PM-15S1G

REFERENCE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

Inspired by the already legendary SC-7/MA-9 combination and derived from the top class PM-11S1 we are proud to present thenew Marantz PM-15S1. Coupling impressive design with outstanding performance we feel our engineers have created a worthy

successor to the

PM-17SA. The amplifier is built according to the

new

Marantz premium design

without

any

visible

screws,

a heavy double layer chassis and a slightly

blue illuminated front. The 3-stage construction

with full Current Feedback and with

short, symmetrical

signal paths,independent

left and right heatsinks,

and

new HDAM-SA2’s

ensure

dynamic

sound and

perfect

stereo imaging. Best components, reduction

of external noise and other improvements further

extend the quality.

Derived from

the PM-11S1 we are using the electronic

linear volume control WM8816 from Wolfson.

The

PM-15S1 reflects

our engineers’

passion for pure music, designed with the true audiophile in mind.
