Marantz Cinema 30
11.4-channel home theater receiver with Dolby Atmos®, Bluetooth®, Apple AirPlay® 2, and Amazon Alexa compatibility
Quality music and cinema performance
Marantz just introduced their flagship receiver, the Cinema 30. This good-looking receiver has plenty of juice — 140 watts with two channels driven — to bring your movies and music to life. With state-of-the-art 8K video compatibility, 11 discrete amplifier channels, and four subwoofer outputs,it lets you enjoy an engrossing cinematic experience without having to drive to the local cinema.
Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules deliver Marantz's warm, detailed signature sound. Rounding out the high-tech goodness, a high-end digital-to-analog converter decodes high-resolution music files with razor-sharp accuracy. The copper chassis is a nice audiophile detail that Marantz reserves for their best home theater receivers.
All about that bass
More bass? Yes please! For the discerning bass aficionado, Marantz has included four subwoofer outputs on its premium receivers. Your most bass-heavy music and rumbling movie soundtracks will have exciting new depth. Using multiple powered subs obviously gives you more bass, but also more balanced bass. Choose the "Standard" subwoofer setting for evenly distributed bass performance throughout the room, or "Directional" to tailor each sub's bass performance to the closest speaker.
Advanced room calibration
Marantz included Audyssey MultEQ® XT32, one of the industry's best room-correction platforms, to calibrate the receiver's audio performance. You also have the option to purchase and download the Dirac Live® advanced speaker calibration program to your Mac® or PC. Fine-tune the output of your system to match the unique sonic characteristics of your space and bring your surround sound to exciting new heights.
Music in one room or many
This receiver also lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Apple AirPlay 2. Use the built-in phono input to hook up your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive or networked computer.
HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all kinds of different content through the Cinema 30. Listen to internet radio stations, or to popular subscription services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL.
