Model 3600B
Commentary

A control amplifier that fully incorporates Marantz's idea that the preamplifier should be like this.

In designing the basic circuit, the input source as much as possible and each component on the circuit are programmed into a computer, and simulation is carried out many times to obtain the highest value in each characteristic such as harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, S/N ratio, etc..
In addition, listening tests are conducted using the know-how obtained through experience and ears.

The rear panel has terminals for the main and remote speakers, which can be switched by the control amplifier.

Equipped with scope output, input waveform can be observed in combination with Tuner Model150.

There were Mahogany wood cabinet and rack mount adapter as options sold separately.
