THE ALCHEMY OF HI-FI

Introducing a modern Hi-Fi component, effortlessly combining a new generation of music listening - such as high-resolution music streaming - with time-honored Hi-Fi quality. Drawing on our unmatched history in music and acclaimed Hi-Fi products, the R-N2000A will transform your life with breathtakingly beautiful sound.

TRUE SOUND

This is sound only Yamaha can realize. We're the only brand in the world that handles audio from the moment sound is created to the moment it reaches the human ear. Simply close your eyes, feel the music in front of you, and experience the profound sensation of being closer to the artist.

SOUND IMAGE

The position of the artist and the instrument, as well as the delicate nuances and the very atmosphere of the performance space, is stunningly reproduced.

The results are so incredibly realistic, you'll feel as if you were watching the performance unfold right in front of you.

Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO™)

Environmental factors play an important role in the sonic signature of a room. Our very own YPAO™ automatic calibration technique, refined over decades of use in Home Theater products, has been optimized for the R-N2000A to deliver the ideal listening environment, as if you were in a professional audio listening room - without requiring any laborious manual setting adjustments. YPAO™ features precision EQ, which performs exceptionally high-precision equalization with accuracy of up to 192 kHz / 64-bit audio resolution. YPAO™ R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) works in tandem to actively control the important early reflection sounds, automatically adjusting and optimizing how the sound is heard in your room, depending on the materials of the walls and the speaker placement. This means you can enjoy the profound sound and immersive feeling unique to Hi-Fi audio right in your own living room.

TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER

Usually reserved for flagship Hi-Fi components, the R-N2000A benefits from the technical proficiency and absolute musicality of a toroidal transformer. Combined with an array of high-end Hi-Fi features and components, the toroidal transformer assists in ensuring the musical emotion is conveyed to the listener. Moreover, a 3 mm brass base is sandwiched between the bottom of the transformer and the inner chassis to control vibrations in the transformer, delivering an overwhelmingly spacious sound filled with realism.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE DAC

In pursuit of clear, transparent sound field reproduction while delivering rich and fully detailed audio, we have adopted the state-of-the-art ES9026PRO digital-to-analog converter from ESS Technologies. This high-quality DAC achieves highly accurate signal conversion through the balanced analog audio output and further refined current delivery for four-channel operation, effectively reproducing even the subtle ambience of concert halls and delicate expressive nuances in the sound.

LOW IMPEDANCE CONCEPT

In order to thoroughly eliminate energy loss and degradation of the audio signal, the R-N2000A 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. By achieving these, an open, natural sound stage is realized, bringing the artist and listener closer together.

DYNAMICS

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

MECHANICAL GROUND CONCEPT

Just as with the Yamaha Hi-Fi flagship model, the R-N2000A employs the mechanical ground concept. The concept begins with the bolts of the feet welded directly to the main chassis, and continues with the large heat sink, power transformer and block capacitors, also directly bolted to the chassis. This design prevents unwanted vibration, resulting in powerful, highly expressive low-frequency response, allowing you to feel the deep groove of the music.

CHROME-PLATED BRASS FEET

Completing the solid rigidity of the amplifier are its heavy-duty chrome-plated brass feet which firmly reinforce the rich foundational low-frequency response.

TONAL BALANCE

This is the relentlessly faithful reproduction of all sounds, all instruments and all vocals at all pitches across the entire spectrum.

Enjoy the full harmony and musicality in the sound. You may even discover a few details you've never noticed before.

FLOATING AND BALANCED POWER AMPLIFIER

Equipped with our original amplifier technology, the power amplifier circuitry, including the power supply, is independent from the ground, and the influence of minute voltage fluctuations and external ground noise is completely eliminated. A variety of benefits result from this circuit design, including the perfect symmetry of pull-pull operation in the output stage, attainment of excellent S/N ratio, and an overwhelmingly expressive power that perfectly draws out the sound of any musical instrument.

SYMMETRICAL CONSTRUCTION

Pursuing the epitome of stereo reproduction in this component, the R-N2000A has adopted perfectly symmetrical, folding-book construction, with the power supply in the center and the power amplifier blocks at both ends of the main unit. This gives the unit ideal weight balance and suppresses adverse effects between channels for extraordinary channel separation. The result is remarkably pure reproduction of every part of the sound.

MUSICCAST

The R-N2000A comes equipped with our MusicCast network system that's compatible with a variety of streaming services such as Amazon Music HD and Spotify, immersing you in exceptional sound unique to today's high-resolution and lossless sound sources with complete fidelity. You can also use it to stream Apple Music with AirPlay 2. And you can easily listen to music anywhere in your home by linking various MusicCast devices with just one app on your smart device.
