The Marantz PM-15 S2 Limited Edition is an integrated amplifier produced by Marantz between 2010 and 2013, designed to deliver high-fidelity sound and impressive versatility. Featuring distinctive HDAM (High Definition Amplifier Module) technology, this amplifier utilizes custom-designed HDAMs to achieve a dynamic sound profile while reducing susceptibility to external noise and vibrations. It incorporates a Current Feedback Phono Equalizer that caters to both moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM) cartridges, maintaining optimal sound quality across different playback formats. The design includes a high-performance Toroidal power transformer that minimizes magnetic leakage and vibration, housed in a non-magnetic aluminum shielding case for enhanced stability. The PM-15 S2 can be operated in a bi-amp configuration, allowing users to maximize sound quality by powering separate frequency drivers in speakers. The amplifier features a linear control volume system, an LCD display for input sources and volume level, and remote control capabilities, making it user-friendly. Additional features include various input options, a P.Direct mode for bypassing the pre-amp circuitry, and a sophisticated Floating Control Bus System (FCBS) for connecting multiple units. This amplifier is available in both silver and black finishes, and its elegant design fits comfortably in any sound system setup. Other technical specifications include 90 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 140 watts into 4 ohms, with a total harmonic distortion of just 0.05%. The frequency response ranges from 5 Hz to 100 kHz, ensuring high-quality audio reproduction across a wide range of frequencies.
