Marantz has given us our first proper face of its Cinema 30 AVR , and like theCinema 50 , it ’s a gorgeous - appear AV receiver .
Marantz says the Cinema 30 is built around a proportionate , monolithic amplifier , which is say is the “ most advanced amplifier layout available in the AVR family . ” The amplifier duct is mount on a separate PCB that ’s just opposite the power supplies , “ delivering remarkably blank and instantaneous low-down - aberration power . ”
There are 11 TV channel of onboard amplification secure enough output signal to support a wide range of verbalizer configurations for immersive audio . The Cinema 30 also features 13.4 - channel onboard processing , with a selectable pre - amp mode that allows for an external power gain to be tot .
All digital and parallel signals goes through the Marantz HDAM SA-2 pre - amplifier , to give audio the 2characteristic warmth and musicalness ” require from any Marantz audio product .
Combining SHARC dual DSP chipset and 32 - bit ESS Sabre DAC with dedicated jitter reducing , the Cinema 30 can decode and process audio from high resolution stereo to immersive including , which includes support for Dolby Atmos , IMAX Enhanced , DTS :X Pro , and Auro 3D.
To optimize the audio for the room the Cinema 30 is in , there ’s Audyssey MultEQ XT32 as well as Dirac alive calibration , although the latter is an optional addition . If you do take to employ the services of Dirac Live , the Dirac Live Bass Control that allows for “ fully optimise blue frequency integrating ” with up to four independent subwoofers .
Connectivity includes sevenHDMI inputsthat support8 K video , as well as multiple parallel ( seven ) and digital inputs , with two digital coaxial and two digital optical include .
There ’s HEOS integration to aid build a multi - room ecosystem throughout the house , as well as wireless cyclosis with the likes ofSpotify Connect , AirPlay 2 , and Bluetooth integrated into the AVR.Alexa , Google , andHomePodvoice assistants are also compatible for those who require to add smarts to the reach of features that the Cinema 30 can offer .
Arriving in silver and black colourways , Marantz Cinema 30 is available now ( 30th January , 2024 ) , and it ’s usable to buy from Marantz ’s site and £ 3900 / $ 4500 / € 4,500 . middling confusingly , Marantz ’s fashion model designation move down in terms of how sophisticated it is , so the Cinema 50 slimline AVR is the more affordable of the two .
