Overview

Marantz AV 10 & AMP 10 Reference Home Theater System Bundle

The Marantz AV 10 & AMP 10 Home Theater System combines Marantz's reference AV processor with its flagship 16-channel power amplifier to create an extraordinarily powerful foundation for a serious private cinema or high-performance media room.

With 15.4-channel processing, 16 channels of amplification, 200 watts per channel, Dolby Atmos, DTS Pro, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, 8K video, HEOS Built-in, Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and Dirac Live upgrade capability, the AV 10 and AMP 10 provide the processing power, flexibility, and amplification required for today's most ambitious home theaters.

Both components are crafted in Shirakawa, Japan and engineered as true reference-level separates.

Marantz AV 10 Reference AV Processor

The AV 10 is the control center of the system.

With 15.4 channels of processing, it can manage sophisticated immersive-audio configurations while providing four independent subwoofer outputs for advanced low-frequency integration.

Support includes:

  • Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos Music
  • DTS and DTS Pro
  • Auro-3D
  • IMAX Enhanced
  • 360 Reality Audio
  • MPEG-H
  • Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization

The AV 10 provides both RCA and balanced XLR multichannel preamp outputs, making it an ideal partner for the fully balanced inputs of the AMP 10.

Audyssey & Dirac Live Room Correction

Proper calibration is one of the most important parts of a high-performance theater.

The AV 10 includes Audyssey MultEQ XT32 with Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, and Audyssey LFC.

For more advanced calibration, the AV 10 is also upgradeable to Dirac Live, giving experienced system designers and calibrators additional tools for optimizing speaker and subwoofer performance within the room.

8K & 4K/120 HDMI

The AV 10 is designed around modern high-bandwidth video systems with seven HDMI inputs supporting up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through.

It also supports:

  • HDR10+
  • Dolby Vision
  • Dynamic HDR
  • HLG
  • eARC
  • Variable Refresh Rate
  • Quick Frame Transport
  • Auto Low Latency Mode
  • 8K upscaling
  • HDCP 2.3

That makes the system equally suited for a dedicated cinema, premium media room, or high-performance gaming system.

HEOS Built-In

HEOS Built-in adds network streaming and multi-room audio directly to the AV 10.

High-resolution playback includes FLAC, WAV, ALAC, and DSD, along with support for popular streaming platforms and AirPlay 2.

This allows the AV 10 and AMP 10 system to perform double duty as both a reference home theater and a serious music system.

Marantz AMP 10 – 16 Channels of Power

The AMP 10 provides the muscle behind the system.

With 16 independent power-amplifier channels, the AMP 10 delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and up to 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms under Marantz's specified two-channel test conditions.

More importantly, its enormous channel count allows a single chassis to power sophisticated immersive theater configurations that would traditionally require multiple separate amplifiers.

Flexible Bi-Amp & BTL Configuration

The AMP 10 offers considerably more flexibility than a conventional multichannel amplifier.

Individual amplifier channels can be configured for bi-amp or BTL operation, allowing the system designer to allocate additional amplifier resources to critical loudspeakers when required.

In BTL configuration, the AMP 10 can deliver 400 watts into 8 ohms, providing additional power for demanding front-channel speakers.

This flexibility makes the AMP 10 equally appropriate for a streamlined 16-channel theater or a more specialized system using different amplification strategies throughout the room.

Balanced & Unbalanced Connectivity

All 16 amplifier channels support both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections, selectable for each channel.

When paired with the AV 10's extensive balanced XLR outputs, the two components can form a fully balanced signal path between processor and amplification.

Marantz's proprietary HDAM technology and carefully engineered analog circuitry further reinforce the system's reference-level design.

Built for a Reference Theater

Both components feature substantial construction designed to minimize vibration and electrical interference.

The AV 10 incorporates a copper-plated chassis, toroidal power transformer, Marantz HDAM circuitry, current-feedback topology, and gold-plated RCA terminals.

The AMP 10 also uses a copper-plated chassis, substantial internal power architecture, 16 high-quality speaker terminals, and a front-panel level meter.

Together, they provide a serious separates-based alternative to an all-in-one AV receiver.
