About the Marantz AV 10

An ultra-cinematic experience

For top-of-the-line performance and home theater flexibility, choose the Marantz AV 10 preamp/processor. Its state-of-the art processing and high-end audio circuitry let you build your dream surround sound system, with as many as 15 speakers placed around your room and up to four subwoofers.

The major difference between this unit and a traditional home theater receiver is that there's no internal amplification inside. This removes the heat and noise generated during amplification, a fact which helps it improve the quality of what you see and hear.

The Marantz is the custom-designed companion amplifier for the AV 10. But, you can connect this pre/pro to your choice of , using either balanced () or unbalanced () cables. I recommend using XLR connections if your amplifier supports them since they cancel out potential noise and help feed your amp the cleanest, strongest signal possible.

Advanced audio and video processing

Marantz packed a lot of tech into the copper chassis of the AV 10. Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 multi-channel processing dials in your home theater speakers. A clock jitter reducer delivers pure sound from your digital music files and streaming services with depth and detail. The high-end digital-to-analog converter decodes high-resolution music files with razor-sharp accuracy. Enjoy your music as it was meant to be, as close to "original" as you can get.

Marantz made sure the AV 10 is compatible with the latest video processing technology. All seven HDMI inputs and two of three outputs support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video content (think Sony's PlayStation® 5, or the Xbox Series X). Or, use a high-quality source like a , or an .

Immersive, lifelike sound

The AV 10 excels at processing "object-based" surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ , which place sound effects in space around you with pinpoint accuracy.

With support for up to 15 speakers, you'll hear the movie's score and special effects above, behind, in front of, and beside you???just like you would in an actual theater.

More bass for pulse-pounding home theater

For the most absorbing surround sound, Marantz has included four subwoofer outputs. Your most bass-heavy music and rumbling movie soundtracks will have exciting new depth. Using multiple powered subs obviously gives you more bass, but also more balanced bass. Choose the "Standard" subwoofer setting for evenly distributed bass performance throughout the room, or "Directional" to tailor each sub's bass performance to the closest speaker.

Music in one room or many

This pre/pro also lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Apple AirPlay 2. Use the optical or coaxial digital inputs to connect a CD player or break out your vinyl collection and connect your turntable to the dedicated phono input. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive or networked computer.

HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all kinds of different content through the AV 10. Listen to internet radio stations, or to popular subscription services like Pandora® , Spotify® , and TIDAL.

You can also integrate the AV 10 into a wireless multi-room audio system with . Check out this of a few HEOS-enabled speakers to learn more about how this platform works.

Advanced room calibration

Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 is one of the industry's best room-correction platforms. It measures the acoustics of your room with the included microphone, and then fine-tunes the output of your system to best match the unique sonic characteristics of your space.

To fully dial in your system, download the optional Audyssey MultEQ Editor app. It lets you direct the speaker calibration process from your phone or tablet, instead of with the handheld remote control. The app also unlocks additional Audyssey features like EQ curve adjustment, Midrange Compensation control, and the ability to save multiple calibration profiles.

Coming in 2023, you'll also have the option to purchase and download the Dirac Live® advanced speaker calibration program to your Mac® or PC, another state-of-the-art room correction system that can make your system sound its best.
