Product Description

The Yamaha A-S1200 Integrated Amplifier is a premium hi-fi component designed for audiophiles seeking rich, analog sound with vintage-inspired design. Featuring a discrete amplifier with a toroidal transformer, it delivers 90 watts per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.07% THD), driving a wide range of speakers with precision and warmth. Its floating and symmetrical amplifier design ensures an open, natural soundstage, while the built-in phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges for vinyl enthusiasts. Equipped with six RCA inputs, including a Main Direct input for use as a power amplifier, and pure brass binding posts, it offers versatile connectivity. The sleek chassis with analog VU meters and walnut side panels blends retro aesthetics with modern engineering, upholding Yamaha’s legacy of audio excellence.  

Key Features  

  • Discrete Amplifier Design: Delivers 90 watts x 2 channels (8 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.07% THD) and 150 watts x 2 channels (4 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.07% THD) for powerful, dynamic sound.  
  • Toroidal Transformer: Ensures musicality and low noise, typically reserved for flagship hi-fi components, delivering emotional depth to your music.  
  • Floating & Symmetrical Design: Separates power supply and negative feedback circuits for a symmetric push-pull operation, minimizing voltage fluctuations and ground noise for a natural soundstage.  
  • Discrete Phono Preamp: Supports MM and MC cartridges with a switchable RCA phono input and ground terminal, offering rich, musical vinyl playback.  
  • Versatile Connectivity: Includes 6 unbalanced RCA inputs (including Main Direct for power amp use), 1 RCA output for recording, and a headphone output (6.3mm).  
  • High-Quality Binding Posts: Two sets of pure brass binding posts (A/B) ensure secure, high-fidelity speaker connections with easy-to-grip design.  
  • Mechanical Ground Concept: Bolted feet, heat sink, and transformer reduce vibrations, enhancing bass clarity and overall sound quality.  
  • Analog VU Meters: Illuminated level meters provide a nostalgic, real-time visual of output levels, with adjustable brightness or off setting.  
  • Classic Controls: Front-panel bass, treble, balance, and loudness controls with a rotary volume knob offer intuitive, vintage-style operation.  
  • Premium Build: Rugged chassis with walnut side panels and vibration-resistant design ensures durability and aesthetic appeal.
