Yamaha A-S501 / NS-F51 HiFi Stereo System Black Set

Impressive Sound Quality with a Variety of Features and an Elegant Look!

Excellent Circuit Design Based on the ToP-ART Concept for Highest Sound Quality

The ToP-ART concept (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) guarantees excellent sound in combination with the ART Base. Only when both the processing and transmission of audio signals are designed to be simple and direct is the influence of noise and distortion minimized. Yamaha's technology for this amplifier design is called ToP-ART. It consists of a fully symmetrical structure from input to output, with left and right channels processed via the shortest possible signal paths. This ensures outstanding sound with uncolored clarity. The ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base housing bottom and the solid center rail provide additional stability and dampen vibrations. These Yamaha design innovations further contribute to excellent audio reproduction with outstanding musicality.

Premium Components for Outstanding Sound Quality

The quality of individual parts and their interaction are crucial for the sound of any component. That’s why Yamaha uses only high-quality components that are carefully selected and tested. The A-S501 guarantees excellent signal reproduction even under demanding conditions – the power transformer and blocking capacitors are specially made, the speaker relays have a direct signal path, plus single-point grounding and extruded aluminum heat sinks.

Crafted with Yamaha’s Unique Experience, Tradition, and Technical Expertise

Yamaha not only has over 125 years of tradition in instrument making but also an excellent reputation for its HiFi components. The development of the A-S501 fully leveraged this long-standing experience and technical expertise. Based on the "Natural Sound" concept, music is reproduced exactly as it sounds. The amplifier was built with utmost care from signal paths to sound generation – even as an entry-level model, it offers excellent sound quality and unique musicality.

Pure Direct Mode for Uncolored, Pure Sound

When Pure Direct mode is activated, the signal bypasses the circuits for bass and treble control, balance, and amplifier buffer. This improves sound quality without affecting maximum output power. Shortening the signal path increases acoustic purity and allows reproduction of even the finest musical nuances.

Continuously Adjustable Loudness

The A-S501 features a new analog loudness control located on the front panel. It uses electronic volume control for the highest sound quality, allowing the loudness effect to be adjusted as desired. Separate from the normal volume control, it can influence the balance between treble and bass. This makes the full tonal range available and compensates for the natural hearing loss of high and low frequencies at low volume.

Gold-Plated Connections

Gold-plated connections ensure a particularly high-quality connection that prevents signal loss. The A-S501 features gold-plated speaker terminals and RCA (CD, Phono) and coaxial connections.

Digital Audio Inputs for TV and/or Blu-ray Player

The A-S501 has both an optical and a coaxial digital input. The optical input is for TV audio, the coaxial for Blu-ray player audio. The signal remains digital throughout, ensuring pure, dynamic sound from all sources – from sports and other TV broadcasts to movies and concert recordings.

Connection for a YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

With the YBA-11, you can stream music wirelessly from Bluetooth®-compatible smartphones, tablets, or PCs. Thanks to digital connection and the aptX algorithm, you enjoy music streaming in the best sound quality. The YBA-11 can be conveniently powered via the DC output on the back of the amplifier.

Connections for Two Speaker Systems and Choice Between Speaker A, B, or A+B

You can connect two separate speaker systems in different rooms and switch between them or operate both simultaneously. Four connections are available, so you can select the right speaker pair for the respective source with the push of a button.

Subwoofer Connection

The subwoofer connection can enhance the system’s bass reproduction for a more powerful sound with better quality.

Phono-MM Connection

A turntable with an MM phono module can also be connected. Enjoy vinyl recordings alongside CDs and experience the interplay of the latest digital and analog technology.

Minimalist Elegant Design

With its minimalist elegant design, this integrated amplifier stands firmly in the tradition of legendary Yamaha HiFi components. The aluminum front panel features a refined hairline finish and an intuitive layout of controls. The knobs also share the same luxurious construction as our high-end models.

Remote Control with Clear Intuitive Design

The clear and simple design of the remote control allows intuitive one-handed operation. For example, volume or playback order can be easily and comfortably adjusted. The clear design with hairline finish perfectly complements the amplifier itself. The remote can also control a Yamaha CD player.

Rotary Knob with LEDs for Source Selection

A rotary knob makes selecting the input source easy and quick. The high-quality material with hairline finish offers a pleasant tactile feel. The selected source is indicated by LEDs, allowing easy switching between inputs even in dark rooms.

Auto Standby Function

The amplifier’s power-saving function detects if it has not been used for a long time (about 8 hours) although it is switched on. In this case, the device automatically switches to standby mode – minimizing power consumption if the amplifier was accidentally left on.

High-Resolution Sound for All Movie Sound & Music Formats!

The Yamaha NS-F51 floorstanding speakers with their expressive sound turn every movie and your favorite music into a new experience.

The NS-F51 is a 2-way speaker with two 16 cm woofers/midrange drivers and a 3 cm fabric dome tweeter. The large cabinet volume delivers powerful bass with crisp lows and detailed mids.

The reinforced cabinet is free from unwanted resonances, allowing detailed high-frequency reproduction. The elaborate crossover enables playback not only of high-quality movie sound formats but also outstanding presentation of all high-resolution audio formats.
