High-Quality Circuit Design for Superior Sound:
Yamaha's ToP-ART Design and ART Base guarantee optimum sound quality by ensuring a direct and straightforward processing and transmission of the audio signal. The ToP-ART technology features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, arranging left and right channels in a straight, symmetrical layout to maintain signal purity. Additionally, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis and solid centre bar offer robust support and vibration damping, contributing to rich audio reproduction with abundant musicality.

Outstanding Audio Performance:
The amplifier boasts a custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, a one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks, and other high-quality parts designed to effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. The selection and quality of individual components, along with their synergy, significantly influence the sound quality of any component. Yamaha utilises only top-tier parts, meticulously chosen and tested for their performance.

Pure Direct Mode for Enhanced Sound Purity:
Activating the Pure Direct Switch bypasses the control circuits for bass and treble, balance, and the back buffer amp. This enhancement in sound quality maintains full output capacity. By shortening the signal route, sound purity is improved, effectively reproducing even the most delicate musical nuances.
