Its upgraded 32-bit, 8-channel digital-to-analog converter helps deliver accurate signal reproduction, clarity and detailed dynamic performance.

Immersive audio with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Additional formats include Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos Music, Dolby Surround, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS Neural:X and DTS Virtual:X, providing flexibility for different content and speaker configurations.

The seven discrete power amplifier stages deliver 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with two channels driven and 0.08% total harmonic distortion under the specified measurement conditions. This architecture makes the receiver suitable for multichannel systems in small to medium-sized living rooms, while its compact design makes it easy to integrate into modern furniture.

8K video, HDMI and next-generation connectivity

The Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 features 6 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output with eARC, allowing you to connect televisions, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, set-top boxes and streaming devices.

Supported technologies and services include AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer and TuneIn internet radio, along with Roon Ready compatibility.

Automatic Audyssey MultEQ calibration helps adapt the system's response to room acoustics and speaker placement. Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume help maintain a balanced listening experience at lower volume levels. The receiver also supports an optional Dirac Live upgrade for users interested in additional room correction capabilities.

The 7.2-channel pre-amplifier outputs allow external power amplifiers to be connected, making future system upgrades possible. Two dedicated subwoofer outputs provide greater flexibility when configuring low-frequency reproduction. Other connections include an MM phono input for compatible turntables, analogue and digital inputs, and a front-panel USB port for supported media playback.
