Product Information
Tuned for high precision sound and supremely versatile, the Marantz AV 30 delivers next-level home cinema performance.
Premium home cinema sound
As a separate AV processor, the Marantz AV 30 combines powerful home cinema processing with the flexibility for you to choose the power amplification or, ideally, pair with one or two Marantz AMP 30s. With the final sound quality spec meticulously tuned by Marantz’s Sound master, you can be assured of ultimate resolution and musicality. Using their unique HDAM-SA2 (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), the sound quality is lifelike and dynamic with a rich and spacious tone that’s unique to the brand.
Enveloping, 11.4-channel sound for full flexibility
Giving you totally enveloping sound, this Marantz lets you configure four ceiling or Atmos-enabled speakers as well as full 7-channel surround sound. Alternatively, use two Atmos speakers and enjoy a broad soundstage with 'front wide speakers' forming a 9.4.2 system. If you don't fancy a Dolby Atmos specific system but want the most immersive sound possible, go for an 11.2 configuration. This offers 7.4 sound with the addition of front width and front height speakers.
Massive choice of 3D sound formats
Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the AV 30 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, DTS:X Pro, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D. This vast range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to full-blown 11.4 or 7.4.4 systems that truly bring the cinema home.
Quad subs for balanced bass
For the best-balanced bass, the AV 30 has four passive subwoofer outputs. This lets you place a subwoofer in each corner of the room, giving a smooth, even bass response. With four bass channels, you can also use smaller subwoofers. This gives you a tighter, punchier bass whilst not missing out on bass weight and depth.
Acoustic room correction by DIRAC Live* or Audyssey
Thanks to state-of-the-art digital room correction from DIRAC, the AV 30 offers pro-level room optimisation. DIRAC live uses a USB microphone (not included) and dedicated PC software to take multiple readings around your room and feed the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended).
*DIRAC Live Requires additional payment.
MultEQ XT32 for simple room set-up
In addition to DIRAC, the AV 30 also features set-up optimisation from Audyssey's high-end MultEQ XT32 system. The XT32 version of this automatic measuring and set-up device features include Audyssey Dynamic Volume, Dynamic EQ, LFC and SubEQ HT for total control. If you want to take this even further, purchase the MultEQ Editor App (at additional cost) and you've access to advanced user settings.
Comprehensive connectivity, including 8K compatible HDMI interface
For the very best in sound and the lowest distortion, the AV 30 features balanced XLR outputs, giving pro-quality connectivity. RCA phono sockets are also on hand for power amps that don’t accept XLRs. For versatile connectivity, you get no fewer than seven HDMI inputs – all of which are 8K and 4K/120Hz ready, for a fully Ultra High Definition future. Two of the three outputs are 8K compatible, too.
A gaming advantage
The enhanced HDMI interface makes this Marantz AV processor ideal for pairing with the latest games consoles. There’s support for 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), giving you the best resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.
Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Internet Radio, Spotify Connect and much more
With both Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 connectivity, it's easy to connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible lap/desktops and stream music wirelessly. Simply connect to your home network via Ethernet or wi-fi and access thousands of Internet radio sites via TuneIn as well as subscription services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music and more (premium accounts may be required).
HEOS built-in - for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the AV 30 is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
Enjoy a serious home cinema upgrade, with the Marantz AV 30.
