Features

HDAM®SA3 Module

This unit includes the HDAM®SA3 which had been developed for high-end models. The HDAM®SA3 is incorporated into many components, such as the current feedback phono equalizer.

Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer

This unit incorporates the constant current feedback phono equalizer which had been developed for high-end models. This equalizer, developed by Marantz, has the advantages of both NF-type and CR-type phono equalizers, and it supports both MM and MC cartridges.

Linear Control Volume

The control knob had adopted the high-end model design concept. For better S/N ratio, the MAS6116 from Micro Analog Systems and the HDAM®SA3 have been combined, which enables smooth adjustment in the range of 0 to −100 dB in units of ±0.5 dB.

F.C.B.S.

A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the user to connect up to four PM-14S1 units, making a diversity of applications possible with complete bi-amp and multichannel connections. Moreover, a ground loop is not formed among multiple PM-14S1 units connected; therefore, sound quality is not adversely affected.

BI-AMP Mode

Complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz enables a level of reproduction of the acoustic field never before achieved. Synchronized operation of two PM-14S1 units is made possible by F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) connection, with each PM-14S1 in Bi-Amp mode working as a monaural integrated amplifier.

Power Amplifier Direct In Mode

In this mode, this unit works as a power amplifier. This mode will be useful in home theater systems.

Display

This unit adopts an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the input source and volume level. Compared with other types of display panels, an LCD requires less drive power and generates less radiation noise, which minimizes any adverse effect on sound quality.

PM-14S1 specifications

The Marantz PM-14S1 is a high-performance integrated amplifier that exemplifies the brand’s commitment to audio quality and innovation. Combining excellent build quality with advanced technologies, this amplifier has gained a loyal following among audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike.

At the heart of the PM-14S1 is its dual-mono configuration, which effectively isolates left and right channels to minimize crosstalk and distortion. This design feature ensures that audio signals maintain their integrity throughout the amplification process, delivering a pure and immersive listening experience. The amplifier boasts a robust power output, with a rating of 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, making it capable of driving a wide range of speakers with ease.

One of the key technologies integrated into the PM-14S1 is Marantz’s HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module), which is designed to replace traditional op-amps with discrete components. This innovative approach enhances the amplifier's dynamic range and overall audio fidelity while reducing noise and distortion. As a result, listeners can enjoy a more natural soundstage and richer musical details.

The PM-14S1 also features a high-quality phono stage, compatible with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. This built-in phono preamp allows vinyl enthusiasts to connect their turntables directly to the amplifier, ensuring that the warmth and character of analog recordings are preserved. Additionally, the amplifier supports a variety of input options, including multiple line-level inputs and a balanced XLR input, enhancing versatility for various audio sources.

Marantz has engineered the PM-14S1 with a thoughtful focus on user experience. The elegant design, complete with a premium aluminum front panel, gives it a sophisticated aesthetic that matches its performance pedigree. The amplifier is also equipped with a simple and intuitive user interface, making it easy to navigate settings and select inputs.

Overall, the Marantz PM-14S1 stands out as a powerful and versatile integrated amplifier, offering exceptional sound quality and advanced technology in a stylish package. With its combination of dual-mono architecture, HDAM technology, and user-friendly features, it meets the needs of discerning audiophiles and casual listeners alike, making it a noteworthy addition to any high-fidelity audio system. Whether enjoying vinyl records or digital sources, the PM-14S1 delivers a rewarding and engaging musical experience.
