MARANTZ Model 30
A masterpiece of audio architecture
The MODEL 30 delivers exceptional sound quality – thanks to discrete two-stage design for minimal noise rustling, as well as unique Marantz HDAM technology for optimal signal purity.
Exquisite sound tuning
The MODEL 30 continues the renowned heritage of exquisite Marantz amplifiers. It has been fine-tuned by the Marantz Soundmaster and benefits from all their passion and experience, as well as their extraordinary ear.
Extremely musical, precise and detailed sound
The MODEL 30 is based on a custom HDAM (Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module), a circuit board with discrete circuits.
Built for generations
Like its counterpart, the SACD 30n streaming CD player, the MODEL 30 integrated amplifier was designed to meet the highest demands.
More than 65 years of audiophile expertise
Founded in 1953, Marantz has a long history and extensive experience in designing audio components that are popular with discerning music lovers worldwide.
Marantz Musical Premium Phono EQ
The MODEL 30’s phono EQ stage simplifies the signal path – which is critical given the sensitivity of phono signals – for optimal sound quality.
Thanks to built-in MC cartridge amplifier, the unit can be used with MC cartridges with low output voltage as well as with MM cartridges.
Input impedance selector for MC/MM phono
The MODEL 30 offers optimal sound quality with MC and MM pickup. It is equipped with a three-stage input impedance switching to further optimize the sound performance when using a cartridge with MC system.
