Marantz PM6006 Integrated Amplifier With Digital Input

The PM6006 is an upgraded successor of the
multi-award-winning PM6005. We’ve retained the pre-amp and power-amp sections
that exclusively feature discrete components – not a single IC in sight of the
signal path. The PM6006 is upgraded for peak current at the amplifier stage,
which makes it possible to refine the sound for you in much more detail.

You can connect this superb integrated amplifier directly to
a vast range of digital sources and use its superior 24bit/192kHz high current
CS4398 DAC to create an unbelievably high level of audio enjoyment with new
media. The unit now includes 2 optical and 1 coaxial digital inputs (an
additional optical input from the predecessor, PM6005), and the complete
digital section is fully shielded by an extra metal housing to ensure that the
digital stage has no effect on the analog signal.

All of the original features—such as five-line audio input
including phono, two-pairs of gold-plated speaker connections with the
convenience of bi-wiring, and a remote handset—are all still there. The lower
impedance shielded Toroidal transformer, as well as customized components and
unique Marantz HDAM modules care for powerful, dynamic and detailed original
Marantz sound. In short, the new PM6006 is a new star with excellent genes.

Marantz HDAM Technology

Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards to replace
standard IC’s. These HDAM’s consists of discrete surface mount components with
short mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are doing exactly the same
thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in
terms of the Slew Rate and reduced noise level, resulting in a much more
dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years Marantz developed
different types of the HDAM to improve quality and to fit to the special
requirements of a product category like CD or amplifier.

Current Feedback

The Current Feedback amplifier technology provides
wide-bandwidth and high-speed sound reproduction. In combination with the
Toroidal Transformer, the PM6006’s amplifier holds a massive energy reserve to
drive even demanding speakers with absolute ease.

Toroidal Transformer

A Toroidal transformer has several advantages over a normal
EI core transformer. It is very efficient and therefore delivers more power
compared to the same size of an EI core transformer. In addition, due to its
shape, the electromagnetic radiation and the mechanical vibration are extremely
low all ending in a better sound quality.

High Current Power Supply

The power supply has high current high speed Shottky Barrier
Diodes and high current storage capacitors that together provide wide dynamic
range along with low impedance drive capability.

Reference Quality D/A Conversion for Digital Input

The PM6006 features high resolution D/A conversion and is
equipped with the reference class CS4398 D/A converter, which provides up to
192 kHz/24 bit resolution for optimum fidelity with high resolution audio file
types.

Expanded Connectivity for Digital Inputs (2 Optical, 1
Coax) with Hi-res Audio Support

1 Coax digital and 2 Optical digital inputs are
now available to connect digital devices and play back Hi-res Audio (up to
192kHz/24bit PCM) through the PM6006’s advanced audio circuitry. And the
complete digital section is fully shielded by an extra metal housing to ensure
that the digital stage has no effect on the analog signal.
