AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: Amplifier from the renowned MARANTZ company, model PM493, which tests both its compatibility with period video devices and with accessory units designed for direct coupling to achieve a complete sound reproduction system. The PHONO section is suitable for magnetic cartridge pickups, still widespread today.
The functions are the essential ones for extreme ease of use and, above all, to limit signal passage through filters and controls, thereby reducing distortion. The result is a powerful and pleasant sound to listen to, clean and crystal-clear also thanks to its 50 watts per channel, optimized for even challenging speakers to drive.
The unit for sale can be controlled by a remote, though not included.
Looking at the rear photos, one notes the absence of TAPE and TUNER inputs, although they are among the selectable input options. The reason for this absence, as mentioned, lies in the fact that the device was designed to couple directly with radio components and cassette deck, so the inputs are present on the particular AUDIO connector visible in the same photo next to the label SYSTEM CONTROL.
On request and at an additional cost, an adapter will be provided to transfer these inputs to normal floating RCA jacks.
If an equalizer is not available, for proper operation it is necessary to use 14 mm jumpers to join the inputs and GEQ outputs, or a male/male stereo RCA cable to bridge the inputs and outputs reserved for the equalizer.
The main technical specifications can be summarized as follows:
Power output: 50 watts per channel into 8Ω
Frequency response: 10 Hz to 50 kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.1%
Damping factor: 45
Input sensitivity: 4.5 mV (MM), 400 mV (line)
Signal to noise ratio: 75 dB (MM), 90 dB (line)
Video Connections: composite
Dimensions: 360 x 110 x 300 mm
Weight: 5.7 kg
Condition:
Revised and perfectly functioning with no channel noise in volume, tone, or balance controls.
Esthetically, almost like new, note, as shown in the photo, only a barely visible color variation in the form of a circle on the top panel of about 1.5 cm and an equally invisible fading of the M on the front logo.
The photos are an integral part of the condition, both internal and external, and as per a private sale, it is sold under a "as seen and liked" basis with exclusion of any current or future warranty.
The amplifier is sold in working condition as shown in the demonstration video and any damage during transport cannot be grounds for complaint.
Thank you and Good Music to all.
