Press Release
Building on the award-winning legacy of the PM6007 and CD6007
July 15, 2026: Marantz, one of the most revered names in high-end audio for more than 70 years, is proud to introduce two new additions to its distinguished hi-fi portfolio: the MODEL 70 Integrated Amplifier and CD 70 CD Player.
Building upon the acclaimed success of the award-winning PM6007 and CD6007, the new MODEL 70 and CD 70 represent the next evolution of Marantz's entry-level hi-fi offering. Designed for today's music lovers, they combine the brand's celebrated sound signature, refined craftsmanship and premium industrial design with enhanced performance and features tailored to contemporary listening habits.
Together, MODEL 70 and CD 70 deliver an elevated listening experience that remains true to Marantz’s heritage while embracing the expectations of a new generation of audio enthusiasts.
Timeless Marantz design, reimagined
MODEL 70 and CD 70 introduce Marantz’s latest design language to a new generation of listeners, extending the sophistication and elegance of the brand’s premium product range beyond traditional hi-fi audiences to those who value both exceptional sound and refined design in their everyday lives.
Both components feature Marantz’s distinctive full-width architecture, high-quality materials and carefully considered detailing. Available in Black and Silver-Gold finishes, their clean, contemporary aesthetic is designed to complement modern living spaces, appealing to culture-driven consumers who see audio as an integral part of their home environment, not just a standalone system.
Beyond their visual appeal, every aspect of each product’s construction has been engineered to deliver an elevated listening experience. From optimized internal layouts and carefully selected components to vibration-resistant chassis structures, MODEL 70 and CD 70 are crafted to bring performance, versatility, and effortless enjoyment to a broader, more design-forward audience—without compromising the sonic excellence Marantz is known for.
The Signature Marantz Sound
At the heart of MODEL 70 lies everything listeners have come to expect from Marantz: a warm, detailed and deeply musical sound signature.
The amplifier employs an upgraded current-feedback Class A/B amplification topology delivering 50 watts per channel, supported by an enhanced power supply and larger toroidal transformer. The result is greater dynamic expression, improved speaker control and increased authority across a wide range of loudspeaker pairings.
A high-performance DAC ensures exceptional digital playback quality, while Marantz's proprietary HDAM circuitry preserves the speed, accuracy and musical character that define the brand's renowned sound.
For vinyl enthusiasts, a high-quality MM phono stage allows direct turntable connection, bringing the richness and emotional engagement of analog playback to life.
Designed for modern lifestyles
MODEL 70 has been designed to fit naturally into the way customers enjoy listening today.
The addition of HDMI ARC elevates television audio performance while retaining the simplicity of TV remote volume control. Meanwhile, BluetoothTM connectivity has also been significantly expanded, supporting both receive and transmit functionality with aptXTM Adaptive, aptX HD, AAC and SBC codecs. Users can effortlessly stream music in high quality from compatible mobile devices or enjoy personal music or even TV listening through wireless headphones.
A comprehensive range of analog and digital inputs, together with both preamplifier and subwoofer outputs, ensures exceptional flexibility for a broad range of listening environments and system configurations.
Dedicated CD performance, elevated
For listeners who continue to value physical media and high-resolution digital collections, CD 70 continues Marantz's long-standing commitment to exceptional disc playback.
Engineered around the same high-performance DAC as found in the MODEL 70 plus proprietary HDAM circuitry, CD 70 delivers detailed, expressive and emotionally engaging reproduction of compact discs, extracting every nuance from treasured music collections. The front-panel USB-A input adds significant versatility, supporting playback of high-resolution audio formats including FLAC HD, ALAC, AIFF and DSD, making CD 70 an ideal partner for extensive digital music libraries.
Every aspect of the CD 70’s construction has been carefully optimised to minimise noise and preserve musical detail. An upgraded power supply, double-layered chassis base, rigid isolation feet and strategically deployed copper hardware all contribute to improved stability and reduced interference.
For personal listening, a fully discrete headphone amplifier featuring HDAM technology, adjustable gain control and automatic headphone detection provides an engaging and refined listening experience without requiring additional equipment.
Crafted for performance and sustainability
In keeping with Marantz's ongoing sustainability initiatives, MODEL 70 and CD 70 are packaged using environmentally conscious materials designed to reduce plastic consumption while maintaining a premium ownership experience. Responsibly sourced FSC-certified carton materials, paper-based protective elements and thoughtfully designed packaging solutions help minimise environmental impact without compromising product presentation.
The perfect pairing
While MODEL 70 and CD 70 excel individually, together they form a complete Marantz hi-fi system that combines exceptional sonic synergy with elegant design and everyday usability.
For first-time hi-fi buyers, experienced music enthusiasts and loyal Marantz customers alike, the pairing represents an inviting gateway into premium audio. It blends the emotional appeal of Marantz’s storied heritage with contemporary features, refined craftsmanship and the unmistakable musicality that has defined the brand for generations.
Commenting on the launch, Lyle Smith, President of Sound United brands at HARMAN, said:
"MODEL 70 and CD 70 perfectly capture what Marantz stands for today. They honor the legacy of two
of our most successful and celebrated products while introducing a new level of design sophistication, performance and versatility. Each component is designed for music lovers who want authentic hi-fi performance, beautiful craftsmanship and effortless integration into their modern lifestyle. Together,
they perfectly represent Marantz's enduring commitment to musical excellence."
