Marantz PM8005 Integrated Amplifier

Combining fully discrete current feedback circuitry and our exclusive HDAM technology, the Marantz PM8005 integrated stereo amplifier delivers audiophile grade sound quality along with system operational flexibility. Rated at 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the PM8005 features a robust power supply along with high current capability to deliver 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms, for compatibility and operational stability with the widest range of loudspeakers.

The versatile preamp section features 6 line level inputs including a phono (MM) input, and the PM8005 also includes preamp outputs along with a power amp direct input, which lets you use the unit as a standalone power amplifier for integration into a multi-channel home theater system. For precise sound tailoring, the PM8005 features our triple tone control system, with separate controls for the bass, midrange and treble segments. The elegant remote control features an ergonomic layout for easy operation, and includes the ability to control our companion SA8005 disc player and one of our network players.

FEATURES

• HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology consists of precision discrete selected circuit elements on a compact sub-board, instead of conventional op-amp integrated circuits
• Multiple HDAM units are employed, including HDAM-SA3 and HDAM-SA2 versions that provide gain and buffering functions, to deliver dynamic and detailed sound quality
• Current feedback technology for ultra low distortion and wide-band response, along w/ superb musicality
• Robust power supply features a high current toroidal main power transformer that is rated at 625VA, to easily provide extra power to the amplifier stage in order to handle demanding short term peaks
• High current Shottky barrier diodes in the rectification stage are rated at 20 amps, w/ the ability to handle up to 180 amps peak current, providing sufficient power reserve to handle virtually any loudspeaker load
• Multiple high speed, high current power output devices that are each rated at 14 amps of current output capability, providing a very high amount of dynamic headroom, along w/ compatibility with lower impedance loudspeakers
• Equipped w/ solid aluminum power amplifier heat sinks, with a combined total radiating area of 326 square inches, eliminating the need for fans
• Conservatively rated at 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms, for compatibility w/ the widest range of loudspeakers
• Rugged chassis design, which includes a triple layer bottom plate, for utmost stability and protection from induced vibrations
• High current toroidal main power transformer features double shielding to eliminate distortion from stray magnetic fields
• 6 line level inputs to handle a wide range of sources, including a dedicated phono input (MM) that features discrete topology to deliver the utmost fidelity from your favorite vinyl recordings
• Gold-plated inputs and outputs for optimum signal transfer
• Source Direct function bypasses unnecessary circuit blocks for the straightest path from input to the speaker terminals
• Preamp outputs let you connect a separate stereo power amplifier for a bi-amp loudspeaker system, or for playback in a separate room
• Power amp direct input lets you connect the PM8005 to another component, such as a surround sound processor, for integration within a multi-channel home theater system
• Tri-Tone control system, w/ separate tone controls for the bass, midrange and treble bands, lets you fine tune the spectral balance to your preference and is especially useful with older recordings that suffer from tonal imbalance
• Audiophile Grade Loudspeaker Terminals designed to accept a wide range of speaker cable termination types
• A/B speaker switching for increased system configuration flexibility
• Elegant, ergonomically designed remote control is equipped w/ additional functionality, which lets you control a companion Marantz disc player (such as our SA8005) and a Marantz network audio player
• Remote control input and output jacks let you directly connect the PM8005 to other Marantz components for easy system control
• Limited three-year warranty
