The PM-11S3 is the "Flagship" amplifier from Marantz's Reference Series. Combining more than 50 years of know-how, an uncompromising design and the most High-Technologies of today, this integrated is a must. Offering both outstanding sound quality and high versatility of use, the PM-11S3 has been repeatedly named one of the best Integrated Amplifiers in the world!

- Plates as huge as 5mm thick are used for the thinnest sections.

- The entire faceplate has been machined from a huge block of solid aluminum.

- The chassis, in order to eliminate internal resonances as much as possible, is built on a concept of multiple plates.

- All surfaces are copper coated to provide outstanding electromagnetic shielding and each amplifier section is electrically isolated from each other.

- Robust Audiophile grade connectors are used for the complete construction of the PM-11S3.

- Solid aluminum parts are used as a base offering remarkable mechanical stability. The PM-11S3 therefore has an exemplary construction retaining Marantz's rich Reference heritage.

Having an impressive overall weight of 59 Pounds, here we see a good hint of the PM-11S3's exceptional build quality.

Delivering up to 200 Watts per Channel, the PM-11S3 has been engineered from an extremely Powerful and Robust Power Supply section. Offering very wide impedance stability, the PM-11S3 is able to respond to loudspeakers of any size and type. A huge voltage transformer fully woven with OFC copper is used as the first stage in the circuit. In addition, an OFC copper casing is also used as an electromagnetic "screen", thus eliminating the risk of electromagnetic induction! Mounted on a chassis of extraordinary robustness and density, it ensures solidity to the components of the complete circuit, thus eliminating the effects of microphony.

The front of the PM-11S3 has a maximum of controls that are both very complete and refined. Incorporating the same main elements of other Marantz integrated systems, additions such as MM and MC input selection for vinyl, Preamp selection and Power Amplification selection are also featured. In addition, on the back of the PM-11S3, both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) Audiophile grade connectors are present. Also, offering two groups of speaker connectors, the PM-11S3 can be used to power a second pair of speakers.

Designed entirely on the Reference series, one of Marantz's most renowned technologies is omnipresent in the circuit of the PM-11S3. HDAM modules provide remarkable dynamics and energy efficiency to meet the demands of modern music and film recording formats. No less than 40 third-generation HDAM controllers are used at the very heart of its amplification stage.

To be able to meet the demand for the best Audiophile Headphones and a very wide variety, the Marantz PM-11S3 incorporates a fully dedicated headphone amplifier. This offers remarkable sound quality and stability allowing the use of any earphone.

Marantz being very associated with vinyl technologies, the PM-11S3 knows how to meet the demand of Audiophiles. A High-Performance Phono Preamplification section both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) has been integrated. In addition, an entirely discrete “Current Feedback” section has been dedicated to it in order to reproduce the RIAA standard curvature to near perfection!
