Интегральные усилители — Marantz MODEL 30

The MODEL 30 is a premium integrated stereo amplifier from Marantz, built with the brand's custom Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module (HDAM) circuit technology and a comprehensive feature set including a built-in DAC and MM/MC phono stage. Part of Marantz's flagship 30 series alongside the matching SACD 30n, the MODEL 30 represents the fullest current expression of the brand's amplifier engineering.

Key specs that matter

Six single-ended analogue inputs are provided, with input sensitivity at 1,100mV and input impedance at 13k ohms. The built-in phono stage handles both MM cartridges (39k ohm impedance) and MC cartridges (250 ohm impedance) directly, alongside integrated D/A conversion for digital sources. Output power is 2 x 100W into 8 ohms, doubling cleanly to 2 x 200W into 4 ohms - a textbook power doubling indicating a robust, well-regulated power supply. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 5Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio reaches 107dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at an exceptionally low 0.005%, and a remarkable damping factor of 500, indicating outstanding control over connected loudspeaker driver movement. At 443 x 130 x 432mm and 14.8kg, the MODEL 30 shares its distinctive quilted, back-lit front panel design with the matching SACD 30n.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptional control and precision reflecting the remarkable damping factor of 500, combined with Marantz's characteristic musicality - the custom HDAM circuitry has long been central to Marantz's house sound, aiming to deliver measurably excellent performance without sacrificing the engaging, musical character the brand's amplifiers are broadly known for.

Pairing

The built-in MM/MC phono stage and DAC cover both vinyl and digital sources directly without additional outboard components, and the MODEL 30 forms a purpose-matched pair with the Marantz SACD 30n disc player and digital hub for a coherently voiced, visually matched system.

Alternatives

Marantz's broader Model 30 series and separates catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting to build a system piece by piece rather than in this comprehensive single integrated amplifier chassis. Marantz's decades of continuous amplifier refinement, tracing back through numerous prior HDAM implementations, culminate in this current MODEL 30 as arguably the brand's most complete current expression of that accumulated engineering knowledge. Recommended overall for buyers seeking a comprehensive single-chassis solution.
