Description
Marantz CINEMA 30 AV Receiver
Reference 11.4-Channel Home Theatre Hub with 140W per Channel, 8K HDMI and HEOS Built-In
Marantz CINEMA 30 is built for people who want a flagship-grade home theatre receiver that feels more like high-end separates than a typical AVR. It’s engineered and crafted in Japan, delivering serious amplification, advanced processing, modern HDMI capability and the flexibility to build anything from an elegant living-room system to a full-scale immersive cinema.
If you love the idea of one chassis doing the heavy lifting without losing refinement, CINEMA 30 is the “no compromises” model in the Marantz CINEMA range.
Built for Big Systems
11.4 Channels of Amplification, Ready to Expand
CINEMA 30 features 11.4 channels of built-in amplification and is designed to support ambitious speaker layouts. For customers building larger systems or planning future upgrades, it also supports 13.4 pre-outs, making it easy to add external power amplification later without replacing the receiver.
This is the ideal foundation for immersive audio layouts where you want height channels, wide channels, multiple subwoofers and the power to keep everything controlled when the movie goes from whisper-quiet to “the building is collapsing.”
Reference-Class Amplification
140 Watts per Channel with Low Distortion
Power matters, but control matters more. CINEMA 30 is rated at 140 W per channel into 8 ohms (20 Hz – 20 kHz at 0.05% THD), with a 6-ohm rating also specified. Speaker load support is listed as 4–16 ohms.
This level of wide-band power is designed to keep dynamics clean and punchy while preserving detail, especially in real-world home theatre systems where multiple speakers and subwoofers are working at once.
HDMI and Video Performance
7 HDMI Inputs, 3 HDMI Outputs, 8K Ready
CINEMA 30 is ready for modern sources with 7 HDMI inputs (all 8K) and 3 HDMI outputs, including eARC support.
This makes it a clean solution for systems that combine a TV or projector with multiple sources like a streaming box, UHD Blu-ray player, game console and media server.
Streaming, Multi-Room and Daily Use
HEOS Built-In, Network Features, Wireless Convenience
HEOS Built-In is integrated for streaming and multi-room audio, with modern network feature support designed for everyday use.
