Description

Rediscover Your Vinyl Collection

The Yamaha TT-S303 Turntable combines Yamaha's Hi-Fi heritage with a clean, modern design for an easy and rewarding way to enjoy vinyl.

Its belt-drive system, high-inertia aluminum platter and straight tonearm are engineered for stable playback, while the rigid cabinet helps suppress unwanted vibration that can interfere with the music.

Belt-Drive Performance

The TT-S303 uses a belt-drive system with a DC motor to help isolate the platter from motor vibration and maintain stable rotation.

The aluminum die-cast platter supports both 33⅓ and 45 RPM records, making the TT-S303 ready for everything from full-length albums to 45 RPM releases.

Straight Tonearm & Included MM Cartridge

A static-balance straight tonearm provides accurate stylus pressure and stable tracking across the record.

The TT-S303 also comes equipped with an MM cartridge, so you can begin enjoying your vinyl collection without purchasing a cartridge separately.

Built-In Phono Preamp

The built-in phono EQ preamplifier gives you flexibility when connecting the TT-S303 to your audio system.

Switch the preamp on and the turntable can connect to a standard line-level input on a compatible amplifier, receiver or powered speaker system.

If your amplifier already has a dedicated phono stage, simply switch the TT-S303 to PHONO output and use your preferred external phono circuitry instead.

Classic Yamaha Design

A rigid cabinet with high internal loss helps control unwanted vibration, while an external DC power supply helps reduce electrical interference.

Finished in Yamaha's elegant piano black, the TT-S303 delivers a minimalist appearance designed to complement both classic and modern Hi-Fi systems.
