GENERAL DESCRIPTION

With the exception of the CRT, the Model Eighteen is an all transistor
receiver, based on the same advanced circuits used in the Marantz
Model IOB Tuner, 7T Solid State Preamplifier, and 15 Solid State Power
Amplifier. Its circuitry includes 73 transistors and 76 diodes, a total of
149 solid-state devices. A tuner, preamplifier, and power amplifier make
up the three basic components mounted on a single chassis and sharing
a common power supply. Internal connections between these compo-
nents have been designed to provide optimum performance from each
component while retaining the full flexibility of separate units. The
extraordinary flexibility of the Eighteen allows the connection of two
pairs of loudspeakers, headphones, a turntable and record changer, an
additional tuner (such as AM/FM), a TV sound source, and two tape
recorders for record, playback and tape copying functions. Its flexi-
bility will allow other connections to be made for special applications.
Its performance is the equal of the finest separate component system
of comparable power.
