Founded in 1953 by audio engineer Saul Marantz in New York, Marantz has been synonymous with high-fidelity sound for over seven decades. The company's inaugural product, the "Consolette" preamplifier, set a new standard for audio quality, earning acclaim among audiophiles.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Marantz solidified its reputation with iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier and Model 9 power amplifier, which became benchmarks in the industry. In 1964, the company was acquired by Superscope Inc., leading to expanded production capabilities and global reach.
Marantz continued to innovate, embracing the digital era with the release of the CD-63, one of the earliest mass-adopted CD players, in 1982. In the early 2000s, Marantz merged with Denon to form D&M Holdings, further enhancing its technological prowess.
Today, as part of the Sound United family, Marantz remains dedicated to delivering unparalleled audio experiences. Their product lineup includes high-performance amplifiers, AV receivers, and network audio players, all designed to bring listeners closer to the music.
