renowned for their exceptional musical performance and frequent use in high-end home audio products, our selection of high-quality capacitors ensures an authentically musical sound.

Utilizing an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C speaker wire boasts an inherently more linear structure. This design allows for smoother signal transmission, resulting in a more faithful presentation of the original musical recording.

Dedicated Phono Amp

The phono amp in our system consists of an MC head amp and an equalizer amp, each discretely configured to deliver a rich sound with pronounced musicality. Whether you're playing vinyl records with MC or MM phono cartridges, expect an immersive listening experience that faithfully reproduces the essence of your favorite tracks.

Openness

True Hi-Fi isn't just about listening to impressive equipment; it's about the equipment disappearing, leaving only the live performance in the room. The openness of the music, the sensation of being within arm's reach of the artist, brings the music to life, transforming listening into an active, engaging experience rather than a passive one.

Low Impedance Concept

Embracing the low impedance design concept minimizes energy loss while ensuring absolute integrity in the audio signal. This preservation of the original audio results in an open, natural sound stage that bridges the gap between the listener and the artist.

Additionally, the PC-Triple C speaker wire undergoes an intensive forging process, resulting in a more linear structure. This enables smoother signal transmission, faithfully presenting the original musical recording with enhanced accuracy.

Brass Screws and Copper Terminals for Block Capacitors

By employing brass screws and oxygen-free copper terminals for the large block capacitors, we ensure superior connectivity, facilitating the superb delivery of additional headroom available in the four large 22,000μF capacitors. This meticulous design contributes to producing an open soundstage, allowing for a truly immersive audio experience.

Fully Balanced Circuitry from Input to Speaker

The A-S3200 features fully balanced circuitry, offering numerous listening benefits. With an impressively low signal-to-noise ratio, gaps in the music and moments between movements are rendered as a pure absence of sound, perfecting silence. Additionally, this design enhances channel separation, resulting in a soundstage so immersive that the entire system seems to disappear, enveloping the listener in the presence of the artist rather than the CD or vinyl source.

Original Speaker Terminals

Our speaker terminals are crafted from pure brass, ensuring a luxurious feel and optimal performance. These terminals provide a highly secure connection, effortlessly allowing for tightening by hand, delivering convenience without sacrificing quality.

Groove

It's not just about feeling like you're there; it's about experiencing the story within the music. Feeling the rhythm, the groove, and moving with the music. Only a true representation of the music can evoke such emotions and transport you into its world.

Mechanical Ground Concept

The Mechanical Ground Concept embodies the essence of deep, rhythmic, and melodious bass, translating the story within the music into tangible feelings. Achieving this expressive and rhythmic bass requires maximizing rigidity while minimizing unwanted vibration.

In the A-S3200, the large power transformer, block capacitors, and heat sink are directly bolted to the chassis, enhancing rigidity. Furthermore, the feet, with bolts directly welded to the main chassis, provide additional reinforcement for absolute rigidity. Complemented by the original Rigid Streamlined Construction, the A-S3200 ensures minimal vibration interference, allowing the music's true essence to shine through.

Chrome-Plated Pinpoint Brass

The amplifier's rigidity is further enhanced by the heavy-duty brass feet, featuring chrome-plated pinpoint construction. These feet, originally engineered exclusively for the flagship C-5000 preamplifier and M-5000 amplifier, provide exceptional stability. Choose between spikes for optimal coupling or a scratch-resistant base for delicate surfaces, ensuring a secure foundation for your audio setup.

Design

Meticulous Switch Design

The elegantly designed switches and knobs on the front panel offer more than mere input changes or volume adjustments. They serve as a tangible connection between the owner and the engineer—an exquisite, highly tactile surface reflecting the meticulous care of the engineers, seamlessly passed on to the owner.

Exquisite, Large Level Meters

The large meters visually capture the dynamics and pulse of the music, imparting a warm feeling through their softly illuminated LEDs. Crafted with precision, the glass window is cut diagonally and seamlessly fit to the back surface of the front panel, leaving no gaps or visible screws for connection. The result is an exceptionally luxurious look and feel that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your audio setup.
