SC-11S1 Control Amplifier

The heritage of the Marantz Model 7 and Model 9, which had an enormous impact on the audio industry more than 40 years ago, is being continued with a new model stereo pre-amplifier based on Marantz excellent SC-7S2. Using as many components as possible from this control amplifier and the same architecture as a guideline, the result is simply outstanding. Not only technical and audiophile but economical as well. Full balanced in-current feedback, guaranteeing excellent signal integrity, Wolfson high-linear electric volume control and the new Marantz own HDAM signal amplifier, guaranteeing precision high-speed signal handling are one of the appliances that makes this amplifier a true premium product.
