Yamaha A-S3200 toroidal transformer

A large toroidal transformer is used in the A-S3200 to ensure genuine sound reproduction. The lower leakage flux means there are no negative effects on other sensitive audio circuits. The copper wire has its origin directly in the wound core. This means that the power loss is significantly lower compared to other products - and the full emotional energy of the music can be felt by the listener.

Selection of high quality components

The powerful music reproduction and its use in high-end home audio devices were crucial for the selection of high-quality capacitors, which are a guarantee for rich, unadulterated sound.

After undergoing an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C speaker cable has a more linear structure that enables smooth signal transmission and thus contributes to faithful music reproduction.

Thick ground wires contribute to less impedance

Our design concept reduces impedance and minimizes power loss while ensuring the integrity of the audio signal is fully maintained. The true-to-original sound unfolds in an open, natural sound space in which listeners and artists meet.

Block capacitor with brass screws and copper connection

Brass screws and gold-plated oxygen-free copper connections on the large block capacitors contribute to extensive connection options. They also enable additional headroom in the four large 22,000 μF capacitors, allowing the open sound space to unfold.

Completely symmetrical circuit from input to speaker output

The completely symmetrical circuit of the A-S3200 brings several advantages. The impressively good signal-to-noise ratio ensures that nothing can be heard apart from silence during tense musical breaks. The design also contributes to better channel separation, thereby creating a sound space in which the entire system can function. This gives the listener the feeling of not being in the same room with a CD or record, but with the artist himself.

Basic mechanical concept

A deep, rhythmic and melodic bass brings the music very close and brings the story behind the music to life. The basic mechanical concept enables this expressive and rhythmic bass because it is characterized by maximum robustness and the reduction of unwanted vibrations. The large power converter, block capacitors and heat sink are screwed directly to the frame, thereby increasing rigidity. The feet, whose bolts are welded to the main frame, increase stability even further. Finally, annoying vibrations are suppressed by the Rigid Streamlined Construction of the A-S3200.

Finally, the heavy-duty brass feet with spikes or a scratch-resistant base plate for sensitive surfaces also increase the rigidity of the amplifier. The design originally comes from our top product M/C-5000.

Yamaha A-S3200 with special phono amplifier

The phono amplifier includes an MC preamplifier and an equalizer amplifier, each with its own structure. They make an important contribution to the rich sound with high musicality when you play records with MC or MM cartridges.

Original quality speaker connections

• 

The luxurious speaker connectors are made of solid brass, ensuring highly secure connections and yet can be easily tightened by hand.

Carefully thought out switch design

• 

The elegantly designed switches and buttons on the front panel are not only used to change inputs or adjust volume. Rather, they create a connection between owner and developer. The great care taken by the technicians directly benefits the user through the attractive surface, which is extremely pleasant to the touch.

Yamaha A-S3200 Stylish, large level display

• 

Stylish level displays make the dynamics and pulse of the music visible and give the system a pleasant atmosphere with their softly glowing LEDs. The diagonally cut glass window is precisely fitted into the back of the front panel and has no seams or connecting screws, thereby underlining the exceptionally elegant look.
