ENGLISH F.C.B.S. connection The Marantz F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is the high quality sound system for link control between multiple PM-10 units (up to 4 units). Each unit is controlled via its ID number registered beforehand. The ID numbers need to be set to an operating unit (master) and a subordinate unit (slave) receiving the command from the master. For slave units, register ID numbers in the order of command reception from the master.
ENGLISH n How to set ID number for F.C.B.S. 1 While holding F.C.B.S. ID on the rear panel, press X. Turn INPUT SELECTOR on the unit to select 0 Stereo mode The setting is saved.

PM-10 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER the new reference
dedicated to det ail For many years, the Marantz Reference Series of MA-9, SC-7 and SA-7 has set the standards for playback and amplification: not only does it draw on all the expertise the company has developed over decades, it’s also the embodiment of the thinking underpinning every product the company makes, summed up in the simple phrase ‘because music matters’.
INTEGR ATED AMPLIFIER PM-10 INTEGR ATED AMPLIFIER 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.

INTEGR ATED AMPLIFIER Balanced, bridged power amplification For the PM-10, Marantz wanted the purest possible sound, plus the power and dynamics to drive and control some of the world’s most demanding speakers. To achieve this, they continued the balanced working found in the preamp stage right the way through to the power amplifier stage to its speaker outputs, and also adopted bridged working to develop the power required while maintaining that balanced design.
