REFERENCE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER/SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER PM-11S1/SA-11S1 PM-11S1. A ground-up design, the PM-11S1 fulfills the promise of no-compromise sound with the finest wideband sources. It also preserves the simple yet elegant design that has distinguished Marantz for more than half a century. An unequalled array of technology and craftsmanship reside inside the champagne-finished, copper-plated chassis. The PM-11S1's circuitry draws directly from the SC-7S1 preamplifier and MA-9S1 monoblock power amplifier. A toroidal transformer forms the heart of a prodigious multi-segmented power supply that thoroughly isolates each stage and allows the wideband amplifier section to double its output as speaker impedance drops. All inputs and outputs, including the MM/MC phono, are buffered with Marantz's HDAM-SA modules to insures satin-smooth signal transfer. The precision Wolfson WM8816 volume control and WBT speaker terminals merely hint at further refinements. A floating control bus synchronizes multiple PM-11S1s for use in the finest multi-channel music systems. • SC-7S1/MA-9S1 Inherited Design • Massive Hybrid Toroidal Transformer • Choke Input System Power Supply Circuit • Fully Balanced Pre-Amplifier Construction • Dual Mono-block Power Amplifier Construction • Evolved New HDAM® SA2 • High-precision Liner Volume Control • Marantz F.C.B.S (Floating Control Bus System) for the Ultimate Multi-Ch Configuration • Zero Noise LCD Display • System (Amp/SACD) Remote SA-11S1. This is the ultimate music disc player. The SA-11S1 joins other products in Marantz's vaunted Reference Series to fulfill the dream of every music-conscious audiophile: A system that simply passes music from the artist's mind to the listener's ear. The heavy copper-plated chassis damps unwanted mechanical resonances while it shields delicate internal circuits from destructive radio frequency and electromagnetic radiation. The resonance-free disc mechanism provides an ultra-stable platform for both disc and laser optical system. In addition to Marantz's proprietary HDAM-SA signal transfer modules, audio path circuits boast custom-selected and, in some cases, custom-made internal components chosen for their combined contribution to overall signal quality. Output filters, long the downfall of other supposedly "top shelf" players, are custom-configured and individually selectable for both SACD and conventional CD playback. The result? Sound from your treasured CDs approaches that of today's most advanced SACDs! • New Precision Drive Mechanism with vibration Free Stabilizing Plate • Accurate Selectable Digital Filters • Over-sized Toroidal Transformer • Triple HDAM®/Channel Construction • PEC (Phase Error Compensation) Circuit to Eliminate the Phase Delay Error • Gold Plated Solid Brass Terminals • Zero Noise LCD Display • Device Remote 23
