Marantz is celebrating its 70th anniversary, but that doesn't mean the New York-based company is resting on its laurels - far from it! Although it enjoys a place of choice in the homes and ears of music lovers, the brand was built on a foundation where the quality of its products was at the heart of its success. With this rigor in mind, Marantz unveils two new products designed for today's clientele: the Model M1 streaming amplifier and the Model M4 multi-zone amplifier.
Model M1 - The smallest of the big amplifiers
The Model M1 is a new-generation amplifier that enables users to stream music from a variety of sources, both wired and wireless. It's a high-end audio solution in a market where there are so many small “Swiss army knife” audio devices on offer that it's easy to get lost.
The Model M1 is an integrated stereo amplifier that supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz - perfect for the discerning music lover looking for a compact unit capable of enhanced sound processing. With 100 watts per channel and an exceptionally low distortion rate (0.005% THD), the M1 is capable of shining, even with demanding loudspeakers. More than just an amplifier dedicated to streaming, the M1 boasts versatile connectivity with its HDMI eARC socket, digital and analog inputs for your standard wired audio sources, and an output for a subwoofer.
Model M4 - Marantz sound anywhere in the home
The Model M4, while sharing many features with the M1, is a solution aimed at multi-room audio. Marantz offers an audio distribution amplifier with four independent zones, each with its own control.
The M4 is therefore an amplifier for a larger-scale installation, allowing you to distribute your sound to four different rooms, but to bring the amplifier back to a single location, for a clean and efficient installation. The Model M4 is equipped with eight 100-watt channels and four independent HEOS modules for a multi-room system.
HEOS - a versatile control platform
The strength of the Model M1 and M4 obviously lies in their streaming capability. Both devices include the HEOS platform, developed in conjunction with Denon, which enables music to be controlled via a dedicated mobile application. Finally, in an effort to offer as many options as possible to an increasingly diverse audience, Marantz rounds things off with support for Bluetooth, Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2.
Both devices also support connectivity with other Marantz and Denon products via its HEOS multi-room platform, offering great flexibility in creating a customized audio system. So it's easier than ever to get great sound anywhere, without restrictions.
