Advanced Stereo Tuner from Marantz
Marantz Professional has announced the release of the ST6001P FM/MW/LW stereo tuner. The ST6001P continues the legendary Marantz tradition of tuner performance with a digitally-synthesized ‘front end’, optimised for both high sensitivity and high selectivity. This makes the ST6001P a great choice for both urban and rural areas.
The audio circuitry follows this same high-quality pattern with custom-selected parts in a meticulous layout to maximise signal quality while minimising interference. In addition, the ST6001 P boasts a wide variety of convenience features including 60-station programmability with custom naming to help the listener get to their favourite broadcasts easily. The sleep timer function will allow them to fall asleep to the station of their choice.
The tuner's high-sensitivity front-end and quartz-locked digital tuning ensure low noise signal processing and drift-free reception of stereo FM, MW and LW. Two antenna inputs (A & B) allow terrestrial and cable radio to be connected in parallel. An attenuator is also provided for when required.
Wide/narrow switching options make it possible to choose between sensitivity and selectivity when tuning, in order to obtain the best sound quality, while the 60 presets apply to all wavebands, providing instant recall of preferred stations (a D-Bus facilitates total remote control).
The components are specially made for Marantz in co-operation with the company’s engineers. On the densely used FM frequency band (especially on the cable radio network), noise and whistle adjustment can be very difficult. With the ST6001P’s Bandwidth Selector the user can narrow the filtered bandwidth, resulting in accurate tuning to the preferred radio station. The wide bandwidth selection offers the best sound quality.
Radio station information is displayed on the dot matrix display of the tuner, The Radio Data System (RDS) provides general data, such as the name of the radio station, programming information and time (the sleep/timer function offers full programmability of the switch on and off operation of the system, including the amplifier).
Finally, the solid aluminium front panel underlines the attention to detail of an exceptional stereo tuner that upholds the Marantz tradition for quality.
