Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 – Slim 7.2-Channel 8K AV Receiver
The Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 is a slim-line 7.2-channel AV receiver that fits immersive home cinema into a low-profile chassis. It pairs the new 32-bit, 8-channel DAC with seven channels of amplification at 50 watts each, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding, Dirac Live Ready calibration and HEOS streaming — all with the warm Marantz sound signature, available at Soundium.

Customer Benefits
The slim CINEMA 70s Series 2 slides into a media rack or tight cabinet where a full-size receiver won't fit, yet still delivers 7.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound. Dirac Live Ready calibration tunes it to your room, and Web Control 2.0 lets you set everything up from a phone or tablet without the TV menu.
