Marantz AMP 20 12-Channel Power Amplifier
Experience reference-level home theater audio with the Marantz AMP 20 power amplifier. This 12-channel powerhouse delivers the clean, dynamic power needed to drive even the most demanding speaker systems. Whether you're creating an immersive Dolby Atmos setup or a high-performance multi-room audio system, the AMP 20 provides the foundation for extraordinary sound reproduction.
Exceptional Power and Performance
The AMP 20 delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms. For demanding 4-ohm speakers, it provides a robust 400 watts per channel. Bridge-tied load (BTL) operation doubles the power to 400 watts for speakers requiring maximum drive capability.
Advanced Class D Technology
Custom-developed Class D amplification delivers exceptional efficiency while maintaining the musical character Marantz is known for. The refined HDAM-SA2 (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology preserves signal integrity and dynamic response. This combination creates incredibly detailed sound reproduction with minimal heat generation and power consumption, making it ideal for enclosed installations.
Professional-Grade Connectivity
Each of the twelve channels features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, selectable via switches. This dual-input design provides maximum flexibility for system integration while ensuring pristine signal quality. The balanced connections are particularly valuable in complex installations where long cable runs or potential interference could compromise audio quality.
Versatile Configuration Options
The AMP 20 excels in multiple roles within your audio system. Use all twelve channels for expansive surround sound formats, configure channels for bi-amping high-performance speakers, or employ BTL mode for speakers requiring maximum power. The amplifier integrates seamlessly with many AV processors or preamplifiers, making it an ideal choice for both Marantz and third-party systems.
Control and Monitoring Features
The signature analog level meter provides real-time visual feedback of output levels while adding the classic Marantz aesthetic to your equipment rack. Comprehensive control options include RS232 for professional installations, IR flasher input for remote operation, DC trigger input/output for automated system control, and Marantz Remote Bus connectivity for seamless integration with other Marantz components.
