HiFi Began with Yamaha

Yamaha’s involvement with and passion for music goes back more than a century, to when we built our first reed organ in

1887. Now we are the world’s leading producer of pianos and other musical instruments, and are involved with music in many other ways as well. We manufacture professional recording equipment, we design concert halls and we assist artists at concerts with set up and sound tuning.

This knowledge and experience benefits our production of audio components in many ways. We introduced our first HiFi (High Fidelity) turntable in 1955. Thereafter we were one of the first to offer mass-produced, high quality audio equipment,

and introduced many legendary stereo components.

We hope you enjoy the genuine HiFi experience of Yamaha Natural Sound.

For connectivity, the A-S1000 is well-equipped with a range of inputs including phono, line, and digital sources. The inclusion of a dedicated phono stage allows vinyl enthusiasts to connect their turntables directly, enjoying the warm, rich sound that analog records provide. Additionally, the model supports pure direct mode, which bypasses unnecessary circuitry for a more direct signal, catering to audiophiles seeking the purest listening experience.
