Yamaha A-S701 Integrated Amplifier | Natural Sound with ToP-ART Precision
High-Purity Power. Musical Detail. Timeless Design.

The Yamaha A-S701 combines refined engineering and classic aesthetics to deliver stunningly natural sound. Built on Yamaha’s acclaimed ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) concept, this amplifier reproduces music with extraordinary clarity, balance, and power.
High Quality Circuit Design – ToP-ART Technology
Yamaha’s exclusive ToP-ART design features a direct symmetrical layout from input to output, ensuring minimal signal loss and maximum purity.
The ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base and a solid center bar provide superior structural rigidity, suppress vibration, and enhance sonic stability. Together, these innovations deliver sound that’s rich, dynamic, and free from distortion.
High-Quality Parts for Superior Audio Performance
The A-S701 is equipped with custom-made power transformers, large block capacitors, gold-plated input/output terminals, and extruded aluminum heat sinks. Each component is carefully selected and fine-tuned for optimal synergy — ensuring the highest possible sound quality and reliability under demanding conditions.
Crafted from Yamaha’s Rich Legacy
With over 125 years of musical craftsmanship, Yamaha channels its deep expertise into every Hi-Fi component.
The A-S701 continues this tradition of excellence, designed under the “Natural Sound” philosophy to reproduce music exactly as it was intended — pure, expressive, and true to life.
CD Direct Amplification & Pure Direct Mode
For the most faithful audio reproduction, CD Direct Amplification provides a straight, noise-free signal path from your CD input.
Activating Pure Direct Mode bypasses tone, loudness, and balance circuits, minimizing signal interference and ensuring an uncompromised listening experience.
Continuously Variable Loudness Control
This unique analog control adjusts tonal balance for perfect sound at any volume.
By compensating for the human ear’s reduced sensitivity to highs and lows at softer levels, it delivers full, natural sound whether you’re listening quietly at night or at concert levels.
Gold-Plated Terminals
All terminals — including speaker outputs and key RCA inputs — are gold-plated to resist corrosion and ensure low-loss, high-quality connections that preserve your signal integrity.
Digital Audio Inputs for TV and Blu-ray Players
Equipped with optical and coaxial digital inputs, the A-S701 seamlessly integrates with modern setups.
Connect your TV, Blu-ray, or media player for pure, distortion-free digital sound — enhancing your entire entertainment experience.
Bluetooth Streaming (with Optional YBA-11 Adapter)

Connect Yamaha’s optional YBA-11 Bluetooth® adapter to stream music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet, or PC.
Enjoy CD-quality wireless audio through aptX® technology and power the adapter conveniently via the amplifier’s DC out port.
Speaker A, B or A+B Selection
Drive two sets of speakers in different rooms — or combine them for an expansive listening experience.
A simple selector knob lets you switch effortlessly between Speaker A, Speaker B, or A+B playback.
Subwoofer Output & Phono MM Input
-
Subwoofer Terminal: Add a subwoofer for deeper bass and greater sound impact.
-
Phono Input (MM): Connect your turntable and rediscover the warmth of analog vinyl with modern clarity.
Elegant Design & Premium Build

The A-S701 features a sleek aluminum front panel with a refined silver hairline finish and matching control knobs.
Its minimalist interface and classic layout are inspired by Yamaha’s flagship Hi-Fi designs — combining beauty, balance, and durability.
Intuitive Remote Control

The clean, ergonomic remote offers effortless operation for inputs, volume, and tone adjustments.
It also controls compatible Yamaha CD players, maintaining a consistent aesthetic across your audio system.
Rotary Encoder Input Selector with LED Indicators
The tactile rotary selector makes switching between sources fast and precise.
LED indicators display your selected input clearly — even in low light environments.
Auto Power Standby
For convenience and efficiency, the amplifier automatically switches to standby mode after eight hours of inactivity — reducing power consumption without interrupting performance.
