Marantz MODEL 30 Amplifier

With 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, this amplifier is capable of driving a wide range of high-quality bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. Its Class D amplification provides excellent control and detail, making it a great match for speakers that benefit from a clean, high-current power source.

Yes, the MODEL 30 features a high-quality phono stage that supports both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. It also includes an impedance selector, allowing you to fine-tune the input to match the specific requirements of your cartridge for optimal sound quality.

The MODEL 30 uses advanced switching power amplification to deliver high efficiency and robust power in a more compact form factor. Marantz has specifically tuned this circuit to maintain the warm, musical signature the brand is known for, avoiding the clinical or harsh sound sometimes associated with older Class D designs.

While the MODEL 30 is a two-channel stereo amplifier designed primarily for music, it features a Power Amp input that allows you to integrate it into a home theater system. You can connect the front pre-outs of an AV receiver to the MODEL 30 to use it as a dedicated power amplifier for your main left and right speakers.

HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) is Marantz’s proprietary circuit technology that replaces standard off-the-shelf op-amps. By using discrete components, it provides faster slew rates and better signal integrity, which results in a more detailed, open, and dynamic soundstage.

The MODEL 30 utilizes an analog-feel volume control. While it provides the tactile, precise experience of a traditional analog knob, it is managed by an electronic control system to ensure perfect channel balance and accuracy across the entire volume range.
