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 toroidal 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.
