Yamaha A-S300 Integrated Amplifier (Black)
Key Features
  • 60W x 2 (RMS) Power Output
  • Built-In iPod Dock Port
  • Pure Direct
  • Continuously Variable Loudness Control
The Yamaha A-S300 Integrated Amplifier (Black) boasts a power output of 60W x 2 (RMS) and uses high quality components and construction to provide fine acoustic performance. The A-S300 has a reinforced internal structure to prevent vibration and dual heat sinks for effective heat dissipation.

On the front you'll find input and volume dials, together with treble, bass, balance and loudness. Short signal paths ensure noise is minimized, if you do not need to use the tone controls they can be defeated with a Pure Direct button for best sound quality. With Pure Direct, music signals travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.

It features a good selection of inputs for your separates-and two independently switchable speaker outputs. Two sets of speakers may be connected and switched, which is ideal for a second pair of speakers in another room.

The Yamaha A-S300 includes an independently powered, balanced socket for an iPod dock. The iPod dock connector on the rear allows all of the Yamaha iPod docks to work with your iPod, and also gives an independent power supply to the rest of the amplifier, for maximum noise immunity.

Lastly, the A-S300 includes a slim remote control unit with a buttons that are both easy to use and understand.

Special Power Supply for Clear iPod Sound
The iPod dock port has an independent power supply to prevent the operating or charging current from the iPod from flowing into the amp ground signal. This ensures optimum iPod sound quality
Pure Direct
Music signals travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality
Continuously Variable Loudness Control
Ears lose sensitivity to high and low frequencies at low volume levels. This control lets you turn down the volume while maintaining the optimum frequency response
ToP-ART Sound Quality Design
ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design uses a symmetrical layout for accurate sound field reproduction and the ART Base to eliminate effects from external vibration
Power Management (Auto Power Off)
Auto power off automatically turns off the power after a certain amount of time to save energy
Balanced System for Minimal Noise
An unbalanced interface is subject to common mode voltage noise, so Yamaha uses a balanced system to receive the iPod signal. This provides a higher sound quality by making a significant contribution to noise reduction in the system
High-Grade Speaker Terminals
These high-grade speaker terminals have silver plating for best connection and outstanding durability. The pitch between jacks is also wider for easier insertion
Highest Quality Parts
The quality of each individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only high quality parts, carefully selected and tested
The Look and Texture of Quality
The A-S300 offers the look and feel of the A-S2000 with elegant aluminum front panel and silky touch volume / selector knobs
Slim Remote Control
The A-S300 includes a slim remote control unit with a buttons that are both easy to use and understand
