More Natural Music Reproduction

The refined array of circuit innovation inside the PM8004’s chassis are all devoted to one goal – more natural music reproduction

Flexible Equalization

One of the first things you’ll notice about the PM8004 is the front panel’s TriTone tone controls

Tri-Tone adds a midrange control to the more conventional bass and treble adjustments

Tri Tone actually dates back to Marantz’s 1954 Model 1 Preamplifier and is even more useful today to correct frequency imbalances that often characterize compressed music sources such as iPods

A Solid Foundation - Power Supply And Parts Selection

Specified by Marantz engineers, a large torroidal transformer is the foundation for the PM8004’s power supply. Its circular shape and double shielding helps control stray magnetic fields that could adversely affect sound quality

The PM8004 also benefits from a wide array of parts carefully selected only after extensive laboratory evaluation and listening-room audition. This process, call Sound Tuning, assures you of optimal performance

High Current Amplifier

The 70 watts per channel (8 ohms) amplifier section delivers high instantaneous current so musical peaks retain their full dynamic range

The PM8004’s mechanical and electrical aspects are designed to minimize the length of power supply lines and their potential interference

Individual power supply segments are located on the same heat sinks as the output transistors

The benefit is that the PM8004 responds instantly and crisply to musical transients that lesser amplifiers would simply blur

Short Signal Paths For Clearer Sound

For critical listening, the PM8004 includes a “Source Direct” switch that bypasses balance and tone control circuits for pristine reproduction

Easily Integrates Into Your Home Theater System

Power Amp Direct allows you integrate a dedicated 2 channel Hi-fi system with your home theater receiver and easily switch between modes

A convenient front panel switch optimizes the main-in terminals for use with a separate surround processor so you can enjoy the same Left and Right speakers you use for stereo

This switch also disables the PM8004’s front panel controls (input selection, volume, balance, etc.) so that the surround processor acts as the control center when you’re enjoying surround sound. Another three-second push on the Power Amp Direct button restores the PM8004 to normal stereo operation.
