Marantz PM7005 2-Channel Integrated Amplifier

The PM7005 2-Channel Integrated Amplifier from Marantz offers high-quality stereo sound and digital-to-analog conversion. This integrated amplifier delivers 60W per channel at 8 ohms and 80W per channel at 4 ohms. Front-mounted bass, treble, and balance controls give you the flexibility of fine-tuning audio playback. The integrated DAC mode is supported by digital optical, digital coaxial, and a USB-B port, which allows you to connect your computer to the PM7005 and enjoy high-quality sound thanks to its built-in CS4398 digital-to-analog converter.

With five stereo RCA inputs, the PM7005 allows you to connect a wide variety of analog audio sources like CD players, tuners, and network audio players. These inputs also include a direct phono input for vinyl playback. For personal listening, a headphone output is also on-board.

Current Feedback Discrete Power Amplifier Instead of employing conventional voltage-based feedback in the power amplifier section, the PM7005 features current feedback, which is designed to deliver optimized fidelity and low distortion. The amplifier section consists of all discrete circuitry (no op-amps), and features high-current discrete power output devices that provide high instantaneous peak current capability, and the PM7005 is rated at 60W per channel into 8 ohm loads and 80W per channel into 4 ohm loads. Wide Range of Connectivity Options The PM7005 is equipped with numerous analog inputs, including recording inputs and outputs, and features coaxial and optical digital inputs, along with a USB-B 2.0 asynchronous input for high resolution computer audio files. Advanced Digital-to-Analog Conversion with PCM and DSD Decoding For optimum decoding of high-resolution audio tracks, the PM7005 features the reference-class CS4398 digital-to-analog converter, which is also found on Marantz reference disc players and amplifiers. The PM7005 can accept a broad range of digital audio sampling frequencies and bit depths, all the way up to 24 bits and 192 kHz sampling. In addition to decoding high-resolution PCM tracks, the PM7005 can also decode DSD high-resolution audio files, at 2.8 and 5.6 MHz. DSD is the advanced digital audio system found on SACD, offering enhanced sonic depth. Equipped with dual master clocks for the digital-to-analog conversion function, the PM7005 also features a fully-enclosed and shielded digital audio block to prevent interference between the analog and digital audio sections. Source Direct Function and Analog Amplifier Mode The Source Direct function bypasses unnecessary analog circuitry (balance, treble, and bass controls) for the shortest and straightest signal path. The analog amplifier mode shuts down the entire digital audio block, to prevent interference when listening to analog sources. USB-B 2.0 Asynchronous Port with Jitter Removal The PM7005 is equipped with a USB-B 2.0 asynchronous port along with dedicated jitter removal processing to provide the high sound quality with high-resolution digital tracks. Advanced HDAM Discrete Buffer Amplifier Modules The PM7005 features Marantz HDAM-SA3 (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) components, which consist of matched precision discrete selected circuit elements on a compact sub-board, instead of conventional op-amp integrated circuits. HDAM modules are used in the phono amp/equalizer block, the digital audio block, and in the power amplifier block. These Marantz HDAM-SA3 modules provide a full 10 dB of signal-to-noise improvement over earlier HDAM versions, along with ultra wide-band response (100 kHz, -3 dB) for clear treble detail. Fully Discrete Volume Amplifier Circuit The volume amplifier circuit features all-discrete circuit components (no op-amps in the signal path) for pure sound quality, low distortion, and wide frequency response. Versatile Remote Control Options Equipped with remote control input and output jacks, the PM7005 lets you connect via your Marantz player and/or your Marantz network audio player so you can place the amplifier in a cabinet out of sight and have it remotely controlled along with the disc and network audio players with a single remote control, which helps to reduce component clutter. The remote control includes dedicated buttons for a Marantz disc player and a Marantz network audio player. Additional Features
