Description

METICULOUSLY CRAFTED SOUND FOR YOUR LISTENING LIFESTYLE

To those who relentlessly strive for the best sound. Our R-N1000A delivers total enjoyment of your music content with full-fledged Hi-Fi sound, drawing on the technologies of our top-end model. Featuring Yamaha’s original YPAO sound field correction, high-capacity custom-made transformers, ultra-precise ESS DACs, and a host of other superior parts, the R-N1000A has everything necessary to produce high-quality sound to transform your usual living room into an extraordinary environment—where you can immerse yourself in the music and fully enjoy a space of pure sonic delight.

TRUE SOUND

This is sound that only Yamaha can realize as the only audio brand in the world that handles everything from the moment a sound is created to the time it reaches the human ear. Simply close your eyes and feel the artist performing right there in front of you, and experience the profound sensation of being truly ‘Closer to the Artist.’

As opposed to merely producing powerful sound, we pursue a sense of dynamics that express the contrast between stillness and motion in the music-allowing you to feel the intensely deep emotions in the music and immerse yourself in that musical world.

DOUBLE BOTTOM CHASSIS

The enclosing structure is further strengthened by a double-bottom chassis and a thick iron damping plate of 1 mm added to the chassis bottom. This eliminates various vibrations that would adversely affect the sound and enhances the expressiveness of the lower frequencies—conveying both the profound power and supple grace of even the performance of a full concert orchestra.

ANTI-RESONANCE FEET

The R-N1000A also employs anti-resonance feet designed under a concept of vibration absorption. By arranging thin curved reinforcing bars on the outer periphery and thick straight reinforcing bars in the center, the vibration energy transmitted from the outside of the leg is effectively dispersed and diminished, while maintaining high central rigidity. These make it possible to reproduce a focused sound that lets you fully feel the rhythm and dynamics of the music.

LOW IMPEDANCE CONCEPT

In order to thoroughly eliminate energy loss and degradation of the audio signal, the R-N1000A features thick wires for the ground connection a critical feature that establishes the componentry as being truly premium Hi-Fi. In addition, a screw connection is adopted for the output from the power amplifier section in order to strengthen the ground, which is important for audio quality. This gives the R-N1000A increased signal-to-noise performance, making it possible to reproduce sound with full clarity.

    Anthony (verified owner) –

    This amplifier provides me with the finest, most accurate sound quality that I have experienced to date. We often watch/listen to a TV Series episode from 8 till 10pm and, when it’s finished, we suddenly realise that this system has taken us into this fictional world, and we were there. The system had completely disappeared. Absolutely wonderful. I have always used Room Correction in all my earlier systems, but nothing is as good as the Yamaha YPAO system which takes less than a minute to perform. Well done to Yamaha.
