The SC-7S2 thoroughly updates the distinctive voice of the original Marantz Model 7 preamplifer and further improves on the acclaimed
SC-7S1. This work of art defnes new horizons in both musical performance and contemporary elegance. It is an enduring testament to
the synergy of todays technologies with frequency response and channel separation far exceeding conventional requirements.
The SC-7S2 achieves these goals with a fully balanced current-feedback topology and a power supply based on a aluminum-encased toroid
power transformer, Shottky barrier rectifer diodes, and low-ESR electrolytic storage capacitors for optimal power conditioning and
distribution. Each input is fully bufered with Marantz-developed discrete circuitry for accurate signal transfer. Four Wolfson WM8816
high-precision multi-gang volume controls and 12 Marantz-proprietary HDAM-SA modules form an incredibly precise attenuation
circuit fully capable of 0.5 dB resolution throughout its entire 100 dB range. Although the SC-7S2 is devoutly two-channel, it acknowledges
multi-channel music with a foating bus (our F.C.B.S.) that allows you to control multiple units simultaneously for exciting multi-channel
reproduction of any source.
The copper-plated aluminum chassis provides exceptional dimensional stability while copper and steel sub-members ofer isolation from
radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interferences (EMI). Adjustable muting and trim let you tailor the SC7S2 to your preferences.
You can turn of the display to totally reduce potential distractions. And a Marantz system remote control lets you enjoy the SC7S2s
exceptional performance from your favorite listening/viewing location.
