Overview

Discover greater depth, detail, and emotion in your favorite recordings with the Marantz MODEL 50 Integrated Stereo Amplifier. Designed around a dedicated analog signal path, MODEL 50 combines powerful amplification, versatile connections, and elegant styling to create the heart of a rewarding stereo system.

Its Class AB amplifier delivers 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms, bringing expressive dynamics and confident control to compatible loudspeakers. Marantz’s proprietary HDAM circuitry and current-feedback architecture preserve musical nuance, while a toroidal transformer provides a substantial power foundation.

The integrated Marantz Musical Phono EQ moving-magnet stage connects directly to a compatible turntable. Additional analog inputs accommodate a CD player, streamer, tuner, and other sources, making MODEL 50 a flexible centerpiece for your music collection.

Stereo preamplifier outputs, a dedicated powered-subwoofer output, and a power amplifier input provide room to expand your system. Speaker A/B connections support alternative speaker placement or compatible bi-wiring configurations, while the front headphone connection welcomes quieter listening sessions.

Available in Black and Silver Gold, MODEL 50 pairs its musical performance with a metal front panel, tactile controls, and the signature Marantz porthole display.

Important Notes

Moving-coil cartridges require a suitable external phono preamplifier. When using both speaker sets simultaneously, follow the manufacturer’s speaker-impedance requirements.
