Key Features
Product Ref: 304098
The Yamaha AS-500 is a high value integrated amplifier which uses high quality components and construction to give great acoustic performance.
With 2 x 85 watts RMS output (into 8 Ohms), the AS-500 has enough power for those demanding tracks whilst handling complicated tracks with ease and grace. It features a good selection of inputs for your separates- including an independently powered, balanced iPod dock input (for use with a separately-available Yamaha iPod dock such as the YDS12 or YIDW10) and 2 independently switchable speaker outputs.
The AS-500 has a reinforced internal structure to prevent vibration and dual heat sinks for effective heat dissipation. All together, the AS500's superb design and build, smart aesthetics and sweet controlled sound makes it an excellent choice for the discerning audiophile.
Offers the look and feel of the top-class A-S2000, with elegant aluminium front panel and silky touch volume/selector knobs. You can feel Yamaha’s commitment to quality when you touch the knobs.
Music signals travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.
The quality of each individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only very high quality parts, carefully selected and tested.
These high grade speaker terminals have gold plating for best connection and outstanding durability. The pitch between jacks is wider for easier insertion.
Centre bar reinforces the internal structure to further prevent vibration from affecting the sound quality.
Dual aluminium-extruded heat sinks ensure effective heat dissipation and help achieve crisp, clean sound.
Our ears lose sensitivity to high and low frequencies at low volume levels. This continuously variable control lets you turn down the volume while maintaining the optimum frequency response.
The iPod dock has an independent power supply to prevent operating or charging current from the iPod from flowing into the amp ground signal. This ensures optimum iPod sound quality.
An unbalanced interface is subject to commonmode voltage noise, so Yamaha uses a balanced system to receive the iPod signal. This makes a significant contribution to reducing noise in the system for higher sound quality
Subwoofer Out lets you connect a subwoofer for stronger bass and better overall sound quality.
Auto Power Off automatically turns off the power after a certain amount of time to save energy.
The A-S500 come supplied with a slim remote unit whose button layout is both easy to understand and use.
