When only the best will do
The ST-17 M tuner is the best choice for the real radio broadcasting lovers and matches perfectly with the Marantz components from the Premium series. It has two switchable aerial inputs to always provide the best reception. Even in case of weak radio signals, the tuner is able to achieve painstaking accuracy. With it's highly solid casing, disturbing influences do not effect the extremely sensitive tuner unit.
Radio Data System (RDS)
Information about your favourite radio station on the display of your tuner! The Radio Data System provides information about general things like the name of the radio station, programme type of the tuned program, displaying of the actual time and the interruption of a broadcast to allow daily news or traffic information.
Gyro touch
From our heritage, Gyro-Touch tuning, implemented by Marantz provides maximum ease of use! With today's digital tuning extra sensitivity is achieved to provide fast Gyro Touch tuning to your chosen radio station.
Band Width selector
For the real radio listener this feature is essential! On the very densely used FM frequency band, noise and whistler adjustment to your favourite radio station can be very difficult. In this case the Band Width Selector brings you audio relief. With this feature you can narrow the filtered bandwidth, resulting in accurate tuning to your favourite radio station. The wide bandwidth selection offers the best sound quality.
Manual station name input
Add the name of your choice to your favourite radio station. With Manual Name Input you decide what name comes up in the display of your tuner, especially when the radio station does not provide RDS information.
HDAM
Audio devices are usually equipped with Op-Amps (operational amplifiers) for which Integrated Circuit (IC) are commonly used. Unfortunately these IC's do not match the very high
requirements of Marantz. Marantz developed it's own discrete circuit boards to replace the IC's. These HDAM's consists of discrete surface mount components with short mirror image L/R signal paths. These devices are
doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate, resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound.
D.Bus
To optimise equipment in terms of ease of use, Marantz has designed the D.Bus system. Individual devices inform each other in order to automatically tune to the customers demands. Also received remote control commands are communicated via this bus. This enables equipment without IR-receiver, like a cassette deck or tuner, to be controlled via a Marantz Remote control.
