Features
HDAM®SA3 Module
This unit includes the HDAM®SA3 which had been
developed for high-end models. The HDAM®SA3 is
incorporated into many components, such as the current
feedback phono equalizer.
Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer
This unit incorporates the constant current feedback phono
equalizer which had been developed for high-end models.
This equalizer, developed by Marantz, has the advantages
of both NF-type and CR-type phono equalizers, and it
supports both MM and MC cartridges.
Linear Control Volume
The control knob had adopted the high-end model design
concept. For better S/N ratio, the MAS6116 from Micro
Analog Systems and the HDAM®SA3 have been combined,
which enables smooth adjustment in the range of 0 to −100
dB in units of ±0.5 dB.
F.C.B.S.
A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the
user to connect up to four PM-14S1 units, making a
diversity of applications possible with complete bi-amp
and multichannel connections. Moreover, a ground loop
is not formed among multiple PM-14S1 units connected;
therefore, sound quality is not adversely aff ected.
BI-AMP Mode
Complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz enables
a level of reproduction of the acoustic fi eld never before
achieved. Synchronized operation of two PM-14S1 units is
made possible by F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System)
connection, with each PM-14S1 in Bi-Amp mode working
as a monaural integrated amplifi er.
Power Amplifi er Direct In Mode
In this mode, this unit works as a power amplifi er. This
mode will be useful in home theater systems.
Display
This unit adopts an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display
the input source and volume level. Compared with other
types of display panels, an LCD requires less drive power
and generates less radiation noise, which minimizes any
adverse eff ect on sound quality.
