Product details

Music is born from emotions. From a unique, personal story that the artist wants to tell. The knowledge of how music is created and the desire to support artists in the creation of their works are embedded in Yamaha's DNA.

Authentic, unadulterated Hi-Fi is not so much about fantastically sounding equipment, but rather about allowing the equipment to fade into the background while the artist steps into the room. The openness of the music, the feeling of having the artist right in front of you, brings the music to life and makes the enjoyment of music an active rather than a passive experience.

Feel the music. It should not only feel like being there live, but also make the story behind the music palpable - the rhythm, the groove. One should become one with the music.

The most affordable amplifier in Yamaha's finest series completely dispenses with modern digital equipment. This makes the A-S1200 all the more impressive with its perfect workmanship, high component quality and sophisticated analogue circuit technology. In terms of sound, the Yamaha is highly cultivated, with silky-smooth, highly accurate high frequencies and elegant, never garish or superficial sound colours.

This Yamaha has warmed our hearts like no other amplifier. Everything is just right: the finish, the price, the smoothness of the sound, the control. The A-S1200 plays above its price class, no question.
