Marantz SR5012
Marantz, a world leader in advanced audio technologies, introduces two new network, feature-packed AV receivers: the SR5012 and SR6012. Equipped with the latest versions of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the SR5012 and SR6012 both offer the convenience of multiroom music playback via HEOS integration, in addition to full 4K Ultra High-Definition compatibility to create an immersive home theater and entertainment experience.
Elevating its AV receiver product portfolio, Marantz is releasing the new SR5012 and SR6012 as the first models under the company’s 2017 ‘full-size’ home theater range. Designed to sit at the heart of the home entertainment system. Both systems offer a wide range of capabilities and features to enable reliable network streaming via the HEOS wireless multiroom system, Bluetooth and Apple Airplay are also included for playback from portable devices.
The SR5012 is not only compatible with a full range of 4K Ultra High Definition video specifications-from 4K 60Hz video to HDR, as well as Dolby Vision compatibility and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG; via future firmware update)-it also can decode both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound, to deliver on home theater thrills.
The receiver has eight HDMI (HDCP 2.2) inputs to enable a complete array of high-definition sources to be connected, including Blu-ray Disc players, streaming devices, set top boxes and games consoles, with 4K video and hi-res audio as well as upscales legacy video sources (e.g. DVD) to 4K.
Packed with the power to perform, all seven channels of the SR5012 are identical in design and built from high-quality discrete components throughout, including the famous Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAMs). It also features low-impedance drive capabilities to manage complex speaker loads. The SR5012 can also handle digital to analog conversion through its eight-channel DAC block, using advanced reference-class 32-bit AKM’s AK4458VN D/A converters on all channels. This ensures consistent high-fidelity and precise channel matching for more accurate sound.
The SR5012 even creates immersive surround fields from older soundtracks using Dolby Surround and Neural:X processing as well as being compatible with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD soundtracks for conventional 5.1- or 7.1-channel surround.
Staying true to the essence of Marantz, the SR5012 takes music to the next level, as users can use wired or Wi-Fi connection to access music through their home network. HEOS integration gives the user the opportunity to create a wireless multiroom music system through the SR5012 by simply adding extra HEOS speakers to any room using the HEOS app, providing a fully connected experience.
