Product Description
As a stand-alone multi-channel power amplifier or
the perfect complement to the AV8003 preamplifier/processor/tuner, the MM8003
provides Marantz-level performance to power the most advanced A/V systems. Eight
channels. A massive power supply. Output devices from our renowned Reference
products. Easy connectivity. Flexible, configurable operation. Multi-channel has
never been this easy. Or this good. What else would you expect from Marantz?
The MM8003 power amplifier produces 140 watts of
high current output from each of its eight channels. And this is the “real
deal”, measured across the full audio bandwidth (20 Hz – 20 kHz) at 8 ohms
with less than 0.08% THD!
In practical terms, this makes the MM8003 an
ideal amplifier for a “7.1” system even if that system includes a high
quality passive “in-wall” subwoofer. Alternatively, you can opt for stereo
output to each of four different rooms and turn each room on and off
individually! How’s that for flexibility?
The massive power supply includes a
multiple-secondary torodial transformer rated at 600 VA and 100,000 µF of
custom-designed capacitors mounted in copper-plated, anti-vibration brackets.
Critical circuit components from WIMA and other world-class suppliers were
chosen only after extensive auditory evaluation. The LAPT Hyper Power devices
are the same as used in the Reference Series’ acclaimed PM-11S1. Current
feedback topology insures astounding accuracy and control even under high-drive
conditions.
Physically, the MM8003’s output stages mount on
an extruded aluminum “thermal tunnel” for efficient heat dissipation. With
four channels on each side of the tunnel and temperature-sensing forced air
cooling, this configuration assures long-term dependability.
Balanced inputs for each channel adhere to the
Audio Engineering Society’s “pin 2 = hot” standard. Single-ended RCA
inputs complement the balanced XLR connections. And you can choose either
balanced or single ended inputs for each channel individually for easy
connectivity. Audiophile grade, gold-plated speaker outputs insure tight
connections to your choice of speaker wire.
The MM8003 features a “soft turn-on” circuit
that prevents excessive inrush current from tripping an AC breaker or fuse. In
addition, you’ll find both input and output jacks for DC “trigger” pulses
as well as RC5 jacks for total remote control convenience.
The chassis itself in heavy gauge copper-plated
steel for maximum isolation from external vibration as well as electromagnetic
and radio frequency interference. And chassis depth is only 16” so the MM8003
will fit quite nicely in a conventional system rack.
The subtly three-dimensional front panel adds the
classic Marantz design touch. The physical attributes of extruded aluminum and
glass-reinforced resin combine ideally for a shaped look and that integrates
with any décor.
Power. Functionality. Dependability. And
classic looks. The MM8003 is Marantz through and through.
