The Marantz AV 10 represents the pinnacle of Marantz home theater engineering, delivering reference-quality audio and video processing for the most demanding immersive cinema environments. By eliminating onboard power amplification, the AV 10 dedicates its entire design to signal integrity, resulting in lower noise, greater dynamic range, and exceptional transparency across all channels.
Its 15.4-channel processing capability allows configurations such as 9.4.6 Dolby Atmos, 7.4.8 immersive layouts, and other large-scale speaker arrays that exceed the capabilities of conventional AV receivers. Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced ensures compatibility with virtually every modern surround format, while four independently configurable subwoofer outputs enable precise low-frequency optimization throughout the room.
Video performance is equally state-of-the-art. All HDMI inputs support HDMI 2.1 features including 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and eARC. Integrated HEOS® streaming, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Roon Ready support allow the AV 10 to function as a premium high-resolution music streaming hub in addition to its home theater duties.
Designed specifically for reference installations, the AV 10 features balanced XLR connectivity for every channel, a copper-plated chassis, premium internal component isolation, advanced clock management, and comprehensive control interfaces including RS-232, IP control, triggers, and multi-zone operation. When paired with the Marantz AMP 10 or other high-end amplification, it delivers the precision, flexibility, and immersive performance expected from one of the finest AV processors available today.
