The Ultimate Home-Theater Hub: Japanese-Crafted Marantz Cinema 30 13.4-Channel Surround Receiver Features Monolithic Amplifier, Advanced Decoding, Comprehensive Connectivity, Smart Accessibility
The most refined surround AV receiver Marantz has made in its distinguished history, the 13.4-channel Cinema 30 is intended to be a foundation for those seeking home-theater performance that pushes the needle in both sound and vision. Crafted in Japan and tuned by the Marantz Sound Master, Cinema 30 drives speakers with ease courtesy of a symmetrical, monolithic amplifier with 11 140Wpc channels that make superb dynamics, detail, and dimensionality an everyday reality. A SHARC dual DSP coupled to 32-bit ESS SABRE DACs with dedicated jitter reduction translates to exceptional across-the-board decoding and processing, be it high-res audio (up to DSD 128) or cutting-edge immersive codecs such as Dolby Atmos, IMAX Enhanced, DTS:X Pro, or Auto 3D.
Got gear? The Roon-tested Cinema 30 touts seven 8k HDMI inputs that accompany an array of digital, analog, and phono inputs — plus analog video, HMDI, and loudspeaker and preamplifier outputs — ensure that connectivity to any configuration will be a breeze. Instant access to streaming services via built-in HEOS, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, Bluetooth, and more guarantee you’ll hear what you want on demand — and in stellar fidelity. On-board Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room optimization that automatically calibrates speaker sizes, distances, level adjustments, and more — via a supplied microphone — means you’ll never doubt if you’re experiencing everything to the fullest potential.
On the exterior, Cinema 30 boasts Marantz’s signature porthole, a high-definition on-screen display, and an elegant, industrial-leaning aesthetic. Its multi-layer copper-plated chassis subscribes to the same luxury build quality of the large El toroidal power transformer inside, while its fascia has selectable side illumination. A fold-down metal front panel hides the functions you don’t use as often for a cleaner look absent from many AVRs. Other audiophile-minded touches include Pure Direct mode, HDAM modules, current feedback technology, gold-plated RCA terminals, and the ability to set up Cinema 30 for up to three multi-room zones.
Complete with a setup assistant, Cinema 30 interfaces with Amazon Alexa, Google, and the HomePod Voice Assistant for smart control. Those who prefer handheld operation can use the supplied remote. Backed by a five-year manufacturer warranty, the Japanese-made Cinema 30 is a true reference component.
