ENGLISH

This unit was developed with many of the same functions as the flagship model SC-7S2, without compromising the sound quality.

¶HDAM-SA3

The HDAM-SA3 is an amp module equipped with a new circuit that has further improved stability from the previous HDAM-SA and HDAM-SA2. The HDAM-SA3 is an essential part of this unit’s amp module, incorporated into many components such as the current-voltage converter and input buffer.

¶Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer

The new phono equalizer keeps current feedback constant from low to high frequency, and supports both MC and MM cartridges. This has enabled problems in sound quality found in conventional NFB type phono equalizers that resulted from differences in the amount of NFB in the bass and treble regions to be overcome.

¶Balanced Linear Control Volume

The newly developed balanced output type volume control amplifier incorporates a combination of the WM8816 by Wolfson with the Marantz original current-feedback amplifier. This balanced linear control amplifier is a high performance amplifier that allow to control the sound volume and to convert the balance signal.

¶Balanced Input Headphone System

This is a balanced input current feedback headphone amplifier newly developed for use with the Balanced Linear Control Volume. This power amplifier is special combination of a high quality sound operational amplifier and discrete current- feedback type amplifier specifically for headphone use.

¶Input Buffer

With the exception of the PHONO input, each input has its own input buffer that directly uses HDAM-SA3 technology. You will experience superb sound with unbelievable channel separation.

¶Choke Input Power Circuit

This unit incorporates a choke input power circuit in order to thoroughly eliminate high frequency noise from the rectifier circuit and external sources. The choke input power supply is a powerful, clean power circuit that stores electrical power in the coil and capacitor, and then supplies it to the amplifier circuit.

¶Tone Control

This unit is equipped with an electronic tone control circuit that adjusts the sound balance using the remote control unit. This tone control circuit can be precisely adjusted with the Balance Linear Control Volume.

¶Subsonic Filter

Subsonic signals are intercepted in the cut-off frequency 15Hz (12dB/oct) by the subsonic filter.The subsonic filter is an active filter used in the HDAM-SA3.

¶F.C.B.S.

A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the user to connect up to four units, making a diversity of applications possible with bi-amp and multi-channel connections. Moreover, a ground loop is not formed between multiple connected amplifiers, therefore sound quality is not adversely affected.

¶BI-AMP Mode

The operating mode that uses the complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz. Complete bi-amp allows two SC-11S1 to be connected by F.C.B.S. enabling each to work as a monaural Integrated amplifier.

¶Display

This unit adopts an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display input source and volume level. Compared to other types of display panels, an LCD generates less drive noise and radiation noise, hence the interference in sound quality is minimal.

¶Remote Power Control

This unit is equipped with a trigger output jack that can simultaneously operate the power ON/OFF control of a Marantz SM-11S1 power amplifier in sync with the power ON/OFF control of this unit. Up to two SM-11S1 can be connected to this unit. As with the F.C.B.S. a ground floating connection is made without a ground loop being formed, therefore sound

quality is not adversely affected.
