Marantz Model 10 Reference integrated amplifier

Black

MODEL 10 is the new reference in amplifier design, with a completely new external and internal architecture. It features an innovative amplifier module, and a newly designed dual-mono symmetrical amplifier topology. Engineered to eliminate interference, MODEL 10 boasts complete separation of left-to right, front-to-back and top-to-bottom internal structures and the lowest-ever distortion and widest dynamic range of any amplifier in Marantz history. The result is their most powerful and highest performing integrated amplifier ever.

The Best of the Best
From the triple-layer aluminum chassis with copper shielding to entirely original multi-layer PCBs, isolated sub-enclosures, and all new HDAM modules, MODEL 10 is the product of decades of expertise in audio engineering, setting a new benchmark with meticulous construction, state-of-the art technologies, and elegant design.

The Marantz signature sound
The Marantz signature sound is synonymous with texture, nuance, and authenticity. For decades, generations of Sound Masters have forged state-of-the-art audio components embraced by music lovers and critical listeners around the world. It’s a sound like no other.

Crafted in Shirakawa
The 10 Series was conceived and engineered in Marantz' facilities in Shirakawa, Japan where the spirit of Kaizen is at the heart of each and every innovative technology. Only premium Marantz products are built here, where close collaboration between their highly experienced engineering team results in the highest performance. Products built here simply could not be built elsewhere.

Sound Master Tuned
MODEL10 retains the Marantz sonic signature of warmth, spaciousness, and resolution. However, advances in design and precise tuning by the Sound Master result in the purest expression of the Marantz sound ever. As a result, the listener experiences more detail, lower distortion, and higher dynamic range than ever before.

Iconic Details Reimagined for Tomorrow
Designed with a brushed aluminum control surface, MODEL 10 is encased in a copperplated, triple-layered chassis with illuminated mesh cover grille. Lighting inside the amplifier showcases the circuit boards, high-quality components, and specially designed transformer case. In a nod to the Marantz design DNA, MODEL10’s porthole houses a high-resolution full colour OLED display for volume and input selection, along with a digital VU meter that behaves like vintage analog meters.

Marantz Innovative Technology
MODEL 10 sets a new standard in reference audio with its newly designed dual-mono symmetrical amplifier topology. Its switching amplifiers with Purifi technology, exclusively engineered to a unique Marantz layout and built in-house in Shirakawa, boast power increased to 250 WPC (8Ω) and 500 WPC (4Ω) with a peak current up to 30A for greater dynamic range and more punch and drive.

Lowest Distortion and Widest Range
Engineered to eliminate interference, MODEL 10 boasts complete separation of left-to right, front-to-back and top-to-bottom internal structures and is truly balanced input-to-output. Distortion is dramatically reduced compared to any previous Marantz amplifier, while peak current drive is significantly increased. As a result, listeners can enjoy the most potent integrated amplifier that Marantz has ever built.

Phono MM/MC with impedance select
MODEL 10’s MM/MC phono stage features selectable load impedance for compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. Furthermore, the use of HDAM technology instead of traditional components means that this phono stage surpasses the performance of many stand-alone phono stages.

Elegant User interface
MODEL 10’s user interface is reminiscent of Marantz classics such as the MODEL 9 with its iconic porthole, now updated with a high-resolution colour display that can be switched to show volume, input or VU meter. The symmetrically positioned volume and input controls are CNC machined aluminium knobs with a spun finish and have a heavy well-damped feel. The heavy aluminium-faced remote can control all 10 Series products.

The Marantz 10 Series

The result of countless hours of work by Marantz' dedicated team of engineers in Shirakawa, Japan, each 10 Series model features cutting-edge technology delivered in a beautifully designed and superbly crafted package. Inspired by the iconic design of Marantz classics like the MODEL 9, the new 10 Series epitomises ultimate luxurious performance. The reference MODEL 10 integrated amplifier, LINK 10n streaming preamplifier, and SACD 10 SACD player are designed with excellence in mind. With a brushed aluminium control surface, spun finish details, a thick-section aluminium structure and copper-plated chassis, these cutting-edge components are instantly timeless and endlessly musical.
