MARANTZ AV7706

8K Ultra HD Surround Pre-Amplifier with 11.2 Channels and HEOS Built-in

The Marantz AV7706 is an advanced AV pre-amplifier and processor, designed to provide an exceptional home cinema and audio experience with a particular focus on versatility, flexibility, and sound fidelity. It supports a wide range of audio and video formats, ensuring outstanding performance in both surround and music applications, with support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization technology.

At the core of the Marantz AV7706 is its ability to handle high-resolution stereo and multichannel audio signals, thanks to Marantz’s proprietary Current Feedback HDAM amplifiers, which optimize sound quality before sending it to the 11.2 channel XLR or RCA outputs. The audio passes through 32-bit AKM D/A converters to ensure maximum fidelity and minimal distortion. Additionally, the Hybrid PLL Clock jitter reduction technology further improves sound quality, offering more detailed and dynamic sound.

For video, the Marantz AV7706 features an advanced processor for 8K/60Hz passthrough and upscaling, with support for the latest HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. It also supports 4K/120Hz passthrough and gaming technologies such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), providing a smooth, lag-free gaming experience.

The pre-amplifier offers room calibration via Audyssey MultEQ XT32, optimizing the system's acoustic response, including more defined bass thanks to Sub EQ HT technology. Additionally, the dual subwoofer output allows for independent calibration of low frequencies, improving sound dispersion.

The Marantz AV7706 also supports HEOS Built-in connectivity, allowing music streaming from services like Spotify, Amazon Music HD, and Tidal, as well as playback via AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. Voice control is available through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, providing a convenient and intuitive system management.

In terms of connectivity, the AV7706 features 8 HDMI inputs and 3 outputs, including dedicated 8K inputs, with support for 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz passthrough, and HDCP 2.3 protection. The HDMI eARC support enables 3D audio transmission directly from the TV via a single HDMI connection, simplifying installation and improving sound quality.

With its sophisticated design, the AV7706 delivers top-tier audio and video performance while maintaining the quality that has long distinguished Marantz products. Every component has been optimized to ensure excellent performance in both cinematic and musical settings, meeting the expectations of the most discerning users.
