Kevin Zarow, Director of Marketing and Product Development, Marantz America, Inc ., noted: "Marantz recently celebrated 50 years of leadership in high-quality home entertainment, and we're using all of our resources to make the next 50 years even more exciting.

Ultrawide bandwidth circuitry provides a frequency response from 3 Hz - 150 kHz, with a remarkable greater-than-100dB channel separation. The PM-11S1 also features a high-quality MM/CC phono pre-amp.

For greater flexibility, the PM-11S1 provides users with multiple listening modes, including stereo, bi-amp, and multi-channel operation. And t o ensure optimum signal purity with no noise interference, the amplifier's newly designed display, featuring unique Marantz "Blue" backlighting, operates on its own independent power supply.
