Solid state Stereo Preamp. Precision crafted in USA from 1973 to 1976

The Models 33, 3300, and 3600 were produced in 1973 under the guidance of Chief Engineer Dawson Hadley, recently engaged by Saul Marantz himself, before the company moved to CA, but also of James Bongiorno and other engineers.

Front panel anodized silver. Top center (from top to bottom): Marantz logo, pilot lamp (turned on in blue when the device is working) and the lettering Model 3300.  From left to right, upper level: Dubbing jacks (In/Out) – Tone control (Flat/In/Loudness) – Hi filter (5K/Out/9K) –  Left/Right treble control – Tape 1/Tape 2 Monitor – Left/Right bass control – Volume – Selector (Mic/Phono 2/Phono 1/Tuner/Aux 1/ Aux 2). Lower level: Phones jack – Power – Speaker (Off/System 1/ System 2/ Both) – Low filter (50/Out/100) – Balance – Mode (R[ight]/L[eft]/Stereo/Stereo reverse/ L+R) 

Il model 33, il 3300 e il 3600 furono prodotti nel 1973 sotto la direzione dell’ingegnere capo Dawson Hadley, ingaggiato dallo stesso Saul Marantz poco prima che la compagnia si trasferisse in California, ma anche con la collaborazione di James Buongiorno e altri ingegneri.

Pannello frontale in anodizzato argento. Im alto al centro prima il logo Marantz, poi la lampadina spia che si illumina in blue quando l’unità è in funzione e più sotto la dicitura Model 3300. Da sinistra a destra, livello superiore: Dubbing jack (In/Out) – Controlli di tono (Flat/In/Loudness) – Hi filter (5K/Out/9K) –  Left/Right treble control – Tape 1/Tape 2 Monitor – Left/Right bass control – Volume – Selector (Mic/Phono 2/Phono 1/Tuner/Aux 1/ Aux 2). Lower level: Phones jack – Power – Speaker (Off/System 1/ System 2/ Both) – Low filter (50/Out/100) – Balance – Mode (R[ight]/L[eft]/Stereo/Stereo reverse/ L+R) 

Back panel (sections from left to right), Chassis ground – Inputs (Mic/Phono 2/Phono1/ Tuner/ Aux 1/ Aux 2) – Tape Recorder [DIN Output] – R / L output – Gain (Low/High) – Tape 1 (In/Out) – Tape 2 (In/Out) – Out Scope – Speaker Switching Inputs – Speaker system 1 – Speaker system 2 – Center channel (Volume – Output) – Fusing   

“SPKR SWITCHING INPUTS, SPKR SYSTEM 1 and SYSTEM 2 terminals on the right side of the rear panel allow for connecting a power amplifier and two speaker systems to the Model 3300. When using only one pair of speakers, connect them to SPKR SYSTEM 1 terminals. SPKR SYSTEM 2 terminals are for connecting a second pair of speakers in a remote location.” [from the Owner’s manual]

Panello posteriore (sezioni da sinistra a destra), Terra dello chassis  – Ingressi (Mic/Phono 2/Phono1/ Tuner/ Aux 1/ Aux 2) – Tape Recorder [presa DIN] – uscite R / L  – Guadagno (Low/High) – Tape 1 (In/Out) – Tape 2 (In/Out) – Out Scope – Ingressi Speaker dal finale  – Speaker system 1 – Speaker system 2 – Canale centrale (Volume – Output) – Fusibile.   

“I terminali SPKR SWITCHING INPUTS, SPKR SYSTEM 1 and SYSTEM 2 situati sulla destra del panello posteriore consentono la connessione del Model 3300 ad un amplificatore finale e a due sistemi di diffusori. Quando si utilizza un solo paio di speaker, connettere gli stessi ai terminali di SPKR SYSTEM 1.  I terminali SPKR SYSTEM 2 si utilizzano per connettere un secondo paio di speaker in  remoto.” [dal manuale di utilizzo]
