Saul Marantz, the legend behind our audio experiences, was a true pioneer of Hi-Fi. Surrounded by music, Marantz found that a home music system that met his exacting standards in the early 1950’s just did not exist. He envisioned a completely new architectural idea for sound reproduction, and employing his skill in electrical engineering, built the proof of his concept – the Audio Consolette, a Hi-Fi pre-amplifier designed for the home. In 1953, Saul’s passion project became a business and the Marantz Audio Company was born from his home in New York.

Making sound the Marantz way is a seamless fusion of art and science, practised by artisanal creators who balance and select components individually for their sonic qualities – they are the Sound Masters. Saul Marantz’ original acoustic philosophy to get the listener as close to the music as possible remains our mission today. Acoustic artisans create, tune and develop the warm, enveloping, detailed and spacious Marantz sound that is loved all over the world.
