NEW Marantz AV 30 and Amp 30: Reference Home Theater Seperates

Marantz just introduced two major additions to its reference home theater lineup: the Marantz AV 30 AV preamplifier and the Marantz AMP 30 6-channel power amplifier. Designed to work together as true home theater separates, this new Marantz combo targets enthusiasts who want high-end surround sound, flexible system building, and the kind of refined performance audiophiles expect from the Marantz name.

Whether you’re building a dedicated theater or upgrading from an AV receiver, the AV 30 and AMP 30 deliver the core advantages of separates: cleaner signal paths, more power on tap, and easier scalability as your system grows.

Marantz AV 30: 11.4-Channel Balanced AV Preamplifier Built for Modern Home Theater

At the heart of the system is the Marantz AV 30, a reference 11.4-channel balanced AV preamplifier engineered for large media rooms and dedicated home theater systems. It’s built around Marantz’s discrete circuitry approach and provides extensive connectivity and processing for today’s immersive audio formats.

HDMI 2.1-ready connectivity with 8K support

For anyone planning a modern 8K home theater, the AV 30 includes seven HDMI inputs, and each HDMI input is 8K Ultra HD compatible—ideal for next-gen consoles, high-end streaming devices, and UHD disc players.

Immersive surround formats for serious speaker layouts

The AV 30 supports the latest premium surround formats, including:

• Dolby Atmos

• DTS:X Pro

• AURO-3D

This makes it a strong foundation for advanced immersive layouts and audiophile-focused theaters where speaker placement and channel count matter.

Room correction and optional Dirac upgrades

For real-room performance, the AV 30 includes Audyssey MultEQ XT32, plus optional Dirac upgrades including Dirac Live Room Correction, Dirac Bass Control, and Dirac Active Room Treatment. If you’re optimizing bass integration and soundstage precision, this optional path is a standout feature for the high-end AV preamp category.

HEOS streaming built in

The AV 30 is also Powered by HEOS, bringing high-resolution music streaming and convenient multi-room playback into a reference-grade processor. Marantz - AV 30 Toolkit

Marantz AMP 30: 6-Channel Power Amplifier with Serious Output and Flexibility

Pairing a reference processor with a dedicated amplifier is where separates shine—and Marantz built the AMP 30 to be that perfect match. The AMP 30 is a slimline 6-channel power amplifier designed to deliver high current and clean output for demanding theaters. Marantz - AMP 30 Toolkit

Power: 200 watts per channel (8 ohms) / 400 watts per channel (4 ohms)

The headline spec is exactly what home theater enthusiasts want to see:

• 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms

• 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms Marantz - AMP 30 Toolkit

That kind of power makes the AMP 30 a strong choice for driving high-performance speakers in larger rooms—especially when you want clean dynamics at reference playback levels.

Amplification tech: Class D + Marantz HDAM

Marantz combines high-efficiency, low-distortion Class D amplification with its signature HDAM approach, aiming for that blend of control, detail, and musicality that audiophiles associate with the brand.

Connectivity: balanced XLR and RCA inputs

For flexible integration with a premium processor, the AMP 30 includes balanced XLR and RCA line-level inputs—ideal for clean signal transfer and noise rejection in complex installations. 

System flexibility: bi-amp and bridged modes

The AMP 30 is also designed for custom system building. Each channel can operate independently, and channel pairs can be configured for bi-amping. It also supports bridged (BTL) mode, delivering up to 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms when configured that way—useful when you want higher output to specific speakers in your layout. 

Why Marantz AV 30 + AMP 30 Is a Big Deal for Home Theater Separates

A dedicated AV preamp/processor plus a dedicated multi-channel power amp is the classic recipe for top-tier performance—and this pairing is clearly meant to scale.
