Marantz PM-15S1 2007 Reference Catalog - Page 3

Amplification Marantz has demonstrated their love of music, engineering mastery, and desire to share the "Marantz sound" for well over 50 years. Saul Marantz amplifier designs were known the world over for their musical reproduction of sound, their reliability, and their aesthetics. Now, perhaps more than at any point in the history of Marantz, the vision of Saul Marantz is being realized. Saul Marantz was, and still is highly revered around the globe, and especially in Japan's audio community. Many of the engineers that worked with and came to know Saul now comprise a great deal of the Marantz design and engineering management teams. They strive to build audio equipment to not only their own high standards, but to Saul Marantz's standards as well. Every new piece is considered a tribute to the legend. Listen to a Marantz Reference amplifier. Hear the dedication. Experience the passion. All Marantz Reference amplifiers incorporate the following: HDAM-High Definition Amplifier Modules-HDAMS take the place of the integrated circuit chip or op amp gain stages that many "high end" amplifiers implement. Replacing all these devices in the front stages of our amplifiers with hand selected discrete components are a primary factor in our success with amplifier technology, and the heart of "The Marantz Sound" Linear volume control-All Control Amplifiers, and Integrated Amplifiers utilize highly accurate linear volume controls for optimum accuracy and minimal phase error. Non resonant Chassis- All Marantz Reference employ dual bottom plates, most have a copper plated chassis as well. In addition to completing the chassis off in a beautiful finish, the chassis means more to Marantz product than just a pretty face. This combination of technologies shield the component from noise, as well as minimize vibration. MA-9S2 HDAM
