The PM-11S1 is an integrated amplifier developed on the con­cepts of Marantz’s SC-7S1 and MA-9S1 flagship amplifiers.

•HDAMSA2

The HDAMSA2 is an evolved version of the HDAMSA incor­porated into the SC-7S1 and MA-9S1. It drives the phono
amplifier, balance buffer, line buffer, volume amplifier, voltage
amplifier and power buffer that comprise the PM-11S1.

Input Amplifier

• Current Feedback Phono Equalizer

The phono equalizer of the PM-11S1 supports MC/MM car­tridges and incorporates the first-ever current feedback circuit
used with a Marantz product. The newly designed circuitry
employs both Marantz’s previous HDAM
veloped HDAM

and the newly de-

• Current Feedback Balance Buffer

The PM-11S1 incorporates an HDAMSA2-driven current feed­back balance buffer that faithfully transfers signals from de­vices of quality balanced output such as super audio CD play­ers and D/A converters.

• Individual Input Buffer for Each Line
Input Jack

Each the CD, LINE 1, LINE 2, RECORDER 1 and RECORDER
2 input jack has its own input buffer built on HDAM
nology. By providing each line with its own buffer amp, it is
possible to prevent interference between input sources and
thereby faithfully transfer signals from the input source.

SA2 tech-

Preamplifier

• Linear Control Volume

The PM-11S1 incorporates linear control volume that carry
forward the design concepts of the SC-7S1. In combination
with the WM8816 by Wolfson and the HDAM
ear control varistors improve S/N ratio, enabling smooth con­trol in ±0.5 dB steps across a 0 - -100 dB range.

• Tone Control Amplifier

The PM-11S1 incorporates an adjustable jack-type tone con­trol amplifier for controlling bass and treble in 2 dB steps across
a ±8 dB range. The left and right channels can be separately
adjusted from the remote controller.

Power Amplifier

• Dual Amplifier Structure

The PM-11S1 carries on the dual amplifier design concepts of
the MA-9S1 with separate voltage and power amplifiers. With
this dual amp structure, the power buffer powerfully drives the
speakers whereby shutting out the effects of return current
from the speakers. The voltage amplifier drives the power buffer
with ultra low distortion.

Power

• Choke Input Power Supply

The PM-11S1 incorporates a choke input power circuit built
with a high capacity smoothing capacitor in order to thoroughly
eliminate high frequency noise from the rectifier circuit and
external sources. It delivers a distortion-free power supply to
the input amplifier and preamplifier.

Functions

• Bi-Amp Mode

The complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz with
the SC-7S1 and MA-9S1 reproduces a sound environment
never before experienced. This same bi-amp connection has
been made possible with the PM-11S1. Two PM-11S1s are
connected by FCBS in a bi-amp mode that enables each to
work as a monaural integrated amplifier.

• Floating Control Bus System

A Floating Control Bus System (FCBS) enables the user to
connect up to four PM-11S1s, making possible a diversity of
applications with complete bi-amp and multiple channel con­nections. Moreover, a ground loop is not formed between mul­tiple connected PM-11S1s, therefore sound quality is not ad­versely affected.

• Display

The PM-11S1 adopts an LCD to display input source and vol­ume level. Compared to other types of display panels, an LCD
generates less drive noise and radiated noise, hence the ef­fect on sound quality is minimal.

Places

To ensure long-lasting use, do not locate the PM-11S1 where:

• Exposed to direct sunlight.

• Near to sources of heat such as heaters.

• Highly humid or poorly ventilated.

• Dusty.

• Subjected to mechanical vibrations.

• On wobbly, inclined or otherwise unstable surfaces

• Radiated heat is blocked such as in cramped audio racks.

To ensure proper heat radiation, ensure the below clear­ance from walls and other equipment.

7 Battery Handling

77

Improper use of dry cell batteries can result in electrolyte leaks,
rupture and corrosion. Read the following precautions before
use.

• If not planning to use the remote controller for an extended
period of 1 month or more, remove the batteries.

• Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.

• Load batteries in the proper direction indicated on the re-

mote controller.

• Do not mix batteries of differing type. Even batteries of the
same shape and size can have differing voltages.

• If batteries leak, wipe the case clean of any adhering elec­trolyte and replace the old batteries with new batteries.

77

7 Accessories Check

77

Before use, check the below accessories were included in the
package.

• AC power cable

7 Keep Objects Off

77

Keep objects off the PM-11S1. Blocking the vent can result in
accident and damage.

7 Do Not Touch Hot Spots During

77

and Immediately After Use

During and immediately after use, the PM-11S1 is hot in ar­eas other than the controls and rear panel connection jacks.
Do not touch hot spots and especially the top panel. Contact
with hot areas can cause burns.

The power cable included in the package can be used with
the PM-11S1 only. It cannot be used with other equipment.

ABOUT THE BALANCED INPUT
JACKS

q The PM-11S1 uses XLR connectors for the BALANCED

INPUT jacks. XLR connectors are widely used with profes­sional equipment because of the following features.

• Incoming music signals are balanced, therefore they are
little affected by external noise.

• The detachable locking mechanism minimizes connec­tor play and enhances connection reliability.

w There are two ways to connect the XLR connectors.

1.In the USA

2.In Europe

WIRING SPEAKER CABLE

• Be careful not to short circuit in wiring speaker cables.

• Peel off the corting of speaker cable as shown below.

Approx. 1 cm

Cut

the corting

of cable.

• Wiring with speaker cable.

Turn counter-clockwise
to loosen.

Peel off the
edge of cable.

Insert conductor
of cable.

Twist
conductors.

Turn clockwise
to

tighten.

e The PM-11S1 adopts the USA circuitry. If the PM-11S1 is

connected via a balanced cable to a preamplifier or control
amplifier of European circuitry, signal phases will be re­versed. To correctly align signal phases, switch the w and
e pins of one of the XLR connectors.

• Wiring with “Y” style terminal

Turn counter-clockwise
to loosen.

Your speaker system must satisfy the below conditions. If it
does not, the PM-11S1’s protective circuit will trip, whereby
preventing proper playback. In some cases, the amplifier and
speakers may be damaged.

• If using 1 set of speakers, total speaker impedance must be
4Ω or more.

• If using 2 sets of speakers, total speaker impedance must
be 8Ω or more.

Insert conductor.

Turn clockwise
to

tighten.
