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

Music spawns from something emotional. A unique, personal
story an artist wishes to share. Understanding how music is created, and
helping artists to create, has embedded Yamaha DNA with a fundamental
understanding of music, particularly the emotion upon which music creation is
inspired. In the development of each of our extensive range of Hi-Fi products,
conveying this emotion to the listener is one of the most important
considerations.

Toroidal Transformer

A large toroidal transformer has been used in the A-S3200 in
the pursuit of pure musicality. With less flux leakage there is no negative
impact on other sensitive audio circuits. Copper wire is directly drawn from
the winded core, minimizing energy loss compared to other substitutes, allowing
the full emotional energy in the music to be felt by the listener.

High Quality Component Selection

Acknowledged for their musical performance and use in
high-end home audio products, high-quality capacitors were selected, delivering
an authentically musical sound.

Following an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C
speaker wire has an inherently more linear structure, allowing for smoother
signal transmission to more accurately present the original musical recording.

Dedicated phono amp

The phono amp is comprised of an MC head amp and an
equalizer amp – each of which are discretely configured resulting in a rich
sound with pronounced musicality when playing vinyl records with both MC and MM
phono cartridges.

OPENNESS

Authentic, pure Hi-Fi is less about listening to
brilliant-sounding equipment and more about that equipment disappearing and the
artist performing live in the room. The openness of the music, that feeling of
being within reach of the artist, brings the music to the forefront, and makes
listening to music an active rather than passive experience.

Low Impedance Concept

Adopting the low impedance design concept minimizes energy
loss while maintaining absolute integrity in the audio signal. Preservation of
the original audio results in an open, natural sound stage, bringing the
listener and the artist together.

Following an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C
speaker wire has an inherently more linear structure, allowing for smoother
signal transmission to more accurately present the original musical recording.

Brass Screws and Copper Terminals for Block Capacitors

Adopting brass screws and oxygen-free copper terminals for
the large block capacitors contributes to superior connectivity, superbly
delivering the additional headroom available in the four large 22,000μF
capacitors to produce the open soundstage.

Fully Balanced Circuitry from Input to Speaker

The fully balanced circuitry used in the A-S3200 yields a
number of listening benefits. Delivering impressively low signal-to-noise ratio
allows for the perfection of silence – gaps in the music and moments between
movements are a pure absence of sound. The design also adds to improved channel
separation producing a sound stage that almost makes the entire system
disappear, giving the listener the feeling of being in the room with the
artist, not the CD or vinyl source.

Original Speaker Terminals

The luxurious speaker terminals are cut directly from pure
brass and achieve a highly secure connection, effortlessly allowing tightening
by the human hand.

GROOVE

Feeling the music. Not just feeling like you are there, but
feeling the story in the music. Feeling the rhythm, the groove of the music.
Moving with the music. Only a true representation of the music can deliver
this.

Mechanical Ground Concept

An expression of deep, rhythmic and melodious bass generates
feeling from the music, the story of the music. The Mechanical Ground Concept
achieves this expressive and rhythmic bass by maximizing rigidity and reducing
any unwanted vibration. The large power transformer, block capacitors and heat
sink are directly bolted to the chassis delivering greater rigidity, while the
feet, with bolts directly welded to the main chassis, provide further
reinforcement for absolute rigidity. The A-S3200 has an original Rigid
Streamlined Construction that further suppresses vibration.

Chrome-Plated Pinpoint Brass

Completing the rigidity of the amplifier are the heavy-duty
brass feet used with either spikes or a scratch-resistant base for delicate
surfaces, originally engineered exclusively for the flagship C-5000
preamplifier and M-5000 amplifier.

DESIGN

Meticulous Switch Design

Use of the elegantly designed switches and knobs on the
front panel present more than just input changes or volume adjustments. They
serve as a connection between the owner and the engineer, a beautiful,
highly-tactile surface reflecting the obsessive care of the engineers, passed
directly to the owner.

Exquisite, Large Level Meters

Visually presenting the dynamics and pulse of the music, the
large meters imbue a warm feeling through their softly illuminated LEDs. The
glass window is cut diagonally and precision-fit to the back surface of the
front panel, leaving no gaps or screws for connection. An exceptionally
luxurious look and feel is achieved.
