STANDBY

FEATURES

This 8-channel power ampliﬁ er comes with upgraded functions and supports the latest format of surround sound without compromising the design technology of Marantz's ﬂ agship models.

Current feedback type of discrete power ampliﬁ er with high sound quality

The MM8003 features in all 8 channels the current feedback type of power ampliﬁ er, which uses the complementary push-pull circuitry incorporated in Marantz's SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Amplifier. This improves the model's operating stability and enables it to achieve high-density, high-speed sound reproduction across a wide sound range. In the rear section the power ampliﬁ er is a current/ voltage conversion amplifier unit that employs a Wilson current mirror circuit for amplifying sound up to the treble range at low distortion levels.

Improved instantaneous current supply capability

In the rear section of the power amplifier is the LAPT (high-performance power transistor), which is featured in Marantz's model SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Ampliﬁ er. This device improves the instantaneous current supply capability. Copper bus bars are featured in the unit that supplies the power to each channel. The power supply unit has a large toroidal transformer that delivers low levels of noise and leakage ﬂ ux thanks to its internal structural features such as its laminated core, silicon steel-plated core ring,etc., and the use of its shielded casing. Original Marantz parts with a combined capacitance of 100,000 µF (50,000µF/71V × 2), which have been specially crafted to achieve the maximum in terms of sound quality, are employed in the block capacitor, a key component of the power supply unit. Thanks to the improvements in the current supply capability of these parts, you can enjoy high-powered sound brimming with ambiance.

High-sound-quality design based on the pure surround concept

A chimney-type heat sink and extremely quiet cooling fan deal with the heat that is discharged from the 8-channel ampliﬁ er to a high degree of efﬁ ciency. A high-precision temperature sensor IC is used to adjust the rotational speed of the cooling fan in response to the changes in the amount of heat generated by the ampliﬁ er. These features together make for lavish speciﬁ cations well suited to the ampliﬁ er's use in high-end theater systems, which are engineered to ensure virtually noiseless operation. The ampliﬁ er's chassis is copper-plated to protect the analog audio circuitry from high-frequency noise. This is an important technological aspect for reproducing sound without compromising the delicately nuanced sound ﬁ elds of Super Audio. In addition, top-of-the-line audio capacitors, film capacitors and other high-quality components are used to achieve a high-sound-quality design.

BALANCED/UNBALANCED switching function

This function makes it possible to select BALANCED or UNBALANCED input each channel depending on the application.

Remote power control

By connecting the amplifier to Marantz's model AV8003 AV pre-tuner, the ampliﬁ er's power can be switched on or off in tandem with the power on/off operation of the AV8003 using the remote power control function. A ﬂ oating ground connection that doesn’t form a ground loop is used for the connection with the AV8003 so the sound quality is not adversely affected.

Other functions

Also provided are an IR ﬂ asher input connector to support customized installation, and DC trigger input connector and output connectors.

BEFORE USE

This section must be read before any connection is made to the mains supply.
