The Yamaha A-S700 Integrated amplifier was tuned with three objectives: to naturally produce the harmonic constituents of violins and other high frequency instruments, to express the rich texture of the human voice and guitars and other midrange instruments, and to prevent the bass of kick drums or orchestra from losing its deep feeling and weightiness. By achieving these three objectives, which is by focusing on faithfully reproducing musical expressiveness, the Yamaha A-S700 fully conveys not only the clarity, but also the joy of music.

The Yamaha A-S700 Integrated amplifier features Yamaha's ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology). When processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and direct there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha's amplifier design technology called ToP-ART features I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organized in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity. Advanced Yamaha audio technology and component parts give the Yamaha A-S700 the winning edge in audio performance. For signal purity, Yamaha's I/O (input to output) direct symmetrical design organizes the left and right channel circuitry in a symmetrical layout. Custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. High-rigidity support and vibration damping are provided by a solid centre bar and Yamaha's ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis.

The Yamaha AS700 features a 'Pure Direct' switch, when this switch is engaged; the signal bypasses the tone, loudness, balance controls, and other circuit, being fed directly to the discrete power amplifier. It travels in a straight line from the volume control; through the high-gain short, direct path is maximum signal purity. The Yamaha A-S700 Integrated amplifier uses high-grade gold-plated input terminals that provide a secure connection and ensure high quality signal transmission.
