Rich Experience, Tradition, and High Technological Expertise

Yamaha has a long history – over 125 years – as a musical instrument maker as well as an exceptional reputation for Hi-Fi components. The R-N301 is created by taking advantage of this rich experience and high technological expertise. Based on the concept of “Natural Sound,” Yamaha reproduces all music as it really sounds. Being built with scrupulous care from circuit designs to basic sound reproduction, even entry models produce rich, high quality sound.

High Sound Quality Circuit Design

The R-N301, with 100 W × 2-channels offers power that is ahead of its class. The quality in its design minimizes the length of signal routes and optimizes the circuit layout. Positioning the power transformer near the power amp circuit reduces power loss while improving the supply of peak power enabling a high output of volume. The signal ground and power supply ground are connected at one point, eliminating mutual interference to achieve a higher S/N ratio. The result is sound filled with clarity and a feeling of openness.

* 8 ohms / 40Hz — 20kHz / 0.2% THD

Simple and Sophisticated Design

With a beautiful and simple design inherited directly from Yamaha Hi-Fi audio components, this receiver boasts an easy to operate button layout. The front panel has a rich textured black hairline finish and the control knobs are also of the same luxurious construction as top end models.

Power Saving

A power management function automatically cuts off the power (switches to standby mode) when the amplifier has not been operated for a long time. It can be set to 2, 4, 8, 12 or 20 hours, or remain disabled. In addition, power consumption during standby is only 0.1 W, achieving good energy saving performance.
