At Marantz we believe that music is
human emotion, expressed through
THE
tempo, tone timbre and more. EMOTIONAL
Great musicians express great emotion
- exciting, inspiring and moving the CONNECTION
listener. But listeners also have a vital
role to play. Great listeners contribute
to the creative experience by bringing
their own emotions, memories and
associations. Adding high-octane fuel to
an already emotion-rich roller
coaster ride.
The Marantz Reference Series sets the emotional benchmark against which all other music
reproduction systems can be judged. Perfect as separates, they are simply sublime when they come
SERIES
together as one. It’s a connection that utterly and completely engages with great listeners.
Adrenalin pumps. Heartbeats race. And pure emotion is created, exchanged and consumed.
S A-7S1
R E F E R E NC E S U PE R AU DIO C D PL AY E R
The SA-7S1 Super Audio CD player launches integration into new heights of stunning, reference-quality excellence.
Perfect harmony throughout all sections of this integrated player is ensured by our highly advanced Dynamic Digital
Filtering technology, which provides a choice of three exclusive filter characteristics. The result is the most detailed
and dynamic reproduction ever heard from either a standard CD or SACD. The digital and analogue sections are
completely separate, even at ground level, thanks to GMR technology. This totally eliminates any influence of
digital on the sensitive analogue. Further options include external clock input and digital phase inverting. The whole
unit is as ‘solid as a rock’, with a metal tray disc mechanism, copper-shielded chassis and high-grade power supply.
The result? Absolute uncompromising quality, designed, engineered and created for gifted listeners.
SC -7S2
R EFER ENCE CON T ROL A MPL IFIER
Audiophiles be prepared: the SC-7S2 is a true Reference Series full-balanced control amplifier that sustains more
than 100 dB of spectacular channel separation at 20 kHz. Combined with an extended high-frequency response of up
to 150 kHz, this advanced, high-quality pre-amplifier for stereo, bi-amp and multi-channel set-ups, provides a
super-wide frequency range and high dynamic signal handling. It’s truly a no-compromise system that uses only the
best materials and components. It includes a rigid multi-layer chassis with aluminium front and side panels.
The four Wolfson electronic volume controls provide superb high-quality digital volume control. While the
unparalleled attention to detail for the input, output and power supply circuits (with Toroidal Transformer and Choke
Input) makes the SC-7S2 the ultimate, top-rated performer in its class.
M A-9S2
R E F E R E N C E monaural P O W E R A M P L I F I E R
The monaural MA-9S2 full-balanced power amplifier has been designed to combine perfect harmony with
spine-chilling dynamism. Most vitally, it provides instantaneous power, which is important, because whatever an
amplifier’s specified output, its performance ultimately depends on its ability to deliver electrical current quickly.
That’s why the MA-9S2 has been designed to give instantaneous current supply, three times that of any other
Marantz product. At peak levels it can deliver an incredible 150 Ampère. It comprises a two-stage circuit for best
signal to noise ratio of 120 dB, one balanced and two unbalanced inputs (selectable), and two low-impedance WBT
speaker terminals for bi-wiring. What’s more, its ultra-stable power output of 300 Watts at 8 ohms and 600 Watts
at 4 ohms makes it ideal for driving even the most demanding speakers with absolute ease. It’s the ultimate.
For more than 30 years Ken Ishiwata has been intimately exploring all newly-designed Marantz units.
Only after his approval are they introduced to the world so that other lovers of music can experience
the moment.
To mark this 30th anniversary, Ken has created a special KI Signature limited edition “Pearl System”:
an exquisite integrated amplifier and superb SACD player. Pearls are the traditional gift for a
30th anniversary. So it’s a fitting tribute to Ken Ishiwata, who has made it his personal labour of love
to listen, improve and then listen and improve, again and again. It is this same single-minded devotion
that has driven the design and development of the Pearls. They are unique. They resonate Marantz
quality in sound and appearance. And they are destined to become a true milestone in Hi-Fi history.
Enjoy.

Only the best and finest components can reproduce music exactly the way the original artist intended.
Without any doubt, electronics is key. But it should be invisible, because nothing - absolutely nothing - should get
in the way of the music. This philosophy is alive and kicking like never before in this superb amplifier. What’s more,
invisibility means that it’s not about specifications such as main capacitor values. Specifications don’t say anything
when it comes to sound quality. What matters is the right combination of parts. It’s all about carefully selecting,
combining and testing all the components – as they work together. And only when each individual part works
in complete harmony with the rest can you be certain that they will perform invisibly. That’s true music in its
human form.
12 MAR ANTZ K I PE A R L
Music is the highest form of art.
It is also the most noble. It is human emotion,
captured, crystallised, encased…
and then passed on to others.

To faithfully reproduce a musical experience in the way that the original artist intended, to recreate the
atmosphere, the emotion and all of the nuances – requires a special CD player. And that’s exactly what you can
expect from the limited edition KI Pearl SACD Player. But as with the amplifier the quality of a CD player cannot be
judged by reading the specifications list. It requires careful listening. And that’s what Ken Ishiwata has done for
hours upon hours. Listening testing, reconfiguring. Searching for the ultimate combination of components.
The result is an SACD player with an ultra-realistic three-dimensional sound stage. Every instrument is positioned
with pin-point accuracy, and just as importantly they remain in their locations and never drift with increasing
volume. It’s a sound stage that also offers remarkable depth and height, allowing the vocals to be lifted over the
music for an extra-real reproduction of a live performance. It all adds up to a sublime musical experience filled
with emotion.

Music has power. The power of emotion.
It can take you back to the intoxicating
Supreme
heights of your first kiss, or it can plunge stereo
you into deep and heavy sentiment.
Terrific highs, sobering lows. recognised
That’s the power of music - an
intensely ‘human’ purpose. And that’s
why Marantz is proud to offer this year’s
collection of stereo performers.
Some of which have been recognised
by EISA - the European organisation of
specialist magazine reviewers and editors
- as the best high end audio products
available anywhere.
This year’s collection includes the
SA-11S2: the perfect match to both
the SC-11S1, SM-11S1 or the PM-11S2
for those who prefer an integrated
amp on top level.

SC -11S1
PR E MIU M CON T ROL A MPL IFIER
To maximise the performance of this Premium amp, we borrowed as much as possible from the Reference Series
SC-7S2 and applied for example, the full balanced layout in-current feedback technology to guarantee excellent
signal integrity. We also added the Wolfson high linear volume control, and the Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules
(HDAM-SA2), to guarantee precision high-speed signal handling at over 100kHz. It uses high precision Melf resistors
to minimise tolerances, and a shielded Toroidal transformer with very low impedance. The SC-11S1 is not only a top
performer – it’s versatile as well, with a wide range of connectivity options including two XLRs, an in-current
feedback phono amplifier for the MM/MC system and a current feedback headphone driver. While the FCBS allows
bi-amp and multi-channel set-ups. All combined with excellent mechanical build quality, the SC-11S1 is a
scintillating audio experience with crystal clear transparency.

The SM-11S1 is powerful. Very powerful. That’s because plenty of the highly acclaimed Reference Series MA-9S2 is
inside, it includes a low impedance Toroidal Transformer in an aluminium shield case. So as you would expect,
this Current Feedback technique amplifier can easily handle demanding loudspeakers. For extreme set-ups, the
bridge mode (BTL) can convert the 2x 100 Watts at 8 ohms stereo amplifier SM-11S1 to a 400 Watts mono amplifier.
The two-stage circuit construction guarantees an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and the full control of any speaker.
The HDAM-SA2 ensures fast and accurate signal handling of frequencies even higher than 100 kHz. On the
connection side it offers balanced and unbalanced inputs as well as two pairs of WBT speaker terminals for
bi-wiring. The result? A powerful, highly dynamic stereo main amplifier, offering an open, transparent, and precision
sound. Prepare to be exhilarated.

Many of the advanced technologies of the Reference Series SA-7S1 are now at work in this Premium player.
For example, it uses the exclusive-to-Marantz Dynamic Digital Filtering technology, which makes standard CDs
sound as incredible as SACDs. There are three filter characteristics to cater for different tastes. The unit offers fully
balanced signal handling on short symmetric discrete circuit architecture and the HDAM-SA2 high-speed amplifier
module. The internal high-precision clock is keeping jitter on a lowest level possible. The rigid double-layer chassis
minimises vibration. Extensive copper plating and system-block shielding keeps the signal as clean as possible. In
addition, you get balanced XLR; gold-plated RCA output terminals and a low-noise LCD. All of which means that you
can enjoy sustained signal integrity, original sound stage reproduction, unsurpassed rhythmic intensity, and an
unparalleled quality of dynamics and pace.

PR E M I U M I N T EGR AT E D A M PL I FI E R
Marantz has taken the EISA award-winning PM-15S1 to new heights, and created a successor: the PM-15S2.
This new 15 now uses the latest generation of Marantz-own HDAM modules, as well as a top-down version of
the PM-11S2’s Constant Current Feedback MM/MC phono stage, which vinyl fans will love instantly.
The new Toroidal transformer delivers even higher current values to immediately follow every dynamic and every
detail of the music, while an additional CD direct input buffer ensures unadulterated audio signals. One of the unit’s
many handy innovations is the new Power Amp Direct Mode, which means you can use the PM-15S2 as a pure
power amplifier - useful when combining a high quality AV system and audiophile stereo set-up. With rigid double
layer chassis, aluminium front and side panels, and an additional bottom plate to minimize external noise, the new
PM-15S2 is as solid as it gets. It all adds up to an extraordinarily high quality stereo sound.

The new SA-15S2 is based on the successful SA-15S1, but as you would expect it has some rather seductive
enhancements. For example, the new front design (similar to that of the SA-11S2) radiates a more powerful,
cleaner face. Inside, there’s now a Toroidal transformer for cleaner power delivery and a new Marantz Xyron
mechanism with solid aluminium housing supporting even MP3 and WMA playback, but of course without
sacrificing sound quality of CD or SACD. The DAC has been replaced by a Cirrus Logic bitstream CS4398, which
offers a choice of different digital filters. Also, the SA-15S2’s analogue output stage makes use of the HDAM-SA2
module and selected components. A major benefit is the new digital input enabling you to connect a music server or
a network audio client and thereby make use of the high quality DAC and the superior audio output stage.
It’s great.

- the Marantz difference
At Marantz, we believe that music has always played a fundamental role in humanity. Even today,
as audio is increasingly coupled to vision, music is still the defining ingredient. It is music that drives
home the ecstasy and agony of a film’s story.
We also believe that true Hi-Fi is about being able to reproduce the magic of a performance. It’s about
experiencing music just as the artist intended, even in the cinema. Obviously, this kind of high quality
reproduction requires the best components. And below you can see some examples of high quality and
carefully chosen components that Marantz uses to achieve the goal of unadulterated music reproduction.
But importantly simply using the best components in an audio product will not reproduce the
music exactly how the original artists intended. To achieve this, each element within a set must work in
harmony with all the rest, they must all be carefully selected to ensure they work in complete harmony.
After all, we are dealing with music.
Our heritage of technical excellence means we can create products with high-precision playback
capabilities. But more importantly, it is our love and understanding of music reproduction that gives us
the ability to communicate the scale, timbre, pitch, dynamics, and the very essence of a recording.
It is this passion that helps ensure that every one of our Hi-Fi products unlocks the power, the excite-
ment and the emotion of music.
