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 work are embedded in Yamaha's DNA. Above all, we understand the feelings that fuel the creation of a musical work. When we developed the products in our extensive hi-fi range, one of our main concerns was to allow the audience to share in these experiences.
Yamaha A-S3200 toroidal transformer
A large toroidal transformer is used in the A-S3200 to ensure genuine sound reproduction. The lower leakage flux means there are no negative effects on other sensitive audio circuits. The copper wire has its origin directly in the wound core. This means that the power loss is significantly lower compared to other products - and the full emotional energy of the music can be felt by the listener.
Selection of high quality components
The powerful music reproduction and its use in high-end home audio devices were crucial for the selection of high-quality capacitors, which are a guarantee for rich, unadulterated sound.
After undergoing an intensive forging process, the PC-Triple C speaker cable has a more linear structure that enables smooth signal transmission and thus contributes to faithful music reproduction.
Yamaha A-S3200 OPENNESS
Authentic, unadulterated hi-fi isn't so much about fantastic-sounding equipment, but rather about the equipment fading into the background and the artist themselves stepping into the room. The openness of the music, the feeling of having the artist right in front of you, brings the music to true life and makes enjoying music an active rather than a passive experience.
Thick ground wires contribute to less impedance
Our design concept reduces impedance and minimizes power loss while ensuring the integrity of the audio signal is fully maintained. The true-to-original sound unfolds in an open, natural sound space in which listeners and artists meet.

Block capacitor with brass screws and copper connection
Brass screws and gold-plated oxygen-free copper connections on the large block capacitors contribute to extensive connection options. They also enable additional headroom in the four large 22,000 μF capacitors, allowing the open sound space to unfold.
Completely symmetrical circuit from input to speaker output
The completely symmetrical circuit of the A-S3200 brings several advantages. The impressively good signal-to-noise ratio ensures that nothing can be heard apart from silence during tense musical breaks. The design also contributes to better channel separation, thereby creating a sound space in which the entire system can function. This gives the listener the feeling of not being in the same room with a CD or record, but with the artist himself.
GROOVE
Feel the music. It shouldn't just feel like you're there live, you should also feel the story behind the music - the rhythm, the groove. You should become one with the music.
Basic mechanical concept
A deep, rhythmic and melodic bass brings the music very close and brings the story behind the music to life. The basic mechanical concept enables this expressive and rhythmic bass because it is characterized by maximum robustness and the reduction of unwanted vibrations. The large power converter, block capacitors and heat sink are screwed directly to the frame, thereby increasing rigidity. The feet, whose bolts are welded to the main frame, increase stability even further. Finally, annoying vibrations are suppressed by the Rigid Streamlined Construction of the A-S3200.
Yamaha A-S3200 Silver plated brass feet
Finally, the heavy-duty brass feet with spikes or a scratch-resistant base plate for sensitive surfaces also increase the rigidity of the amplifier. The design originally comes from our top product M/C-5000.
MISCELLANEOUS
Yamaha A-S3200 with special phono amplifier
The phono amplifier includes an MC preamplifier and an equalizer amplifier, each with its own structure. They make an important contribution to the rich sound with high musicality when you play records with MC or MM cartridges.
Original quality speaker connections
The luxurious speaker connectors are made of solid brass, ensuring highly secure connections and yet can be easily tightened by hand.
Carefully thought out switch design
The elegantly designed switches and buttons on the front panel are not only used to change inputs or adjust volume. Rather, they create a connection between owner and developer. The great care taken by the technicians directly benefits the user through the attractive surface, which is extremely pleasant to the touch.
Yamaha A-S3200 Stylish, large level display
Stylish level displays make the dynamics and pulse of the music visible and give the system a pleasant atmosphere with their softly glowing LEDs. The diagonally cut glass window is precisely fitted into the back of the front panel and has no seams or connecting screws, thereby underlining the exceptionally elegant look.
