The Marantz AV 30 is engineered for enthusiasts who prefer the performance advantages of separates over conventional AV receivers. By eliminating onboard amplification, the AV 30 dedicates its engineering entirely to signal processing and analog output quality, resulting in lower noise, greater dynamic range, and exceptional sonic transparency. Marantz's proprietary HDAM® circuitry and Current Feedback topology preserve musical detail while delivering the immersive impact required for today's most advanced surround sound formats.

Supporting up to 11.4 channels of processing, the AV 30 is fully compatible with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D, and other immersive audio technologies. Four independently configurable subwoofer outputs, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction, and optional Dirac Live calibration provide precise optimization for virtually any listening environment, allowing users to achieve reference-quality performance with complex speaker layouts.

Video capabilities are equally advanced, with all seven HDMI inputs supporting 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 30 to function as a premium music streaming hub in addition to its home theater capabilities.

Finished to Marantz's highest standards, the AV 30 features a copper-plated chassis, premium internal components, balanced XLR connectivity for every channel, and professional-grade control options for custom installations. Whether paired with Marantz's AMP 20 or AMP 30 power amplifiers—or other high-performance amplification—the AV 30 provides the precision, flexibility, and immersive performance expected from one of the company's flagship home theater processors.
