The Yamaha CX-10000 Control Amplifier displayed the thorough engineering and ergonomic planning that made it a pleasure to use and listen to for wealthy audiophiles. All functions could be controlled by the touch of the respective buttons, or any of the functions could be controlled using the infrared remote (see the separate page for the remote). the only knob on the face of the unit was the volume knob. Like the power amplifier, the CX-10000 featured a striking amber display. It had a list price to match the MX-10000, of 800,000 yen.

Removing the top cover of the CX-10000 shows the clean, logical layout of the power supplies, circuit board and electronic modules. Clearly, the Yamaha CX-10000 Control Amplifier was designed for many years, even decades, of musical listening pleasure and pride of ownership.

Yamaha went to extraordinary lengths to isolate all means of electrical and electronic interference that might affect the audio quality of this unit. This detail of the interior of the electronic modules show this.  The specifications for the CX-10000 are listed below.
