Marantz PM-14S1 HDAM & Current feedback Amp of Marantz Unique technolo - Page 7

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. 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. 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. ENGLISH 3 Appendix Tips Settings Playback Connections Preparation
