Marantz is a company that develops and sells high-end audio products.

During the 1980s, while owned by Philips,[4][5] a pioneer in compact disc technology, Marantz sold some very well received CD players, but other products in the line were not as successful as in the past.

In 2001, Marantz Japan acquired the brand from Philips and owned all overseas sales subsidiaries.

In 2002 Marantz merged with competitor Denon into D&M Holdings Inc., later named D+M Group.

On March 1, 2017, Sound United LLC completed the acquisition of D+M Holdings.
