FEATURES INTEGRARED AMPLIFIER PM-11S1 DISPLAY ATT. TONE PRE OUT REC OUT INPUT SELECTOR VOLUME POWER ON/OFF SPEAKER B PHONES The PM-11S1 is an integrated amplifier developed on the concepts of Marantz’s SC-7S1 and MA-9S1 flagship amplifiers. • HDAM SA2 The HDAMSA2 is an evolved version of the HDAMSA incorporated into the SC-7S1 and MA-9S1. It drives the phono amplifier, balance buffer, line buffer, volume amplifier, voltage amplifier and power buffer that comprise the PM-11S1.
ENGLISH ENGLISH BEFORE USE 7 Equipment mains working setting 7 Battery Handling Your Marantz product has been prepared to comply with the household power and safety requirements that exist in your area. PM-11S1 can be powered by 120V AC only. Improper use of dry cell batteries can result in electrolyte leaks, rupture and corrosion. Read the following precautions before use. • If not planning to use the remote controller for an extended period of 1 month or more, remove the batteries.
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS • Be careful not to short circuit in wiring speaker cables. • Peel off the corting of speaker cable as shown below. Approx. 1 cm Cut the corting of cable. Peel off the edge of cable. Twist conductors. w There are two ways to connect the XLR connectors. 1.In the USA • Wiring with speaker cable. COLD 2 1 GND 3 HOT 2.In Europe HOT 2 1 GND Turn counter-clockwise to loosen. Insert conductor of cable. Turn clockwise to tighten.
ENGLISH ENGLISH BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS Here following are explained two types of connections that improve sound quality. The speakers in these explanations have low and mid/high input jacks that support a bi-amp connection. To determine whether or not your speakers support a biamp connection, check in the instruction manual that came with your speakers or contact the manufacturer.
CONNECTIONS Connection Example 1: Basic Connection for Normal Stereo Playback Refer also to the instruction manuals of components to connect equipment correctly. • Use a bi-wiring connection for speakers. Set the SPEAKER A and B buttons on the front panel in the ON position. • If using speakers that do not support a bi-wiring connection, connect them to either the SPEAKER SYSTEM A or B terminals. • If using an active subwoofer, set the PRE OUT button on the front panel in the ON position.
CONNECTIONS Connection Example 2: Basic Connection for 5.1 Multi-Channel Playback Using 3 PM-11S1 The three PM-11S1s are connected by FCBS. For the FCBS connection, prepare 3 portable audio connection cables with monaural ⇔ monaural miniplugs or stereo ⇔ stereo miniplugs as described “ABOUT FCBS” on pg. 15. Set the ID numbers for the PM11S1 units as explained “HOW TO SET ID” on pg. 19. When the PM-11S1 of ID 1 is operated, those of ID 2 and ID 3 will operate in sync.

HOW TO USE AND SET FEATURES The PM-11S1 is equipped with a bi-amp mode to enable a complete bi-amp connection using two PM-11S1s. This complete bi-amp connection is a high-end technique for enhancing sound quality, proposed by Marantz. With it, the biamp supporting speaker system is separated from the preamplifiers that separately drive the low and high speakers. (For more information, see Connection Example 3.
HOW TO USE AND SET FEATURES 2. Set the attenuation level. The setting changes with each ENGLISH ENGLISH ATTENUATION (ATT) press of the ATT button on the PM-11S1. Attenuation is a one-touch feature for reducing volume level. When the ATT button on either the PM-11S1 or the remote controller is pressed, the volume level is attenuated. When the PM-11S1 is shipped from the factory, the attenuation level is set to –20 dB, but it can be set to –20 dB, -40 dB or -∞. 1.
