Enhanced musicality

In the long search for the perfect hi-fi, the Marantz philosophy is simple: to maintain the purity and integrity of the original signal at alltimes. This, we believe, is the only route to achieving true hi-fi sound quality.

At Marantz, we believemusic should be heard as originally intended by the artists, composers, and performers we admire. So when we design Premium Amplifiers, we begin by shortening signal pathways to minimise the possibility of distortion. Even our signal switches are built to audiophile specification with high quality contacts and electronic relay switched input circuitry, all in a sealed and dust-free environment. Power supplies are highly specified, using only top quality components. Left and right signal paths are symmetrical to ensure perfect imaging across the stereo field. Even the heatsinks are separated to minimise channel cro stalk. Thus, Premium Amplifiers deliver a broad and accurate soundstage, with each instrument perfectly focused in its position in the stereo picture.

We believe musical expression is at the heart of our search for perfect hi-fi. That’s why we design Premium components to deliver the truest possible rendering of musical dynamics. A Linear Drive Power Supply (LDPS) works in conjunction with current feedback amplification to act as a limitless reserve of power for Premium-Series Amplifiers. With this depth of power, even the most extreme dynamic moments are delivered with perfect expression.

Premium-Series Amplifiers are built to respond to the steepest signal attacks with incredible speed and accuracy, so none of the subtleties in the ebb and flow of the music are lost. The short, symmetrical signal paths and discrete surface-mount components of Marantz’s own Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM) make them superior to traditional integrated circuit Op-Amps – which have a poorer slew rate and are too-slow-acting to deliver the audio signal’s transient character faithfully.

Premium-Series Amplifiers encapsulate perfectly our determination to achieve the highest possible quality audio performance.
