Marantz DNA
Since 1953
The Marantz story begins in the most humble of settings, a home in Queens, New York, and with a most extraordinary invention: The Audio Consolette. Join us as we take a look back at seven decades of Marantz audio innovation.

An Icon of Design
Marantz design is timelessly elegant. Expressing the musical soundscapes which the products create. Effortless control, immediate and accurate power, warmth of sound, material, touch and haptic feel. Our philosophy of balance and symmetry is evident in our sound, and our designs.
A Mark of Performance
Saul Marantz was one of the original architects of Hi-Fi amplification. The first of his kind, Saul used his unique expertise and philosophy to build groundbreaking audio experiences. His pioneering spirit is embodied in the name you see emblazoned on each and every one of our products.
The design thinking behind Model 30
So you may ask why, in this world of digital streaming, Marantz has made an all-new, all-analogue integrated amplifier? The answer is both simple and complex. Marantz chose, with the MODEL 30, to move the conversion from digital stream to analogue wave out of the amplifier altogether, and focus on the musicality of the sound in it’s analogue form.

Sound Thinking
Audio Consolette
For hi-fi lovers, the Marantz Audio Consolette is a true industry disruptor with a place at the top of this list. The story of the Audio Consolette begins with Saul Marantz and the inconsistencies in 78 rpm records from the early 1950s.
The Stunning Turntable That Still Turns Heads

Model 9

CD63
While the 60s is an oft recognized archetypal decade, few time periods have shaped our modern world as powerfully as the 1980s, especially the early part. Joining that energy was a digital audio technology that rocketed from the lab into the mainstream.
Model 19
In 1966, Superscope began exploring manufacturing possibilities with several Japanese manufacturers with a view to producing more accessible Marantz products with incredible quality.
