HDAM-SA3 is the latest version of the Marantz HDAM
original high-speed voltage amplifier module and
is used in the PM-KI PEARL LITE amplifier circuits.
This achieves high-speed sound with a slew rate of
200V/µsec or higher, which greatly exceeds that of
general op-amps.

Tri-Tone Control Function
This is a 3 band (Bass, Mid, Treble) tone control function
that in addition to controlling the low frequency and
high frequency bands, also controls the mid frequency
band, which is the band of vocals and fundamental
instrument pitches to which the human ear is most
sensitive. Use this function to adjust the sound quality
to that preferred for the conditions of various sound
sources. The tone control circuit employs an active
filter that gives priority to sound quality. All of the
frequency characteristics in the center position are fl at.
Fully discrete current feedback amplifi er
The fully discrete configuration current feedback
amplifi er circuit that characterizes Marantz Hi-Fi amps
is used on the preamp and power amp. This creates
an excellent amplifi er circuit that is high speed, has a
high S/N ratio, and has a low distortion rate.
Dual shield low leakage fl ux toroidal transformer
The PM-KI PEARL LITE is equipped with a toroidal power
transformer, which has high capacity and low vibration
and leakage fl ux. Leakage fl ux has a particularly negative
effect on sound quality, so an aluminum short ring and
silicon steel plate core ring are used to provide a dual
shield to suppress leakage flux. An additional measure
taken to thoroughly eliminate the factors that negatively
affect sound quality was to use non-magnetic brass
mounting bolts to block magnetic fi eld loops.
The Phono Equalizer supports MM cartridges that use
the Constant Current Feedback Circuit developed for
the SC-11S1 Premium Control Amplifi er. The previous
NFB Phono Equalizer was subject to different negative
feedback amounts depending on the frequency band,
which caused the problem of different sound qualities
for the low frequency and high frequency ranges.
The Constant Current Feedback circuit uses the
frequency characteristics in the open loop as the
RIAA curve on which it places the feedback via the
RIAA network to obtain the RIAA characteristics.
This achieves a constant negative feedback amount
from the low to high frequencies to provide a smooth
sound without variance in sound quality throughout all
frequency bands.
