Description

Marantz CINEMA 60DAB Series 2 AV Receiver

The Marantz CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 is a premium 7.2-channel AV receiver designed for immersive home cinema, high-quality music playback and modern gaming.

Delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 combines Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing with upgraded digital conversion, HEOS multi-room streaming, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, DAB+/FM radio and comprehensive system integration.

It is an excellent choice for anyone building a refined 5.1.2 or 7.1-channel home cinema system without stepping up to a larger 9-channel AV amplifier.

7.2-Channel Home Cinema

The CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 features seven channels of discrete amplification, allowing it to power a conventional 7.1 system or a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos configuration with dedicated height speakers.

Power output is rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with two channels driven, giving the receiver enough authority for a wide range of home cinema speaker packages.

Marantz’s Current Feedback topology and HDAM-SA2 modules are used throughout the audio section to help preserve clarity, dynamics and the smooth presentation associated with the brand.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Immersive surround support is comprehensive including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Surround, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation, Dolby Atmos Music, DTS:X, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS Neural:X and DTS Virtual:X

This allows compatible film and streaming content to create a more convincing three-dimensional soundfield around the listening position.

Upgraded 32-Bit DAC

Series II introduces an upgraded 32-bit, 8-channel DAC, designed to improve clarity, resolution and dynamic range across movies, music and games. Combined with carefully selected audio components and Marantz’s analogue circuitry, the upgraded digital section helps the CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 deliver a cleaner and more refined presentation than the previous generation.

Audyssey MultEQ XT

The receiver includes Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction, allowing the speaker system to be calibrated to suit the acoustic characteristics of your room.

Using the supplied measurement microphone, Audyssey analyses speaker distances, levels and frequency response before applying correction to improve tonal balance and surround integration. Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume are also included.

Dirac Live Upgradeable

The CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 is also Dirac Live upgradeable, giving owners the option to add more advanced room correction later. This provides a useful upgrade path for customers who want finer control over speaker and room interaction without replacing the receiver.

HDMI 2.1 with 8K and 4K/120Hz

The receiver includes six HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, with three inputs supporting high-bandwidth 8K video. All modern HDMI features are supported including 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dynamic HDR, Dolby Vision, HLG, VRR, ALLM, Quick Frame Transport, AMD FreeSync, eARC and HDCP 2.3.

This makes the CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 well suited to modern televisions, projectors and current-generation games consoles.

HEOS Built-In

HEOS Built-In turns the receiver into a complete network streaming music system with built-in support for Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, TuneIn Internet Radio, SoundCloud, Apple AirPlay 2 and Roon Ready.

High-resolution network playback supports FLAC, WAV and ALAC up to 24-bit/192kHz, together with DSD up to 5.6MHz. Radio fans are also well catered for with both DAB+ and FM Radio tuners built-in.

Bluetooth Transmission

Bluetooth can be used both for receiving audio from compatible devices and for transmitting audio to Bluetooth headphones. This means you can watch television or listen to music privately through wireless headphones without needing an additional Bluetooth transmitter.

MM Phono Input

A built-in moving magnet phono input allows a compatible turntable to connect directly to the receiver. This gives the CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 useful flexibility for customers who want vinyl playback alongside streaming, television and home cinema sources.

7.2-Channel Pre-Out

A full 7.2-channel preamp output provides additional flexibility for system upgrades. External power amplifiers can be added later if greater output, different amplifier characteristics or system expansion is required.

Multi-Room Audio

The CINEMA 60 DAB Series 2 supports a second audio zone, allowing music from compatible sources to be played in another room. Zone 2 can use either dedicated speaker outputs or the analogue pre-output, while HEOS provides additional wireless multi-room capability throughout the home.

Timeless Marantz Design

The receiver uses Marantz’s distinctive CINEMA Series styling, with a clean front panel, central porthole OLED display and understated premium finish.

Despite its extensive connectivity, the design remains elegant and uncluttered, making it equally suitable for dedicated cinema rooms and living-room systems.
