R-S202D II Black
Description
There is a Japanese concept: the space between sounds, the pause that fills music with meaning. Yamaha knows about it more than anyone else - for over 125 years, the company has been making the instruments that are played and the amplifiers through which these instruments breathe. The R-S202D II is the entry point into this world. Without excess. With everything you need.
The concept of "Natural Sound" at Yamaha is not a marketing slogan, but a design principle. Signal paths are reduced to a minimum, the power transformer is placed close to the amplifier stage - so that energy losses do not eat up the dynamics and the power peak is always ready to strike. The grounding point of the signal and power circuits is one - and this is no small thing: this is how mutual guidance that spoils the background silence is eliminated. The signal-to-noise ratio is 100 dB. Distortion at 50 W/8 Ohms is 0.02%. These are the numbers that are heard.
Power - 100 W per channel in continuous playback mode, peak - 180 W. Playback range - from 10 to 100,000 Hz. The R-S202D II confidently holds acoustics of any nature and does not lose control even under difficult loads.
On the rear panel are four RCA stereo line inputs and a line output for recording. Two independent speaker outputs (A, B or A+B) allow you to connect two pairs of speakers or organize a two-cable connection for one pair. On the front panel is a 6.3 mm headphone jack and the usual bass/treble tone controls.
Bluetooth with support for SBC and AAC codecs allows you to stream music from a smartphone wirelessly and without compromising on quality. The built-in DAB/DAB+ and FM tuner with 40 station memory turns the receiver into a full-fledged home audio center - from streaming to the highest quality broadcast.
The front panel with a characteristic hairline finish, ergonomic handles, and a laconic display - the R-S202D II looks exactly how Japanese equipment should look: confident, without frills, with a sense of self-esteem. It fits organically into any rack and harmonizes with other components - whether it's a vinyl turntable, CD player, or streamer.
