Marantz PM10S1 / Marantz PM-10S1 AMplifier

PM-10
Integrated amplifier
The new reference class Integrated amplifier
Four switching power amplifier channels in bridged mode (two per channel) for maximum grip and drive
True Balanced Concept from input to speaker to realise ground-free signal management
Massive power: 200Wpc per channel into 8ohms, and 400Wpc into 4ohms
Wide-ranging dynamic ability thanks to instant high-current power supply
Fully balanced throughout: both preamplifier and power amplifiers
Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM) in preamp stage
Dual mono power amplifier configuration
Separate power supplies for preamplifier and control processor, and for each power amp channel
Discrete phono stage for moving coil and moving magnet cartridges in its own shielded case.
High-quality construction with double-layer chassis, 5mm thick aluminium top lid, solid aluminium front, copper plated chassis and high-purity copper speakers terminals
Double thickness copper PCB for the output section and main power supplies
Amplifiers are at the core of Marantz history:
its very first product was a high-quality preamplifier designed to make the most of the then-new LP record format. And with a history stretching all the way to that ground-breaking Audio Consolette – which Saul B Marantz started manufacturing in 1952, and which soon became the first real Marantz product.
The PM-10 uses a fully balanced layout, from the input section all the way through to the final power amplifier section: it has two sets of balanced inputs, and also conventional unbalanced line-level inputs (plus a high-quality phono stage), the signal from these inputs being converted to balanced working before being passed through the amplifier. It delivers 2x200W into an 8ohm load, and can easily cope with demanding speakers or those whose impedance varies widely with frequency, thanks to a 2x400W output into 4ohms.
