A New Benchmark
MODEL 10 is a testament to decades of expertise in audio engineering, embodying the pinnacle of craftsmanship and innovation. From its triple-layer aluminum chassis with copper shielding to its entirely original multi-layer PCBs, isolated sub-enclosures, and newly developed HDAM modules, every element of MODEL 10 has been designed with precision. This meticulous construction and integration of state-of-the-art technologies establish a new benchmark in high-fidelity audio, combining superior performance with elegant design.
Marantz Master Sound
MODEL 10 retains the classic Marantz sonic signature, characterized by warmth, spaciousness, and exceptional resolution. Through advancements in design and precise tuning by the Marantz Sound Master, this amplifier delivers the purest expression of the Marantz sound to date. The result is an audio experience marked by unprecedented detail, minimal distortion, and an expanded dynamic range, offering listeners a deeper, more immersive auditory experience.
Refinement and Power
Encased in a copper-plated, triple-layered chassis, MODEL 10 features a brushed aluminum front and an illuminated mesh cover grille that showcases its inner components. The amplifier’s lighting highlights the meticulously arranged circuit boards, high-quality components, and a specially designed transformer case. Reflecting Marantz’s design heritage, the front porthole houses a high-resolution full-color OLED display for volume and input selection, accompanied by a digital VU meter that echoes the style of vintage analog meters.
Expanding the MODEL 10 Collection
Conceived and engineered in Shirakawa, Japan, MODEL 10 is designed to deliver the highest levels performance. Following its launch, the MODEL 10 collection will expand with the introduction of the SACD 10, a statement-quality SACD player crafted to the same rigorous standards as the amplifier.
Completing this exceptional lineup will be the LINK 10n Streaming Preamplifier, solidifying the MODEL 10 series as a comprehensive suite of high-end stereo components.
