Description

Premium Hi-Fi in a Compact Design

The Yamaha WXA-70A Compact Streaming Amplifier combines premium stereo amplification, high-resolution music streaming and modern TV connectivity in an elegant, space-saving design.

Simply connect a pair of passive speakers and the WXA-70A becomes the heart of a complete modern Hi-Fi system, delivering 55 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 105 watts per channel into 4 ohms.

ESS SABRE DAC & Yamaha Hi-Fi Engineering

At the heart of the WXA-70A is an audiophile-grade ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC, working together with Yamaha's advanced digital audio technologies to deliver clear, detailed and natural sound.

Its rigid aluminum enclosure, carefully engineered internal construction and premium gold-plated speaker terminals reflect Yamaha's focus on preserving musical detail and reducing unwanted vibration.

Stream Music Your Way

Built-in MusicCast provides convenient multi-room audio and app control, while extensive streaming support includes AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready.

Bluetooth provides another convenient option for wireless playback from compatible smartphones, tablets and other devices.

YPAO Room Optimization

The WXA-70A includes Yamaha's sophisticated YPAO room calibration technology.

Using the included microphone, YPAO analyzes your room acoustics and automatically optimizes playback. YPAO R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) helps compensate for early reflections that can affect stereo imaging and clarity, while YPAO Volume helps maintain tonal balance at different listening levels.

HDMI eARC for Better TV Sound

Connect a compatible television using a single HDMI eARC/ARC cable and enjoy TV, movies and streaming entertainment through your Hi-Fi speakers.

HDMI-CEC provides convenient power and volume control using a compatible TV remote, while an adjustable Dialogue Level function helps make voices clearer without simply increasing overall volume.

Flexible Connectivity & System Integration

Along with wireless streaming and HDMI, the WXA-70A provides analog RCA, optical digital and USB inputs, allowing compatible CD players, turntables with an appropriate phono preamplifier and other sources to become part of the system.

A dedicated subwoofer output makes it easy to add a powered subwoofer for deeper bass.

For custom installations and smart-home systems, the WXA-70A also provides Control4 compatibility, Web Setup, IR input and a 12V trigger output.
