Marantz Introduces New 8K-Ready AV Receivers
Marantz Introduces New 8K-Ready AV Receivers
The 2020 SR-Series AV Receivers Pair State-of-the-Art Home
Theater Specifications with
Marantz’s Signature Musicality
VISTA, Calif. (July 7, 2020)—Marantz®, the number one Hi-Fi
brand in the world1
, today
announced the latest additions to its SR-Series AV
receivers, the SR5015, SR6015, SR7015,
and SR8015. Designed to deliver impactful and nuanced home
cinema and listening
experiences, the 8K-ready AV receiver line offers the most
musical sound from any source,
including home theater, vinyl and streaming media. Like all
Marantz products, the 2020 SRSeries AVRs are extensively tuned by
world-renowned acousticians at state-of-the-art facilities,
producing Marantz’s unique audiophile-quality sound. This,
paired with the AV industry’s latest
array of technologies, enables more immersion, visual beauty
and detailed power than ever
before.
“The new 2020 SR-Series AV receivers represent the next
major step forward in home theater,
not just for Marantz, but the entire home entertainment
industry,” said Jake Mendel, global
brand manager for Marantz. “Marantz fans will be some of the
first to experience new levels of
incredibly sharp image quality, remarkably fast gaming and
immersive surround sound. But
more importantly, superior Marantz HDAM-SA3 amplification
based on decades of extensive
tuning transports the listener ever closer to their music.”
High-Performance Amplification & Multichannel Home
Theater
Prioritizing rich, powerful audio, the 2020 SR-Series
feature high-current discrete power
amplifiers on all channels to deliver Marantz’s signature
power output. Leveraging the
company’s proprietary Hyper Dynamic Amplification Module
(HDAM) circuitry, the AVRs provide
optimal fidelity and maximum dynamic range of
high-resolution files for stellar sound quality.
With low impedance driver capability, the SR-Series offers
operational stability with a wide
range of speakers providing the clarity and balance users
have come to expect from Marantz.
For advanced multi-channel home theater applications, the
flagship SR8015 supports DTS:X
Pro®, which will allow users to enjoy up to 13 channels of
DTS:X decoding with speaker
configurations such as 7.2.6 or 9.2.4. Listeners can also
enjoy the latest in IMAX Enhanced
films in 7.2.6 or 9.2.4 speaker configurations thanks to
newly adopted 13.2 channel processing
capabilities with external amplification. The DTS:X Pro
feature will be delivered via firmware
update later this year.
In addition to DTS:X Pro, the 2020 SR-Series feature several
other 3D audio formats, including
Dolby Atmos®, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology,
DTS:X®, DTS Virtual:X™,
IMAX® Enhanced and Auro-3D® out-of-box.
2 The latest height virtualization technologies
provide immersive audio without height channels, creating
virtual height effects in a 7.1, 5.1 or
2.1 speaker arrangement.
If listeners want to tap into separate power sources, the
latest Marantz SR Series now support
“Pre-Amplifier” mode on the SR6015, SR7015 and SR8015
models. Pre-Amplifier mode
provides a clear signal path and more tolerance in clipping
levels by disconnecting internal
amplifiers when the receiver is used as an AV processor and
all speakers are powered by
external amplifiers.

Next-Gen HDMI Technologies
The new Marantz SR-Series AV receivers take advantage of the
latest HDMI technologies. Enjoy
movies and shows with stunning picture quality thanks to a
dedicated “8K” HDMI input enabling
8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video pass-through, new HDR format
support including HDR10+ and
Dynamic HDR, and a new HDMI feature called Quick Media
Switching (QMS), which allows a
source to instantly switch frame rate to eliminate screen
blackout. For exceptional color, clarity
and contrast the latest SR Series models still support
HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and
Dolby Vision, as well as 4:4:4 Pure Color subsampling and
BT.2020 pass-through.
Several new features give gamers an edge, including razor
sharp motion clarity with 4K/120Hz
pass through and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) to reduce frame
tearing and improve overall
precision. Get a jump on the competition with Auto Low
Latency Mode (ALLM) and Quick Frame
Transport (QFT), each designed to reduce lag and improve
stats. See the enemy before they see
you with stunning 8K picture quality.
The Marantz SR-Series can also upscale existing HD and 4K
content to 8K3 so more people can
experience the power of 8K resolution. They also continue to
support eARC (Enhanced Audio
Return Channel), which allows lossless and object-based
audio transmission like DTS:X and
Dolby Atmos from TV apps or connected devices using a single
HDMI cable.
HEOS Built-in, Roon Tested & Hi-Res Support
HEOS Built-in allows for unlimited and unrestrained
listening anywhere in the home. The 2020
SR-Series can decode up to 24-bit/192-kHz ALAC, FLAC and WAV
lossless files as well as DSD
2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks, empowering users to experience
high quality content from services
like Spotify, Amazon Music HD, TIDAL, TuneIn Internet Radio
and more. Users can also play
songs stored on smart devices or personal media servers.
Pair HEOS Built-in AVRs, including
the Marantz SR-Series, with other HEOS Built-in products or
speakers for a seamless listening
experience.
Marantz SR-Series AVRs are Roon Tested certified so users
can get more out of their music
libraries through the advanced Roon music interface on their
PCs and smart devices. Marantz
Roon Tested AVRs can be found and setup easily by Roon via
AirPlay 2 or hardwired into a Roon
Core device. Each receiver features a front-panel USB port
that offers convenient audio playback
of MP3 and high-resolution audio formats (WAV, FLAC, ALAC
and DSD 2.8/5.6 MHz files).
Vinyl lovers can easily connect their turntable to the
SR-Series’ phono input and enjoy the raw
purity of LP records. All models feature an advanced phono
stage with HDAM, which
outperforms op-amp solutions, delivering the clarity and
detail discerning listeners expect from
Marantz.
Audyssey Room Calibration
Listeners can optimize their experience with Audyssey MultEQ
XT on the SR5015 and MultEQ
XT32 on the SR6015, SR7015 and SR8015 models, providing
seamless setup for any room.
With the supplied measurement microphone, Audyssey analyzes
each speaker's output
(including subwoofers) at up to eight measurement locations
and generates precision digital
filters to optimize each channel for the correct frequency
and time domain response. Audyssey
Dynamic Volume also smooths out disruptive jumps in volume
(such as TV commercials), letting
listeners enjoy lower output levels while still enjoying
clear dialogue and overall performance.
The Audyssey Dynamic EQ provides full-range clarity at any
listening level.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 is adding Low Frequency Containment
using advanced psychoacoustic
algorithms to deliver more full-range balance, including
deep bass, without disturbing neighbors
or people in other rooms of the home. Audyssey Sub EQ HT
provides individual DSP tailoring of
each subwoofer in a dual subwoofer setup for deeper bass
with improved definition. Plus, the
3 To compatible 8K-ready TVs
optional Audyssey MultEQ Editor app available for purchase
at the app store, users can view
and adjust settings for detailed tuning.
New to Marantz, Dual Speaker Preset Memory enables users to
toggle between two calibrated
speaker configurations, which are stored natively in the AVR
and can be switched on the fly.
This ensures the listener can dictate where the sweet spot
is for a variety of listening situations,
adding ease and flexibility for the overall listening
experience.
Advanced Custom Installation Support
Designed with custom integrators in mind, the new SR-Series
AVRs boast the latest remote
monitoring and management capabilities via Domotz Pro and
OvrC, as well as RS232C and IP
control capabilities. Web User Interface is also supported
providing access to the AV receivers’
setup menu remotely or from a computer on the same network.
These programs empower
integrators to monitor the status of connected products and
troubleshoot remotely from a
separate location or on-the-go.
The 2020 SR-Series continues to feature HDMI Multiple Input
Assign, which allows users to
listen to multiple audio sources while maintaining the same
video content on-screen. All Zone
Stereo Mode—a.k.a. Party Mode— is storable on “Smart
Select,” so both Main Zone and Zone
2 will initiate music playback in sync by simply pressing
the “Smart Select” button on the remote,
app or third-party controllers. The new series also features
HDMI Auto Input Rename, which
automatically renames HDMI inputs to the source devices,
including “PS5” and “Apple TV,”
reducing wasted time naming inputs.
