Marantz M1 Streaming Amplifier
Wins European Association Award right out the bat!
Don’t be fooled by the MODEL M1’s diminutive size and minimalist design. Thanks to its 2x100W digital Class D power stage and wide-ranging feature set, Marantz’s compact amplifier effortlessly drives loudspeakers to take care of both music and TV audio needs. Integration of the HEOS streaming platform and control app, plus AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth connectivity, make music playback easy, while HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital decoding and subwoofer support cater to movie nights via a 2.1 system. And although the MODEL M1 fits many roles – this amplifier’s superb sonic performance stays true to Marantz’s heritage.
Model M1 is a streaming amplifier, and also a stereo A/V receiver with Dolby Digital decoding capabilities, not to mention a dedicated subwoofer output with surprisingly advanced bass management.
