Description

The Marantz AV7706 is a premium 11.2-channel AV pre-amplifier/processor designed for audiophile home cinemas and high-fidelity systems. It delivers exceptional sound quality, with support for advanced 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D, and virtual height virtualization. Tailored by Marantz sound masters, it uses ultra-fast current-feedback circuitry and HDAM modules to achieve a refined, musical sonic character.

Video capabilities are top-tier, with 8K/60 Hz pass-through or upscaling, support for HDR formats, Quick Media Switching (QMS), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and more — ideal for both movie buffs and gamers. The AV7706 provides 8 HDMI inputs and 3 outputs, with full HDCP 2.3 support and one 8K input for future-proofing.

Its 11.2-channel pre-outs are available in both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, giving flexibility to pair with external power amplifiers or active speakers. The AV7706 also features Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room calibration, HEOS built-in for multi-room streaming, and voice control compatibility.

Built with precision, it integrates 32-bit AKM DACs on all channels and a hybrid PLL clock jitter reducer to minimize distortion, making it a powerful hub for a high-performance home theater or music system.
