Current Feed Amplification: Current Feedback amplification, a renowned Marantz-proprietary circuit technology, is thoughtfully designed to match the requirements of Super Audio hi-res music for wide-bandwidth, high-speed reproduction. The impedance at the Current Feedback point is limited, generating a very low phase shift. Marantz Current Feedback amplifiers reduce the need for phase compensation by minimizing Negative Feedback (NFB). This simplifies the signal path and results in a high through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency across the full bandwidth. Unlike conventional Voltage Feedback topology, Current Feedback renders the power amplifier nearly immune to difficult loudspeaker loads.
- 8-Ohm Rating: 60 watts x 2 channel at 20Hz to 20kHz with 0.02% THD
- 4-Ohm Rating: 80 watts x 2 channel at 20Hz to 20kHz with 0.02% THD
Marantz HDAM-S3 Technology: Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards called Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules, or HDAMs, to replace the chip-based amps used elsewhere. Using discrete surface mount components with short mirror-image left and right signal paths, HDAMs outperform the regular integrated Op-amps dramatically in Slew Rate and noise level. The result is much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years, Marantz developed different HDAMs to fit the particular requirements of each player and amplifier. The PM7000N uses the high-grade SA3 version.
Toroidal Transformer: A Toroidal transformer offers several advantages that derive from its efficiency and power capability. The shape of it lends to low levels of electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibration, producing improved sound quality over what you might experience with dated transformer models.
Separate Power Supply Circuits: In order to reduce power consumption in stand-by, the PM7000N features dual power supply circuits. While in standby, the digital SMPS power supply is active so the network can wake up the PM7000N. When switching to operation mode, the SMPS power is switched off and the toroidal transformer is activated to supply the necessary high-current to reproduce the Marantz sonic signature.
Electronic Volume Control with HDAM: A newly developed electric volume control uses the latest volume control IC coupled with Marantz HDAM to deliver better channel separation, dynamic range, improved S/N ratio and distortion-reduction, while retaining the operational feel of an analog volume control device. The amplifier employs new Marantz-designed electric volume control for high linearity and best-in-class channel separation.
Shielded Digital Circuit: To preserve the analog circuit from digital interferences or noise radiation, the digital circuit is installed into a shield case, preventing interference. The wireless digital boards can also be completely switched off independently using "Pure Modes" to avoid any interferences.
Audio Controls: The Marantz PM7000N integrated amplifier offers Bass & Treble adjustment, 3 Pure Modes, a Source Direct Function, and an adjustable Volume Limit.
- Bass & Treble: You can manually adjust the integrated amplifier's Bass (50Hz) and Treble (15kHz) from -10dB to +10dB.
- Pure Modes: The PM7000N is equipped with three "Pure Modes", allowing you to disable entire broadcasting audio blocks and prevent interference when listening to analog sources. Pure Modes can be individually switched off between network & USB-A, WiFi and/or Bluetooth to provide the best musical experience.
- Source Direct Function: To ensure the shortest signal path and highest fidelity, the PM7000N features Marantz Source Direct function, which bypasses the tone and balance control circuitry for a straight path, delivering elevated sound purity.
- Volume Limit: The integrated amplifier's Volume Limit can be set to 80, 85, 90, 95, or Off (100/Max).
Optical & Coaxial Digital Inputs: The Marantz PM7000N is outfitted with two optical (toslink) digital inputs and one coaxial (RCA) digital input. The optical and coaxial digital inputs support 2ch PCM audio files, up to 24-bit/192kHz (not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS). The integrated amplifier powers up automatically when sensing a digital input from a TV.
Analog Inputs & Outputs: The Marantz network integrated amplifier features three stereo RCA line-level analog inputs and one stereo RCA line-level analog output.
MM Phono Input: The Marantz PM7000N is equipped with a MM Phono input to connect a turntable. The PM7000N integrates a FET (field-effect transistors) in its Phono input stage. This provides high input impedance, eliminates the need for AC coupling capacitors, and simplifies the signal path, lowering distortion and noise vastly improving the signal purity overall.
High Quality Binding Posts: The network integrated amplifier features a set of heavy-duty, dense brass binding post speaker output terminals with thick silver plating to provide the best possible contact and signal transfer with your speaker cables. The binding post terminals will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG, pin-connectors, and banana plus (single only). You can connect a pair of 8-ohm or 4-ohm loudspeakers.
Mono Subwoofer Output: The Marantz PM7000N is outfitted with a mono-RCA subwoofer output for connecting a powered subwoofer. The integrated amplifier has a variable low pass subwoofer crossover that can be set to 40, 60, 80, 100, or 120Hz.
1/4" Headphone Jack: The PM7000N features a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack to plug in your set of headphones (the speakers will automatically mute when headphones are plugged in).
