Plays Nicely with Everything

3rd-Party Control

The QS supports IP control by 3rd-party control systems used in many of today's most advanced smart homes.

There's an (Amazing) App for It

It's also easy to set up and control with the free MusicCast app, which offers unique personalisation features including the ability to assign custom images to rooms, and to rename, rearrange and hide sources.

Engineered to Sound Extraordinary

Audiophile-Grade Amplification

No ordinary amp, the QS employs ultra-efficient ICEpower integrated circuits to deliver eight channels of pristine, musically-dynamic digital amplification at 50 watts/channel (8 ohms) with an outstanding 10 Hz to 22 kHz (+0/-3 dB) frequency response and 106 dB signal-to-noise ratio.

It is 4 ohm capable at 100 watts/channel and bridgeable to 200 watts/channel (8 ohms).

Goodbye Ground Loop Hum

The curse of the custom integrator: ground loop hum, a common and vexing side effect of connecting a bunch of electronics together in a rack.

The QS takes care of it with a brilliantly-engineered differential circuit design. Sometimes it's what you don't hear that sounds the most amazing.

High-Resolution Audio

Experience every detail of your favourite recordings.

The QS supports high-res audio playback up to 192 kHz/24-bit, and employs the same premium ESS Sabre DACs (Digital-to-Analogue Converters) and PML capacitors used in our flagship AVENTAGE AV receivers.

Uniquely Yamaha

The audio performance of the QS is further enhanced with a suite of exclusive Yamaha technologies, including our Compressed Music Enhancer, Advanced Bass Extension Processing and volume adaptive EQ.

The result - it always sounds great.
