Pure analogue sound

With its purely analogue amplifier, the Marantz Model 50 goes back to basics. The precision-engineered, Class A/B amplifier reveals the subtlest details in your music yet is still powerful enough to let rip when the music demands. The six inputs include a dedicated phono stage that’s specially developed to extract the most from your deck. Separate pre/power links give the potential for future upgrades.

Superior sound quality – with HDAM

This premium amp uses Marantz's own HDAM-SA3 (Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuits. These bespoke op-amps use surface-mount metal-film resistors for greater temperature stability. The upshot is a cleaner, less distorted sound that’s delivered with perfect clarity.

Power to spare

Featuring 70 watts per channel, the Marantz Model 50 has ample power for room-filling sound. The double shielded, toroidal power transformer helps gives this Marantz amp sustained power, with low noise and quiet running – perfect for hearing every detail from your favourite music. For an even more powerful bass response, simply use the subwoofer output to connect your choice of active sub.

Connect your analogue sources – including turntable

With five, line level inputs, the Model 50 easily connects to your CD player, tuner, streamer, set-top TV box and more. For recording devices, there’s also an analogue output. The dedicated turntable input is a high performance device, with discreet components for superior sound quality. Suitable for use with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, this phono pre-amp extracts the maximum information from your turntable’s signal.

Flexible connections for future updates

Fitted with pre-out and power-amp in connections, the Model 50 is ready for any future system upgrades. Use the pre-out to connect to a more advanced power amplifier at a later date. The power-amp input lets you incorporate the amp into a home cinema system or add a higher spec, stereo pre-amp for an even purer sound.

Premium build quality

Inspired by classic Marantz products, the Model 50 has a timeless style and premium finish. Using a thick, non-magnetic aluminium front panel and a steel top cover, the amp resists both mechanical and electrical interference. All the controls are finished to the highest standards, making it a joy to use.

Who is Marantz?

Marantz is one of the world's most famous hifi brands and was started in 1948 by New Yorker, Saul Marantz, an amateur musician and audio enthusiast who was dissatisfied with the amplifier products available at that time. He decided to build phono pre-amps which could handle all manner of recording equalisations popular in the day, and his friends persuaded him to build them one too. This quickly took all of Saul's time, as he was overwhelmed with orders - the Marantz company we know today was born.
