Pursuit of Perfect Accuracy. This has been the passion of the Marantz company since the days of Saul Marantz building units by hand over half a century ago. This commitment
to the reproduction of sound has motivated us to produce some of the finest audio components in the history of consumer electronics. Desire has
pushed us to stay at the forefront of the industry, to build the best of today, and the legends of tomorrow.
Marantz has enjoyed setting the benchmark for both Disc Players a nd Amplifiers, then as we listen and learn more, design and build even better to
set the bar even higher. Case in point, the Legendary Marantz Mo del 9 mono block amplifiers, so awe inspiring, NASA utilized a version of them in
the Apollo space program. As monolithic as the Model 9s were in their day, the current incant ation, the MA-9S2s are beyond belief.
The MA-9S2s serve as the flagship to a full line of Marantz amplifiers and are so well engineered, with sound quality as well a s reliability in mind,
that the Marantz Sound has become the choice of music lovers of all budgets, on all continents.
As impressive as our amplifier history is, our disc player heritage is even greater. For starters, Marantz introduced the very first CD player to the
world, the top loading CD-63. A few years later, Marantz again in troduced a first, the CD-12. The CD-12 was the first two piece CD player in the
US, so once again Marantz sets the benchmark. Some years later, continuing our desire to lead, and not forsake those music lovers on a budget,
Marantz introduced the SA-8260, one of the least expensive player s to ever reach popular magazines Class A recommendations.
Yet another benchmark in Marantzs favor. In 2006, Marantz once again gave their engineering staff a dream assignment-build the worlds best
SACD Player-again. The resulting SA-7S1 provid ed just that. With multiple innovations, the SA-7S1 is destined to become another Legend.
Let Marantz build a legend for you.

Amplification
Marantz has demonstrated their love of music, engineering mastery, and desire to share the Marantz sound for well over 50 yea rs. Saul Marantz
amplifier designs were known the world over for their musical re production 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 Japans audio community. Many of the engineer s that worked with and came to know Saul now
comprise a great deal of the Marantz design and engineering mana gement teams. They strive to build audio equipment to not only their own high
standards, but to Saul Marantzs standards as well. Ev ery new piece is considered a tribute to the legend.
Listen to a Marantz Reference amplifier. Hear the dedication. Experience the passion.
All Marantz Reference amplifie rs 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 de vices 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 high ly accurate linear volume controls for optimum accuracy and
minimal phase error.
Non resonant Chassis - All Marantz Reference employ dual bottom pl ates, 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 techn ologies shield the
component from noise, as well as minimize vibration.
