About The Marantz PM7000N Stereo Amplifier
The 60 Watt Marantz PM7000N integrated amplifier specialises in delivering music accurately, with plenty of clean power for precise, dynamic stereo sound. This integrated amp can handle audio sources that you plug in, like a turntable and CD player. Plus, its HEOS Built-in technology makes it easy to listen to your favourite music streaming services and your collection of digital audio files.
High Current Drive: The PM7000N’s power supply features a beefy toroidal transformer with high-current storage capacitors, so the amplifier can handle demanding 4 ohm speakers. There’s plenty of power in reserve to faithfully render dynamic peaks in the music.
Wired Convenience: The PM7000N has plenty of analogue and digital connections. It features four stereo RCA inputs, including an input for your turntable that’s compatible with moving magnet phono cartridges. The back panel also has a coaxial digital and two optical inputs for connecting digital sources. And there’s a Type-A USB port for connecting a thumb drive full of music, too. Digital sources benefit from a 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter that provides high-performance playback.
Multi-Room System: With built-in HEOS technology, the Marantz PM7000N can be easily integrated into a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each room’s speakers independently with the free mobile HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home, or listen to something different in each room.
Audio Section
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 and renders the power amplifier nearly immune to difficult loudspeaker loads.
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. The result is much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound.
Electronic Volume Control with HDAM: A newly developed electric volume control uses the latest volume control IC couple with Marantz HDAM to deliver better channel separation, dynamic range, improved S/N ratio and distortion-reduction, while retaining the operational feel of an analogue volume control device.
Shielded Digital Circuit: To preserve the analogue circuit from digital interferences or noise radiation, the digital circuit is installed into a shielded case, preventing interference. The wireless digital boards can also be completely switched off independently using “Pure Modes” to avoid any interference.
Audio Controls: The Marantz PM7000N integrated amplifier offers Bass & Treble adjustment, 3 Pure Modes, a Source Direct Function, and an adjustable Volume Limit.
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.
Analogue Inputs & Outputs: The Marantz network integrated amplifier features three stereo RCA line-level analogue inputs and one stereo RCA line-level analogue output.
MM Phono Input: The Marantz PM7000N is equipped with a Phono input to connect a turntable using a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge. The PM700N 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 plugs.
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.
Headphone Jack: The PM700N features a front-panel 1/4″ (6.35mm) headphone jack to plug in your set of headphones (the speakers will automatically mute when headphones are plugged in).
Network & HEOS Audio
Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Marantz PM7000N offers wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) network connection.
