Key Features & Innovations
Low-resonance acrylic chassis and platter — the Marantz TT-15S1 Reference Belt-Drive Turntable uses a 30mm-thick high-density acrylic plinth and platter to damp unwanted vibrations and deliver ultra-quiet background performance.
Decoupled asynchronous AC motor — the high-torque AC motor is housed in a separate, isolated metal canister to prevent motor vibrations from transferring into the chassis or tonearm assembly.
Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood MM Cartridge — includes a factory-matched moving magnet cartridge featuring an ebony wood body that reproduces natural acoustic instrument tones and smooth high-frequency extension.
Anodized aluminum tonearm with magnetic anti-skate — rigid straight tonearm features precision bearings, non-contact magnetic anti-skating adjustment, and direct-coupled signal wiring for optimal signal transfer.
Continuous silicon belt drive system — seamless endless silicone belt drives the heavy acrylic platter for pitch-perfect rotational stability across 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records.
FAQ — TT-15S1
Does this turntable include a phono cartridge?
Yes. The Marantz TT-15S1 Reference Belt-Drive Turntable comes complete with a high-end Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge in the box.
Does it have a built-in phono preamplifier?
No. Designed to pure reference audiophile standards, it outputs a direct phono signal and requires an external phono stage or an integrated amplifier/receiver with a dedicated Phono MM input.
Is a dust cover included with the TT-15S1?
The TT-15S1 features an open, minimalist audiophile architecture and does not include a traditional hinged dust cover, though soft covers or third-party acrylic covers can be used when not in playback mode.
How do I change playback speeds between 33-1/3 and 45 RPM?
Speed selection is performed manually by shifting the endless silicone drive belt between the two pulley steps on the motor spindle.
