Marantz has announced a new integrated amplifier called the Model 60n. The Model 60 is a stereo amplifier with analog and digital inputs and it also has the streaming platform Heos from sister brand Denon on board. According to the designers, the Model 60n combines excellent performance with flexibility and advanced technology. As a result, the MODEL 60n offers an ideal combination of versatile functions and the warm musicality that Marantz is known for.
Marantz Model 60n: warm, musical, powerful and versatile
With 60 watts per channel of Class AB power, the Model 60n features the latest Marantz acclaimed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology. This provides an outstanding combination of low distortion, effortless power, and the accuracy, transparency and musicality that distinguish Marantz amplifiers. In addition to three analog inputs, the Model 60n has a high-quality built-in phono amplifier.
For digital music sources such as CD, TV or media player, the Model 60n relies on the built-in ESS Sabre DAC chip that can receive music signals from various digital inputs. The presence of HEOS allows streaming from a wide range of music services via WiFi or Ethernet (RJ-45). With Heos, the MODEL 60n is also suitable for seamless integration into a multi-room system throughout the home in combination with other products that have Heos on board. Music from mobile devices can be accessed via Bluetooth, Spotify Connect and AirPlay2. The Roon Ready support and the ability to play 24/192 kHz or DSD 5.6MHz high-resolution audio files means that even the most demanding music lovers can be satisfied. An over-the-air update shortly after launch will extend this support to 32/384kHz and DSD 11.2MHz audio files.
Home entertainment enthusiasts will also get their money’s worth thanks to the Model 60n’s HDMI ARC input and subwoofer output. So if you don’t need two-channel audio with video content, the Model 60n will do just fine.
The recommended retail price of the Marantz Model 60 is 1,500 euros and the buyer can choose between a black and silver version. Delivery will start later this month.
