Defined by its pristine sound, immaculate detailing, and superior quality cartridge, TT-15S1 reproduces immaculate high-fidelity.

  • Exquisite Design
  • Manual Operation
  • Belt Drive System
  • Isolated motor
  • Low-Resonance
  • Clearaudio Virtuoso MM Cartridge
  • 5 Year Warranty (30 Day Cartridge & Needle)

The TT15S1 Reference Belt Drive Turntable with Cartridge is a high-quality, precision instrument for the serious audiophile. With its superior belt drive mechanism and included cartridge, this turntable delivers exceptional sound quality and accuracy. 

The TT-1551 is more than just incredible to look at; it has been expertly engineered to provide the perfect platform for your records to sound their best. This includes a low-resonance high-density acrylic chassis and platter.

The Marantz Sound Master meticulously tuned TT-15S1 for amazing performance with careful parts selection to create the Most Musical Sound in your home.

To avoid any performance-limiting chassis vibration, the TT-1551’s precision motor system has been designed to ‘float’ rather than sit on the acrylic chassis.

TT-1551 belt drive system features an endless silicon belt for the smoothest possible rotation of the platter, ensuring precision timing and sensational listening.

Experience your favourite records like never before with the TT15S1.

Power & Performance

  • Motor: Low-noise AC Servo Motor; decoupled from the chassis to prevent vibration transfer.
  • Drive System: Belt drive using a seamless silicon "endless" belt for consistent speed stability.
  • Speed: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM (manual speed change).
  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80dB
  • Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz
  • Performance: A Reference Series masterpiece designed to extract every nuance from your vinyl collection. By combining a massive, resonance-free chassis with a high-precision motor and tonearm, it provides a black background and a wide, stable soundstage typical of much more expensive decks.

Audio Features

  • Chassis Material: High-density Solid PMMA (Acrylic); chosen for its exceptional vibration-damping properties and acoustic neutrality.
  • Platter: 28mm thick, heavy-weight Frosted Acrylic platter that acts as a natural flywheel for superior speed consistency.
  • Tonearm: High-grade Anodized Aluminum straight tonearm; optimized for the included cartridge and featuring a magnetic anti-skating system.
  • Bearing System: Features a hardened steel shaft and a polished ceramic ball in a sintered bronze bushing for near-frictionless rotation.
  • Included Cartridge: Comes pre-packaged with the Marantz Virtuoso Ebony Wood-Body Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge (a high-output design valued for its warm, organic tone).
  • Clearaudio Collaboration: Built to Marantz specifications by legendary German turntable manufacturer Clearaudio, ensuring world-class precision engineering.
  • Isolation: Massive solid aluminum feet provide a stable foundation and isolate the delicate stylus from external room vibrations.
  • Floating Motor: The motor is housed in a separate, heavy cold-rolled steel cylinder that sits in a cutout of the chassis without touching it, ensuring zero motor-hum reaches the platter.

Connectivity

  • Analog Output: Attached high-quality Interconnect Cables (Oxygen-Free Copper) with gold-plated RCA plugs.
  • Grounding: Includes a dedicated ground wire to eliminate hum.
  • Connectivity: A purely mechanical analog source; must be connected to a dedicated Phono Input (MM) or an external Phono Pre-amp.
  • Simplicity: No internal Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Digital-to-Analog converters, preserving the purest possible analog signal path.

Installation & Dimensions

  • Unit Dimensions (W x D x H): 17.3" x 13.8" x 4.3" (440mm x 350mm x 110mm) — Note: Height does not include the tonearm.
  • Unit Weight: 19.6 lbs (8.9 kg)
  • Setup: Requires assembly (platter, belt, tonearm balance); includes a high-precision felt mat and white gloves to prevent oil transfer to the acrylic during setup.
  • Felt Mat: Includes a high-quality black felt mat to protect the vinyl surface.
  • Accessories Included: Virtuoso Ebony MM Cartridge, "Clever Clamp" (record weight), silicon belt, bearing oil, and adjustment tools.

Design & Build

  • Modern Aesthetic: A striking, minimalist "frosted" look with white acrylic and silver accents that serves as a visual centerpiece in any Hi-Fi system.
  • Clever Clamp: Includes a specialized friction-fit record clamp that flattens warped records and improves contact between the vinyl and the platter.
  • Internal Integrity: Every part, from the magnetic anti-skating mechanism to the ceramic bearing, is chosen for its ability to reduce mechanical noise.
  • Aesthetics: Features a unique blue LED power indicator (on the motor base) that complements the signature Marantz blue lighting found on their amplifiers.
  • Build Quality: Exceptional fit and finish, reflecting the German-made precision and Marantz’s heritage of audio excellence.
