Yamaha’s use of elegantly designed switches and knobs on the front panel present more than just input changes or volume adjustments. They serve as a connection between the owner and the engineer, a beautiful, highly tactile surface reflecting the obsessive care of the engineers, passed directly to the listener.
Visually presenting dynamics and pulse of the music, large meters imbue a warm feeling through their softly illuminated LEDs. The glass window is cut diagonally and precision-fit to the back surface of the front panel, leaving no gaps or screws achieving an exceptionally luxurious look and feel.
