Marantz CINEMA 50 - 9.4ch AV Receiver

Newly redesigned for 2022-23, Marantz has created a receiver that's as pleasing to look at as it is to listen to. A modern expression of timeless design principles, CINEMA 50 features the iconic Marantz porthole, symmetrical design, and front panel controls elegantly hidden from view

Marantz has long been one of our most popular A/V brands, and with good reason.  The CINEMA 50 is packed with the latest immersive audio formats, 8K video, room optimization, streaming, and more technology to simplify and elevate your enjoyment

A fully immersive cinematic experience

The Cinema 50 has outputs for 11 speakers, and can power up to nine at the same time. Use all nine channels in a 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X® system. Or, go with a more conventional surround sound setup, and assign the extra amplifier channels for sound in another room.

Marantz has included four subwoofer outputs on its premium receivers this year. 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.

The Cinema 50's high-powered amplifier can drive just about any speakers with real authority. It's rated at a significant 110 watts per channel (2-channels driven). If you have unused surround speaker connections, you can even bi-amp your front right and left speakers to further enhance the performance.

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.

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.

Advanced video processing with latest HDMI specs

Marantz made sure the CINEMA 50 is compatible with the very latest video technology. All six HDMI inputs and two of three HDMI outputs support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video content (perfect for the latest generation games consoles) with plenty of spare inputs for other sources like Sky/Cable TV, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, Apple TV etc

Music in one room or many

CINEMA 50 makes it easy to stream music from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Apple AirPlay 2. With a built-in phono stage you can also plug in a turntable. 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 Cinema 50. Listen to internet radio stations, or to popular subscription services like TIDAL and Spotify.

You can also integrate the Cinema 50 into a wireless multi-room audio system with other HEOS compatible speakers or streaming components.
