Yamaha A-S2200 + NS-3000 + SPS-3000 Hi-Fi System Package

A-S2200

A performance fit for the global stage and inheriting many features from its big brother, the A-S2200 delivers an authentic, powerful yet somehow elegant and emotional Hi-Fi sound. Absolute musicality from a luxuriously beautiful instrument.

• Fully balanced circuit design from input to speaker out
• Large toroidal power transformer with enormous energy delivering an authentic Hi-Fi sound
• Gorgeous level meters convey dynamics and music pulse with a nod to the nostalgic Hi-Fi era
• Thick wires for ground connection contribute to low impedance design for a wide and open sound stage
• Mechanical ground concept maximises rigidity for expressive and rhythmic bass

EMOTION

Conveying the emotional story of artists can only truly be achieved with an intimate understanding of how music is created. This understanding is embedded in Yamaha’s DNA, developed particularly through working with artists to help them create music. It’s this understanding that enables Yamaha to truly convey all the emotion ingrained in the music to the listener.

Toroidal Transformer

Toroidal power transformers, renowned for their superior performance in Hi-Fi components has been appointed to power the A-S2200. Its ability to maintain energy when compared to substitutes aids the A-S2200 in delivering all the emotional energy of the artist infused in the music.

Gorgeous Level Meters

The level meters are both a nod to the nostalgic era of Hi-Fi while simultaneously demonstrating the importance of pure Hi-Fi for today’s discerning enthusiast. Visually presenting the dynamics and pulse of the music, the level meters imbue a warm feeling through their softly illuminated LED’s.

OPENNESS

True Hi-Fi brings the artist to the fore and makes the listener forget where they are. Music listening becomes an active experience rather than a passive activity. The openness in Yamaha’s Hi-Fi range delivers this musical experience.

Thick Wires for Ground Connection by Low Impedance Concept

A naturally open sound stage is achieved through a culmination of design and component selection. Thick wires for ground connection were purposely selected, adding to the overall low impedance amplifier design, producing a wide and open sound stage for the listener. Consequently, the components disappear, leaving the artist in their place.

Original Speaker Terminals

Cut directly from pure brass, the luxurious speaker terminals effortlessly allowing tightening by the human hand achieving a highly secure connection.

GROOVE

Music is more than a story. The rhythm and groove of the music reaches the listener, consciously or subconsciously, to evoke a feeling from the story that’s within the music. Presenting the music as intended by the artist achieves this for the listener.

Mechanical Ground Concept

The Mechanical Ground Concept adopted in the A-S2200 maximises rigidity and reduces any unwanted vibration, achieving expressive and rhythmic bass. Further rigidity is achieved with the large power transformer, block capacitors and heat sink directly bolted to the chassis while the feet, with bolts directly welded to the main chassis, provide further reinforcement for absolute rigidity.

Silver Plating Brass Feet

Completing the amplifier rigidity are the heavy-duty silver-plated brass feet.

NS-3000

The NS-3000 is a breakthrough in high-fidelity speaker design - fusing the latest innovation with an unparalleled musical heritage to convey the finest nuances in the music.

• ZYLON™ drivers boast a sound velocity comparable to beryllium yet possessing the characteristic softness of textiles
• New 16 cm woofer paired with NS-5000 tweeter
• R.S. (Resonance Suppression) Chamber to suppress unwanted resonance
• New acoustic absorber optimised for the NS-3000
• Crossover circuit using the highest-quality components including the MCap® SUPREME EVO audio capacitor made by Mundorf of Germany

EMOTION

Presenting the emotional story behind the music enables a unique connection between the music and the artist, as exists in a live performance. Yamaha’s design philosophy with the NS-3000 is to ensure that, as the final instrument with which the artists’ voice is conveyed to the listener, the artists’ emotion is accurately expressed to, and imparted on the listener.

All ZYLON™ Units for Accurate and Emotional Sound

The NS-3000 presents a seamless transition across bass, mid-range and high-end frequencies, thanks to the use of ZYLON™ in both units. A remarkable continuity in tone across frequencies delivers a distinctively accurate yet abundantly emotional sound.

FEM Analysis and Laser Measurements for Optimal Reinforcing Cross Piece

Cabinet rigidity is imperative in ensuring audio integrity. Reflecting technologies employed in the NS-5000, FEM analysis and laser measurements were used to determine optimal reinforcing of the cross piece, suppressing “box ringing” caused by delayed vibration from the six surfaces of the enclosure.

OPENNESS

Presenting the artist live in the living room is achieved through an openness in the soundstage; the equipment and room disappearing and the artist delivering an intimate performance for the listener. An open sound stage brings the artist and listener together and engages the listener in the music. Yamaha’s speakers are designed to fade into the background with the artist and music front and center.

R.S. (Resonance Suppression) Chambers to Suppress Unwanted Resonance

Demonstrating its lineage, the NS-3000 inherits the same tweeter as the NS-5000. The RS Chamber on the rear of the tweeter cancel tube resonance that can forcibly move the diaphragm and therefore impact the accuracy of the audio.

New Acoustic Absorber Optimised for NS-3000

Designed specifically for the NS-3000, the new acoustic absorber reduces the impact of internal standing waves while simultaneously reducing the need for sound absorbing material. Consequently, musical energy remains distinctly evident.

GROOVE

Groove is a feeling from the music. Something that reaches inside the listener, capturing them and making them move. Helping them engage with the music through the rhythm. Presenting quiet subtleties are equally as important as the loud crescendo’s to generate this groove with the music.

Highest-Quality Parts for Crossover Circuit

Representative of the flagship series, the NS-3000 adopts the highest quality parts for the crossover circuit. The MCap® SUPREME EVO audio capacitor made by Mundorf of Germany, renowned as the pinnacle in audio-use capacitor, is used along with a huge woofer coil.

Solid Brass Speaker Terminals

Cut from pure brass, the speaker terminals undertake to deliver absolute signal integrity through a highly secure connection. Further, their shape comfortably fits with the human hand for a luxurious feel while simultaneously allowing for effortless tightening.

SPS-3000

Perfectly complementing the NS-3000 are the SPS-3000 stands. Engineered to exclusively match with the NS-3000, they enable optimal speaker placement for absolute purity of music.
