This unit has an all-stage balanced configuration and the
power amplifier receives output via a BTL (Bridged
Transless) connection. Both the positive and negative
terminals of the speakers are directly driven by the output
stage of the power amplifier to exhibit a high drive capacity.
Furthermore, since the drive current of the speakers does
not flow directly into the ground circuit, the voltage that
serves as the basis of the amplification is stabilized,
reducing noise and interference between circuits, so that
amplification is conducted accurately.

Linear Control Volume
The control knob had adopted the high-end model design
concept. For better S/N ratio, the MAS6116 from Micro
Analog Systems and the HDAM
®
SA3 have been
combined, which enables smooth adjustment in the range
of 0 to −100 dB in units of ±0.5 dB.
0
Hypex Switching Power Amplifier Module
The power amplifier uses a total of 4 Hypex NCore
®
switching power amplifier modules with BTL connections.
The switching amplifier modules exhibit extremely
excellent performance with minimal distortion from low to
high frequency and no frequency response change
regardless of speaker impedance. Combined use with a
high-speed pre amplifier circuit using HDAM
®
SA3 faithfully
and precisely reproduces the detailed information in DSD
and high-resolution sound sources.
0
Dual-Amplifier Structure
Amplifier of this unit has dual structure, pre amplifier and
power buffer, adopting high-end model design concept.
This dual structure enables the power buffer amplifier to
drive the speakers powerfully, preventing influence from
the back electromagnetic force from the speakers. The pre
amplifier drives the power buffer with super-low distortion.
0
Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer
This unit incorporates the constant current feedback phono
equalizer which had been developed for high-end models.
This equalizer, developed by Marantz, has the advantages
of both NF-type and CR-type phono equalizers, and it
supports both MM and MC cartridges. The PHONO input
terminal is also equipped with an input impedance switch.
In addition to cartridges with medium to high impedance, it
provides the optimal impedance for cartridges with low
impedances of about 2 to 10 Ω/ohms which are
representative of high-end brand cartridges.
0
High Sound Quality Parts Employed
High sound quality parts are used in every part of the
circuit, including newly adopted high sound quality MELF
resistors and film capacitors.
0
Display
This unit adopts an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display
the input source and volume level. Compared with other
types of display panels, an LCD requires less drive power
and generates less radiation noise, which minimizes any
adverse effect on sound quality.

F.C.B.S.
A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the user
to connect up to four PM-10 units, making a diversity of
applications possible with complete bi-amp and
multichannel connections. Moreover, a ground loop is not
formed among multiple PM-10 units connected; therefore,
sound quality is not adversely affected.
0
BI-AMP Mode
Complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz
enables a level of reproduction of the acoustic field never
before achieved. Synchronized operation of two PM-10
units is made possible by F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus
System) connection, with each PM-10 in Bi-Amp mode
working as a monaural integrated amplifier.

F.C.B.S. connection
The Marantz F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is the high quality sound system for link control between multiple PM-10 units (up to 4 units). Each unit is controlled via its ID number
registered beforehand.
The ID numbers need to be set to an operating unit (master) and a subordinate unit (slave) receiving the command from the master. For slave units, register ID numbers in the order of command
reception from the master.
Once registered the ID numbers, the units will enable link control operations such as input selection, volume control, on/off selection of muting, display, etc.
Furthermore, F.C.B.S. connection of multiple units has the feature that switches this unit's output from stereo to monaural so that the unit can works as a monaural output amplifier. Follow the
respective instructions to make the necessary settings.

Making the F.C.B.S. connection
To use multiple PM-10 units, make this connection in

Speaker Positioning for Super Audio
Multi-channel Sound
In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound
with the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to
position speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Super
Audio CD multichannel discs are recorded and mixed so
as to achieve the optimum effect with a speaker system
laid out as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1.
0
With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music
signals are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 - 6
channels sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for
subwoofer) is recorded as a sixth channel.
0
Each disc indicates how many channels have been
recorded on it.
0
The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the
back since multi-channel discs usually have 5
channels. The 2 front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear)
speakers should be set in a circle around the listening
point. If using speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume
balance from the amplifier.

The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for
explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in
the room. For connection and positioning instructions,

Explanation of terms
MM/MC cartridge
There are two types--MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving
Coil)--of cartridges for turntable. As the output levels for these
two types of cartridges differ, the setting of the phono
equalizer that is mounted in this unit must be switched
according to the type of cartridge for your turntable. Change
this setting in the “PHONO” section of the setting
menu. (v
p. 21)
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the
power supply when an abnormality such as an overload,
excess voltage occurs or over temperature for any reason.
If a malfunction occurs in this unit, the power indicator blinks
red and the unit switches to standby mode.
