Features

The Marantz PM8006 is a high-performance integrated amplifier built for discerning audiophiles who seek exceptional sound fidelity and operational versatility. Delivering 2 x 70W into 8 ohms, it provides ample power to drive a wide range of speakers with dynamic detail and musical clarity. Designed and built in Japan, it features multiple high-speed, high-power output devices that ensure low distortion and stable performance even with challenging speaker loads.

Current Feedback Amplification

To meet the demands of high-resolution audio, the PM8006 employs Marantz's proprietary current feedback amplification technology. This design minimizes negative feedback, reducing the need for phase compensation, and enhances high-speed, wide-bandwidth sound reproduction. It also makes the amplifier less sensitive to speaker impedance variations, ensuring consistent and immersive audio performance.

HDAM Technology for Pure Sound

At the heart of the PM8006 are Marantz’s Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM), which outperform standard integrated op-amps by using discrete, surface-mount components in a mirror-image layout. This design dramatically improves slew rate and noise performance, resulting in more dynamic, precise, and detailed audio.

Marantz Musical Phono EQ

For vinyl enthusiasts, the PM8006 integrates Marantz’s Musical Phono EQ stage. Combined with HDAMs and JFETs in the input stage, this design delivers a high input impedance and eliminates the need for AC coupling capacitors, preserving signal purity and natural tone.

Equalised and Amplified Precision

The PM8006 redefines traditional phono amplification by incorporating a refined equalisation process within its advanced phono stage. Its RIAA correction, executed in tandem with HDAM technology, delivers exceptional tonal balance. Amplification is handled by high-quality op-amps running in Class A mode, minimising distortion and producing a clean, transparent sound. This innovative design ensures that vinyl playback is accurate, expressive, and emotionally engaging—making it a standout choice for analog purists.

Premium Build and Components

The amplifier is outfitted with high-quality speaker terminals, crafted from massive brass with thick silver plating for optimal conductivity and signal flow. These terminals are strategically mounted to minimize signal path length, enhancing speed and dynamic response.

Intuitive Control and User Experience

The PM8006 features a Marantz-developed electric volume control system, offering precise channel separation, wide dynamic range, and reduced distortion. Though digitally engineered, it retains the satisfying tactile feel of analog volume knobs. Its user-friendly interface and remote compatibility ensure effortless integration into any high-end audio system.
