When space is tight, make the most of it without sacrificing performance. As an example, our RX-V675 is 6-3/4” high while the slim and compact RX-S600 is 4-3/8” high and offers similar performance at a fraction of the size. With its space saving design, the RX-S600 will fit nicely in tight spaces.

Total Purity Concept for the Finest Sound Quality

Enlarge

The Total Purity Concept, which Yamaha has been cultivating for many years, encompasses high drive amp technology, high purity pre-amplification, anti-vibration technology and independent pure power supplies. All models have a fully discrete power amplifier that helps to minimize distortion. They also adopt independent pure power supplies, allowing dedicated power supplies for the analog and digital circuitry to prevent digital noise from affecting analog circuitry. The anti-vibration heat sinks are designed to suppress vibration from transistors and sound pressure. Independent power supplies for the DACs are designed to further eliminate noise on certain models. Down to every detail, these AV receivers are designed with full emphasis on the highest possible sound quality.

Excellent Sound and Many Advanced Features in a Compact Body

The RX-S600 delivers audio performance at the head of its class, thanks to a revamped ground and power supply pattern, as well as meticulously selected and custom designed parts, such as the transformer and heat sink. It also features analog discrete amplifier construction, a low jitter PLL circuit and high power output. Other top-grade features include an aluminum front panel and high-grade, large screw-type speaker terminals.
