Thanks to Yamaha’s superior sound processing technologies, you’ll enjoy great sound from all your music sources — no matter what their quality, or your listening environment, or the kind of speakers you’re using.

When listening to audio from smartphones or other compressed sources, the Compressed Music Enhancer greatly improves the sound at all frequency levels.

Volume-adaptive EQ automatically adjusts the bass / treble balance according to the volume level.

Advanced Bass Extension provides a deeper, richer low-end sound — it’s great for compact or in-wall speakers.

And a Direct Mode allows you to play back high-resolution audio sources just as they are without any processing.

The WXA-50 reaps the benefits of Yamaha’s advanced audio technologies and circuit designs.

The preamp circuitry, for example, minimises digital jitter and uses the same high performance ESS DAC that is found in high-end AV receivers.

Yamaha’s proprietary power supply ground configuration, called DAC on Pure Ground, ensures that the power supply will never negatively affect sound quality.

The 48-bit digital volume control provides much greater precision and quality that conventional digital or analogue controls. In addition, a highly rigid, metal chassis supplies the stability necessary for powerful, clearmusic reproduction.

The WXA-50 consumes less than two watts of power in standby mode, When the power is on, power consumption is still a low 15 W, and even when used for long periods, powerconsumption is environmentally friendly.

In addition, the Auto Power Down lets you save energyby having the power automatically turned off after 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours.

The WXA-50 offers various custom installation functions, so by using several units it’s easy to create an extensive home audio system.

With a width of 214 mm (8-3/8") and height of 42 mm (1-5/8") (without feet), this component will fit easily intoa 1U (19-inch) rack.
