Next-Generation Marantz Cinema Performance with an Upgraded 32-Bit DAC

The Marantz CINEMA 50 SERIES 2 AV Receiver combines nine channels of discrete amplification with 11.4-channel processing, advanced room correction and comprehensive 8K connectivity. Rated at 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it can directly power immersive configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 and can expand to an eleven-speaker main-zone system by adding a compatible external two-channel power amplifier.

Developed as the successor to the original CINEMA 50, Series 2 introduces an upgraded high-performance 32-bit DAC for improved clarity, resolution and dynamic range. It also adds expanded support for contemporary entertainment formats and services, including 360 Reality Audio, MPEG-H Audio, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready operation and AMD FreeSync-compatible gaming, while preserving the Sound Master tuning, HDAM-SA2 circuitry and refined industrial design associated with Marantz.
