Marantz MODEL 30 Premium Integrated Amplifier The Marantz MODEL 30 is a premium integrated stereo amplifier built for listeners who want modern power with classic Marantz musicality. Delivering 100 watts per channel into 8Ω (200W per channel into 4Ω), it pairs a high-current, low-distortion amplifier stage with Marantz HDAM-SA3 discrete circuitry for refined detail, dynamic control, and a smooth, engaging presentation. Vinyl fans will love the built-in MM/MC phono stage with selectable MC loading options, while purists can engage Source Direct to bypass tone circuits for a cleaner signal path. With rugged long-life construction, a porthole-style OLED display, premium terminals, and Power Amp Direct / Pre Out flexibility, the MODEL 30 anchors a serious two-channel hi-fi system for years to come. The Marantz MODEL 30 is part of ListenUp's Marantz Amplifiers Collection.

Yes. It includes a built-in MM/MC phono input with selectable MC Low/Mid/High settings, so you can match a wide range of cartridges without needing an external phono preamp. How much power does the MODEL 30 deliver per channel? It’s rated at 100W x 2 into 8Ω and 200W x 2 into 4Ω (both channels driven), providing strong headroom for many bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. Can I use the MODEL 30 as a dedicated power amplifier? Yes. It includes Power Amp Direct (Ext. Pre In)—switch to the PWR AMP input to bypass the integrated control section and use it with an external preamp. Can I connect a separate power amp or subwoofer amp to this unit? Yes. The MODEL 30 includes Pre Out (1.6 V / 220 Ω), letting you feed an external amplifier or powered components that accept line-level input. Does the MODEL 30 include streaming features like HEOS, Wi-Fi, or AirPlay 2? No. The MODEL 30 is a pure two-channel integrated amplifier with no built-in network streaming, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, AirPlay 2, or HEOS. Does it have digital inputs or an internal DAC? No. There are no optical/coaxial/USB digital inputs and no onboard DAC—it’s designed for analog sources or an external DAC. What does Source Direct do? Source Direct bypasses the tone and balance control circuitry to reduce signal-path complexity for a cleaner, more transparent sound. Does the MODEL 30 have balanced XLR inputs or dual speaker outputs (A/B)? No. It does not include balanced XLR inputs and does not provide dual A/B speaker terminals.
