From one of the early pioneers of high-quality CD players comes the Marantz SA12 SE. Marantz was in at the start of CD, launching its first player — the original CD-63 — in 1982. In the following years, Marantz became well known as the CD-Player specialist. Drawing on the development process for the flagship SA-10 and SA-KI Ruby, the SA-12 Special Edition was created to celebrate the love of music and exalt the mastery and emotion of music.
The Marantz engineering team created this player to deliver the kind of sound able to bring you closer than ever to your favourite music. The reason is simple, and central to everything Marantz
does. Because Music Matters.
