- Key Specs
- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 120W x 2 @ 4
- Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
- Audio Only Inputs: Unbalanced RCA
- Network Connector(s): No network connectors

- Audio
- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 120W x 2 @ 4
- Total Power Handling: 240 watts (How much amplifier (amplified) power (wattage) that can be handled before damaging the product.)
- Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 10 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.7 percent (Measurement of the harmonic sound distortion. The lower the percentage, the cleaner the sound.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 100 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Amplifier Class: A (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
- Amplifier Type: Integrated amplifiers
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 95 decibels (The ratio of the desired signal's strength to the level of background noise. A ratio higher than 1:1, which equates to greater than 0 decibels, indicates more signal than noise.)
- Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
- Inputs
- Audio Only Inputs: Unbalanced RCA
- Video Only Inputs: No video only inputs (The number and type of video signal only inputs the product has.)
- Network Connector(s): No network connectors
- Line-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as low-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device via RCA cables.)
- Outputs
- Speaker Connection Type: Banana Jack/Screw Terminals
- Video Only Outputs: No video only outputs (The number and type of video signal only outputs the product has.)
- Features
- Fan Cooled: true
- Bridgeable: false (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 6 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 17.1 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 15.25 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Weight: 22.7 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)

With ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology), this Yamaha A-S501 A-S501BL 2-channel integrated amplifier creates a direct signal path for clear audio transmission. Pure Direct mode delivers full-bodied, accurate sound reproduction.
- 240W maximum power: 120W x 2 @ 4 ohms, 1KHz, 0.7% THD for powerful sound. Also supports 170W RMS power (85W x 2 @ 8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.019% THD).
- Speaker A, B or A+B selection: Plus speaker terminals for up to 2 systems allows you to connect to speaker systems in different rooms and easily switch between them or play the same audio in multiple areas simultaneously.
- ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology): Utilizes a direct signal path, ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base, solid center bar and custom-made power transformer to offer rich, high-quality sound.
- Pure Direct mode: Bypasses the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls for pure sound.
- Plug-and-play setup: Simplifies installation.
- Continuously variable loudness control: Allows you to select a desired volume level, provides optimal tonal balance at most listening levels and compensates for natural loss at high and low frequencies when playing music at low levels.
- Compatible with YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless adapter (not included): So you can wirelessly stream music with crystal clarity from compatible audio sources.

Q: Is there a phono line in with this model, so it can serve as an amplifier for a turntable?
A: Yes there is one phono imput and a ground to connect a turntable...
A: It takes banana plugs or you can bare wire twist
Q: can-you-connect-a-tape-recorder-on-this-unit?
A: Yes you can. It has the REC inputs and outputs needed to connect a cassette deck.
A: I wanted to use my SweetVinyl SugarCube SC-1 Mini magnetic cartridge turntable noise reduction device which needs the same inputs and outputs you require. After a few hours of trying every hookup I could imagine, my answer is no to your question. I have old Bose 901's and the EQ so I am very familiar with the scenario you have in mind. Sorry!
Q: How does this compare to the Yamaha 1020A?
A: undefined
