“A practical, well furnished just-add-speakers streaming system that impresses with its entertaining performance.” ‘What Hi-Fi’ – 5 Star review. Tested at £999.
A top quality amp that happens to be a first-rate streamer, too
At the heart of the PM7000N is a top quality amplifier that’s powerful enough for larger rooms but detailed enough for all music lovers. This is matched by a versatile network streamer that covers a huge range of options. These include Bluetooth, wi-fi, AirPlay 2, Internet radio, HEOS, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer plus much more. You can even operate the amp with voice control – via Alexa, Google and Siri.
Putting quality sound first
Despite all its features, the PM7000N amplifier uses quality components for a graceful sound. This high-end Marantz amp uses a discrete current feedback design with Marantz's own HDAM SA3 and SA2 amplifier modules. Usually reserved for much more expensive models, these op-amps use surface-mount metal-film resistors for greater temperature stability. The upshot is a cleaner, less distorted sound, whatever the volume.
Hi-Res music compatible
The quality sound continues with the choice of internal DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). Using the highly rated Asahi-kasei AK4490EQ chipset, the PM7000N is able to stream Hi-Res 192kHz/24 bit signals through all its digital inputs. Connect via the USB and the PM7000N also decodes DSD files up to 5.6MHz.
Room-filling power
Using a large toroidal power transformer and high value output capacitors, the Marantz PM7000N produces an effortless 60 watts per channel. This is ample for larger rooms and is ideal for getting the best from even the most inefficient speakers. If you feel your current system isn’t making the most of your speakers, then try this and hear just what they’re capable of.
Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, DLNA and built-in wi-fi for the complete networking experience
With both Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 connectivity, it's easy to connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible lap/desktops and stream music wirelessly. The PM7000N also comes with wi-fi, Internet radio and DLNA. Simply connect to your home network via Ethernet or wi-fi and access thousands of Internet radio sites via vTuner as well as subscription services such as Spotify Connect (Premium Spotify account required), Tidal, Deezer and Amazon Prime Music. DLNA compatibility lets you stream from other sources such as your laptop or NAS drive.
Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices
For the latest in smart home tech, Marantz have made the PM7000N compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices. Simply download the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill app and then just ask Alexa or the Google Assistant to perform functions such as volume and source selection. Using the Apple Home App, Siri voice control from your Apple iOS device brings added functionality over AirPlay 2 – including grouping devices.
HEOS built-in - for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the PM7000N is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
Control it all with the HEOS app
Once you've set up your HEOS speaker system, you can stream music effortlessly via the dedicated HEOS app. Available for Apple iOS, Android and Amazon Kindle, the app not only lets you stream your stored music but also Internet radio services and popular streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Napster and Deezer.
Connect it all – including a turntable
For the highest quality network streaming, the PM7000N features a USB input – perfect for your computer, laptop or hard drive. For other digital sources, there are two optical and one coaxial inlets. Three analogue inputs are perfect for Hi-Fi components, with the dedicated MM phono input ideal for plugging in a turntable.
