It is the only integrated amplifier in Yamaha’s A-S range that has one, it sits at the top of the rear panel ahead of the phono input, and Yamaha publishes a 114 dB signal-to-noise figure for it against 110 dB for the CD input. Yamaha describes the whole amplifier as a fully balanced circuit design from input to speaker output — a step on from the A-S1200’s floating balanced power amplifier wording. Internal speaker wiring is PC-Triple C at 2.7 mm diameter, the speaker terminals are pure brass hand-tightening posts, and the chrome-plated brass feet are welded directly to the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet expectations correctly on power. The A-S2200 and the A-S1200 carry identical rated output — 90 watts into 8 ohms and 150 into 4, both at 0.07% distortion. On Yamaha’s own numbers this is not a more powerful amplifier than the one below it. It is a build and connectivity upgrade: the balanced input, double the headphone output at 50 mW a side with a four-position gain trim, the PC-Triple C wiring, and the brass hardware. Anyone shopping on wattage alone should know that before spending the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono stage, level meters, tone controls and MAIN IN \/ PRE OUT arrangement are as on the A-S1200: switchable moving-magnet and moving-coil on one input pair, ±0.5 dB RIAA, switchable peak and VU meters with a dimmer. As on the A-S1200 there are no digital inputs of any kind and no DAC, and Yamaha’s own documentation shows neither a Pure Direct button nor a loudness control — a third-party review reports a −20 dB audio mute switch in that position instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso note the 0.07% distortion condition on the power rating. It is roughly four times looser than the 0.019% figure used for the A-S301 through A-S801, so a straight wattage comparison between this amplifier and the smaller models is not meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR input — the only A-S integrated amplifier with one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e114 dB signal-to-noise ratio on the balanced input, Yamaha’s quietest published input in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced circuit design from input to speaker output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e625 VA toroidal power transformer and Mechanical Ground Concept chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePC-Triple C internal speaker wiring, 2.7 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable moving-magnet and moving-coil phono with ±0.5 dB RIAA accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable peak \/ VU level meters with dimmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 mW + 50 mW headphone output with −6 \/ 0 \/ +6 \/ +12 dB gain trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure brass hand-tightening speaker terminals and chrome-plated brass feet welded to the chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAIN IN and PRE OUT allow use as a separate preamplifier or power amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50.0 lb (22.7 kg) chassis, available in silver or black with piano black side panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-channel integrated amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated power output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 W + 90 W into 8 ohms and 150 W + 150 W into 4 ohms, both 20 Hz – 20 kHz at 0.07% THD.

Yamaha states that warranty registration is not required for coverage. The warranty is enforceable only by the original purchaser and is not transferable. The owner pays shipping to the service centre; Yamaha covers return shipping on a covered repair. Yamaha’s US warranty index separately links an Additional Promotional Warranty for select A-S models (A-S3200, A-S1200 and A-S2200) offering three further years — five in total — on registration of the model and serial number with a free Yamaha account. We could not confirm from the promotion page whether it remains open to new purchases, so we quote the base two-year term above and suggest checking current eligibility with Yamaha at the time of purchase. A separate registration-based “2+3” extension reported in 2025 applies to Australia and Europe only and does not apply here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":42362718650574,"sku":"027108958367","price":5799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":42362718683342,"sku":"027108958606","price":5799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/4793168.648.A_1_1.jpg?v=1706135023","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/de\/products\/yamaha-a-s2200-integrated-amplifier","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
