60 years of Marantz: because music matters

It all started in 1948 when CBS introduced the first LP records, sparking the public’s interest in quality music reproduction. One of those who was swept along was music

lover, freelance graphic artist and amateur musician: Saul Bernard Marantz, a native New Yorker born in 1911. While he loved his LPs, he was deeply unhappy with the playback equipment available at the time, so he spent many hours in his basement designing, constructing and refining his own amplifiers to play his cherished LPs. Four years later he had perfected a revolutionary pre-amplifier – equipped with every equalizer curve he could find to handle the then unstable recording characteristics. He called it the ‘Audio Consolette’ and it made such a powerful impression on anyone who heard it that he decided to make and sell 100 sets. Less than 12 months later, more than 400 had been sold and the Marantz company had been established. To learn more about the company’s history, visit: www.marantz.co.uk.

The Audio Consolette was designed to reproduce the best sound possible for mono LPs, a newly designed music format at that time. The new Consolette does exactly the same for today’s formats, that’s why it is named after the original. It uses the finest of components and the very latest audio technologies, while the retro design reflects the prestige and heritage of Marantz’s outstanding 60-year audio pedigree. The new Consolette certainly has superior visual aesthetics, but when it plays, it doesn’t just reproduce high-quality audio, it floods the senses with energy, emotion, and passion. It effortlessly creates a panoramic stereo image that’s founded on a rich and deep bass performance. And because the “reference quality” tuning is designed by the legendary Ken Ishiwata, every detail is reflected with pin-point accuracy. Once heard, never forgotten.
