Designed for the ultimate in home cinema, the Marantz AV10 is a movie lover's dream processor.
15.4 channel processing brings the cinema home With no fewer than 15.4 output channels, the Marantz AV10 has the processing power for the most sophisticated home cinema systems. Add a suitable power amp (or amps) and you’ll be able to decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals, right up to Dolby Atmos 9.4.6 – enough for the largest home cinemas. For best results, pair with the matching Marantz AMP10.
Reference quality sound For the most scintillating sound, the Marantz AV10 uses the finest quality electronics, circuit design and tuning. With the final sound quality spec meticulously tuned by Marantz’s Sound Master, you can be assured of ultimate resolution and musicality. At its heart, a toroidal power transformer delivers smooth, consistent power with high efficiency and low mechanical noise. Using their unique HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), the sound quality is lifelike and dynamic with a rich and spacious tone that’s unique to the brand.
Copper-bottomed perfection For the highest standards of noise resistance and isolation, the AV10 uses a copper-plated chassis. Found only in the top-level Marantz ranges, this expensive detail proves their dedication to sonic perfection.
Massive choice of 3D sound formats Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the AV10 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, Dolby Atmos Music, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, DTS:X Pro, DTS Neo:X, DTS Neural:X, 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 15.4 systems that truly bring the cinema home.
Quad subs for balanced bass For the best-balanced bass, the AV10 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 AV10 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 AV10 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.
Range-topping connectivity, including 8K compatible HDMI interface For the very best in sound and the lowest distortion, the AV10 features balanced XLR outputs, giving pro-quality connectivity. Gold-plated RCAs are also on hand for power amps that don’t accept XLRs. As Marantz’s range-topping AV processor, 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. Additional connectivity includes gold-plated RCA sockets, plus wide range of installation friendly sockets, such as DC power outputs – making it a truly versatile system hub.
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 AV10 is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors.
