  • Key Specs
    • Drive Type: Belt drive
    • Operation Type: Manual (Automatic turntables move the tonearm into position to begin playing a record and remove it when the record is finished, typically with a single push of a button. Semi-automatic turntables require user interaction to place the tonearm inititally, but will automatically remove it after playback. Manual turntables require the user to place and remove the tonearm as needed.)

    • Cartridge Type Included: MM (Moving Magnet) (Phono cartridges translate the grooves in a record into electrical signals to produce sound. There are two main types: moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC). Generally, MM cartridges have a robust design and high output levels. MC cartridges have an inverse design of MM that is lightweight and more precise, but usually require a preamp to boost their lower output signals.)

A: The platter is made of acrylic.

Q: What type of motor does this Marantz turntable have?

A: The Marantz TT-15S1 turntable has a non-servo controlled AC motor.

Q: can I use this turntable without a pre-amp ? If I must have a preamp, can you recommend a preamp. Can I connect it to an amp that has wireless speakers ? If so, can you recommend a suitable amp to properly support the turntable

A: Hello. The TT-15S1 does require a pre-amp. If you want to keep things simple, you can opt for an amplifier with the phono pre-amp built-in. Our PM7000N is our recommendation because not only does it have a phono pre-amp built-in, but it also has a HEOS engine. This means you can partner it with wired speakers, or with Denon's Home wireless speakers (they come in three sizes and a wireless sub-woofer can be added too). The HESO engine in the PM7000N also provides you with access to many popular streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon HD, SiriusXM and TuneIn Radio.

Q: does this have a phono pre-amp build in?

A: No, it requires a preamp.
