Soundbars provide the ultimate home theater convenience, but true audiophiles know they fall short when it comes to sound quality. Enter the Marantz Model M1, a game-changing audio streamer that lets you skip the soundbar altogether and experience music (and movies) the way they were meant to be heard.
Marantz, a legendary name in high-end audio, has designed the Model M1 to be the heart of your home entertainment system – for less than $1,000. Think of it as an all-in-one solution for music lovers who crave exceptional sound.
The Model M1 boasts a versatile feature set that caters to both digital and physical media enthusiasts. Stream your favorite tunes via HEOS app integration with Tidal and Roon, or use Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and AirPlay2 for seamless wireless connectivity. Feeling nostalgic? No problem – line-level RCA analog inputs allow you to connect a turntable, cassette deck, or any other legacy audio device to enjoy your vinyl collection or old tapes.
Marantz understands that movie nights are important too. That’s why they’ve equipped the streamer with an eARC HDMI input. This lets you control the sound of your TV with your regular remote, while features like a “Dialogue Enhancer” ensure crystal-clear speech even at low volumes.
Marantz isn’t messing around when it comes to audio quality. The Model M1 packs a powerful 100W stereo output with a vanishingly low 0.005% total harmonic distortion (THD) – specs typically found in much more expensive amplifiers. Plus, it supports high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz PCM audio, exceeding the capabilities of most compact amplifiers. And if you crave that deep bass, the Model M1 can even handle a subwoofer for a true 2.1-channel setup.
Whether you prefer bookshelf speakers or towering floorstanders, the Model M1 will help you unlock their full potential. Add it to your home theater here.
