The PM6005 2-Channel Integrated Amplifier from Marantz is designed to deliver high-quality stereo sound. This integrated amplifier delivers 45W per channel at 8 ohms and 60W per channel at 4 ohms. This notable power output is supported by a high-current toroidal power transformer. Front-mounted bass, treble, and balance controls give you the flexibility of fine-tuning audio playback. With five stereo RCA inputs, the PM6005 allows you to connect a wide variety of analog audio sources like CD players, tuners, and network audio players. These inputs also include a direct phono input for turntable connections.
Marantz HDAM Technology
Marantz HDAM technology features precision discrete components that provide wide dynamic range with low distortion, outperforming conventional op-amp integrated circuit chips. HDAM modules are used in the digital audio converter stages as well as the analog audio stage.
Fully Discrete High Current Output Stages
Equipped with multiple high current wide range power transistors, the PM6005 features the ability to handle low impedance speakers, and is rated at 45W per channel into 8 ohms and 60W per channel into 4 ohms. The output stages feature Marantz current feedback instead of voltage feedback, for low distortion and high stability.
High-Current Power Supply
Featuring a high-current, high-capacity, shielded toroidal power transformer, the power supply section also employs high-current, high-speed Shottky Barrier Diodes, along with high-current storage capacitors that, together, provide wide dynamic range along with low impedance drive capability.
Reference-Quality D/A Conversion
Equipped with the reference-class CS4398 24-bit/192 kHz D/A converter technology, the PM6005 employs Marantz HDAM discrete modules in the critical I/V conversion stage. The digital audio section is housed in a shielded compartment to prevent interference with the analog audio circuit blocks.
Fully Discrete Headphone Amplifier
For optimized sound quality with a wide range of headphone types, the PM6005 features a fully discrete headphone amplifier that is able to handle just about any headphone type, regardless of impedance or sensitivity. The high-quality, gold-plated 0.25" headphone jack is compatible with audiophile-grade and studio headphones and adapters.
Source Direct Mode
The Source Direct function bypasses unneeded circuit stages (such as the tone controls) for the most direct audio path from input to output.
Gold-Plated Connectors
The audio inputs and outputs, along with the speaker terminals and the coaxial digital input are gold plated for long life and optimum signal transfer integrity.
A/B Speaker Select and Bi-Wiring
Equipped with two sets of speaker terminals, the PM6005 can drive two pairs of speakers, or it can be connected to one pair of bi-wiring-compatible speakers, with one set of terminals for the low-range drivers and the other set connected to the high-range drivers.
Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs
Both optical and coaxial digital audio inputs are provided, for compatibility with a wide range of digital audio sources.
Multiple Inputs Including Phono
In addition to multiple analog line level inputs, the PM6005 also features a dedicated phono input, for compatibility with moving magnet turntables.
System Remote Control
Featuring an ergonomic design, the included remote controller can also control the optional Marantz CD6005 CD player, as well as a network audio player.
Remote Control In/Out Terminals and IR Flasher Port
Remote input and output terminals let you connect the PM6005 to other Marantz components, such as the optional CD6005 CD player, allowing you to place the PM6005 out of sight (such as in a cabinet) yet still providing full remote control capabilities. The IR (infrared) flasher port lets you connect the PM6005 to an external system remote controller.
