MARANTZPREMIUM SERIES PREMIUM SERIES
This third generation of the spectacular SA-11 features a brand new SACD two-disc mechanism and a new High Current Audiophile DAC. The result is
even finer, more delicate audio detail. But even before these new refinements, this player was already standards-setter of repute because it utilises
many of the advanced technologies that were originally developed for the Reference Series SA-7S1. For example, it uses the exclusive Marantz Musical
Mastering Filtering technology, which makes standard CDs sound as incredible as SACDs. It offers two filters for different tastes, not just for discs,
but for any digital signal. It also uses a high-end algorithm previously used only in professional recording studios. This type of filtering retains greater
detail for an even wider sound stage and a perfect balance. In addition, it provides 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 dampens vibration to an absolute minimum. There is also extensive copper-plating and system-block shielding to
keep the signal as clean as possible. You also get a high-quality headphone output featuring HDAM-SA2 and current feedback amplification. In addition,
we have included a USB input on the front panel for playback and recharging. The DAC mode offers three digital inputs – the USB-B works in asynchronous
mode when directly connected to the PC, plus coaxial and optical digital input. All of which means, 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. This is enjoyment to the extreme.
PREMIUM SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER
SA-11S3
This highly admired Premium amplifier is now in its third generation and is quite simply better than ever. That’s because we added new Marantz-original
high-quality, high-purity copper speaker terminals. There is also a new power amp direct input, and a new Marantz Remote App operation (iOS and Android)
via the Marantz control bus with Network player. These additions, and the many refinements we have made, not only improve the audio quality and
functionality of what was already a seriously impressive amp, but also ensure its success will continue for long into the future. Even before these
refinements, the PM-11 was packed with advanced technologies to give you the best in detail, precision, and emotion. The shielded Toroidal transformer
and customised components, ensure ultra-stable power output at 2x 100W into 8 ohms or 2x 200W into 4 ohms. Absolute signal integrity and very high
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, as well as 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-11S3 is a reflection of superiority.
