The AV7706 delivers Marantz's signature musicality, plus the latest in surround sound and video processing technology.

Create an exceptional home theater experience
My separates-based home theater brings a great deal of joy to my life — watching movies and playing video games in surround sound is a ridiculous amount of fun. If you want a similar experience, the Marantz AV7706 can get you there.

This 11.2-channel preamp/processor offers Marantz's signature musicality, plus the latest surround sound and video processing technology. You'll connect it to your choice of external power amps, using either balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) cables.

We recommend using XLR connections if your amplifier supports them, because they cancel out potential noise and help feed your amp the cleanest, strongest signal possible.

Advanced video processing for movies and more
Marantz made sure the AV7706 is compatible with the latest video technology. One of its eight HDMI inputs supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video content (think S ony's PlayStation® 5, or the Xbox Series X).

The other seven HDMI inputs support 4K at 60 frames per second — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, or an Apple TV.

Immersive, lifelike sound
The AV7706 excels at processing "object-based" surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™, which place sound effects in space around you with pinpoint accuracy.

With support for up to 11 speakers, you'll hear the movie's score and special effects above, behind, in front of, and beside you — just like you would in an actual theater.

Music in one room or many
This pre/pro also lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Apple AirPlay 2. Or, use the built-in phono input to hook up your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive or networked computer.

HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all kinds of different content through the AV7706. Listen to internet radio stations, or to popular subscription services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL.

You can also integrate the AV7706 into a wireless multi-room audio system with compatible speakers or streaming components. Check out my hands-on review of a few HEOS-enabled speakers to learn more about how this platform works.

Advanced room calibration with Audyssey
The AV7706 includes Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 — one of the industry's best room-correction platforms. Audyssey measures the acoustics of your room with the included microphone, and then fine-tunes the output of your system to best match the unique sonic characteristics of your space.

To fully dial-in your system, I recommend you spring for the optional Audyssey MultEQ Editor app (around $20). It lets you direct the speaker calibration process from your phone or tablet, instead of with the handheld remote control.

The app also unlocks additional Audyssey features that I have found well worth the money, like EQ curve adjustment, Midrange Compensation control, and the ability to save multiple calibration profiles.
