MARANTZ MARANTZ 3938 PREMIUM 11 SERIES PREMIUM 11 SERIES
People who have encountered the SA-11S2 often have just one thing to say: “extreme delicate detail”. That’s because it
has taken on board many of the advanced technologies that were originally developed for the Reference Series SA-7S1.
For example, it now uses the exclusive-to-Marantz Dynamic Digital Filtering technology, which makes standard CDs
sound as incredible as SACDs. There are three filter characteristics to cater for different tastes. The unit offers fully
balanced signal handling on short, symmetrical, and discrete circuit architecture as well as the HDAM-SA2 high-speed
amplifier module. The internal high-precision clock minimises jitter to the lowest possible level, while the rigid double-
layer chassis minimises vibration. Extensive copper-plating and system-block shielding keeps the signal as clean as
possible. In addition, you get balanced XLR, gold-plated RCA output terminals and a low-noise LCD. All of this means
that you get more detail, more precision and more emotion than ever – and all in a wide-open sound stage that
positions every instrument and vocalist with pin-point precision. It’s extremely enjoyable.
This adored member of the Marantz Premium Range is packed with advanced technologies to give you the best in detail,
precision, and emotion. Thanks to the shielded Toroidal transformer and customised components, it offers ultra-stable
power output at 2x 100W into 8 ohms or 2x 200W into 4 ohms. Absolute signal integrity and very low signal-to-noise
ratio is guaranteed via the 3-stage construction which includes a pre-amplifier and a dual stage main-amplifier, as well
an extra pre-amplifier for Phono MM/MC. Key technologies include the latest Marantz Current Feedback HDAM-SA3,
symmetrical circuitry with the shortest signal paths to deliver dynamic sound and perfect stereo imaging. The result is
an unbelievably wide sound stage, but with extremely precise positioning of instruments and vocals. In addition, the
chassis and rear panel are copper-plated to guarantee low impedance ground potential at any point for best possible
signal integrity. All of which means that the PM-11S2 is a vision of perfection.
