The Marantz CINEMA Series is a new lineup of premium, yet easy-to-install, home theater products consisting of a flagship immersive preamp/processor with matching 16-channel amplifier and four AV receivers.
“The CINEMA Series is the convergence of three unmistakable characteristics of Marantz heritage – exceptionally high performance, meticulous build quality, and elegant timeless design,” said Joel Sietsema, Marantz and Classé president. “The most discerning cinephiles and audiophiles will appreciate the CINEMA Series’ immersive sound experience, expertly crafted for the dedicated home theater. Those who desire both form and function will equally appreciate the display-worthy artisan craftsmanship that elevates any luxury living space.”
All CINEMA Series AVRs features the immersive audio formats Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, plus 8K video available on multiple inputs, room optimization available on multiple inputs, and additional features designed to enhance the at-home entertainment experience.
The CINEMA Series AVRs’ HEOS built-in technology supports a multi-room set-up, so users can still enjoy their favorite music, podcasts or sports from popular streaming providers or personal music libraries — connected via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay 2.
As a bonus for installers and end users, the all-new high-definition graphical user interface and voice compatibility makes setup and operation more intuitive. Installers also get access to a variety of new features including CI mode which protects certain settings and reduces the likelihood of service calls due to user error.
