Marantz PM7000N Network Integrated Amplifier – Black

Here we have a Network Integrated Amplifier from Marantz. It has HEOS technology built in and is therefore able to stream high resolution audio from services such as those from Spotify and Amazon. It also features a moving magnet phono stage for easy connection to a turntable. It is in good condition, with a little marking to the front panel – please see photographs. It is supplied suitably packaged along with a remote control, reprinted manual, mains cable, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antennas and our regular three month warranty.
Marantz Say….
The ideal choice for audiophiles that requires our exceptional Marantz sound with flexible operation and access to digital streaming music.
The PM7000N is the first fully discrete, current feedback integrated Hi-Fi amplifier with HEOS Built-in technology from Marantz. It is the ideal choice for audiophiles that require Marantz Musical sound with flexible operation and access to digital streaming music. The amplifier delivers a powerful 2x 60W into 8 ohm or 2 x 80W into 4 ohm (20Hz – 20kHz).
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. The impedance at the Current Feedback point is limited, generating a very low phase shift. Marantz Current Feedback amplifiers reduce the need for phase compensation by minimizing Negative Feedback (NFB).
Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards called Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules, or HDAMs, to replace the chip-based amps used elsewhere. Using discrete surface mount components with short mirror-image left and right signal paths, HDAMs outperform the regular integrated Op-amps dramatically in Slew Rate and noise level. The result is much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years, Marantz developed different HDAMs to fit the particular requirements of each player and amplifier. The PM7000N uses the high-grade SA3 version.
Engineered and extensively tuned by a team drawing on more than 65 years of Hi-Fi expertise, the PM7000N provides exceptional performance for your audio collection. Whether digital or analogue, enjoy the most musical sound from any source.
Four analogue inputs, one analogue output, one coaxial input, two optical digital inputs and one USB-A for high resolution audio files. Tone control to tune sound to your exact specifications and dedicated subwoofer output for evenly dispersed bass, no audible peaks or dips.
