Marantz Cinema 50 Series 2 9.4-Channel AV Receiver

Powerful, Adaptable Cinema Sound for Dedicated Theatres and Versatile Living Spaces

The Marantz Cinema 50 Series 2 is a 9.4-channel AV receiver that brings powerful and adaptable cinema sound to dedicated home theatres and versatile living spaces alike. Nine discrete power amplifiers deliver 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while 11.4-channel processing gives the system room to grow with external amplification. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced create an expansive and immersive surround presentation, supported by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 and optional Dirac Live room correction. Six 8K HDMI inputs, HEOS multi-room streaming, AirPlay 2, and a refined Marantz interface make movies, gaming, and high-resolution music easier to enjoy from one elegant and thoroughly capable component.

Nine Discrete Power Amplifiers with 11.4-Channel Processing

Nine discrete amplifier channels give the Cinema 50 Series 2 the drive needed for demanding soundtracks, concert material, and multichannel music. Rated at 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms with two channels driven, the design uses current feedback topology and Marantz HDAM-SA2 modules to maintain detail and control across the full dynamic range of any content. Multichannel pre-amplifier outputs supporting up to 11.4 channels allow the system to expand with compatible external power amplification, and Pure Direct mode provides a simplified signal path for focused music listening. Gold-plated RCA terminals throughout reflect the quality of construction within.

Immersive Audio and Advanced Room Correction

The Cinema 50 Series 2 supports the full range of immersive audio formats including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, 360 Reality Audio, and MPEG-H, allowing the system to adapt to a wide range of content and speaker arrangements. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 provides automatic speaker setup and room calibration using the supplied microphone, with Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, and LFC for practical everyday listening control. Dirac Live room correction is available as an optional upgrade for more advanced optimisation. Four independent subwoofer outputs, standard and directional subwoofer modes, variable crossover adjustment, bass redirection, and Bass Sync provide comprehensive tools for building smooth and even low-frequency performance throughout the listening space.

Complete 8K HDMI Platform and Gaming Support

All six rear HDMI inputs support 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz pass-through at up to 40Gbps, making the Cinema 50 Series 2 fully ready for high-resolution displays and modern gaming sources. HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dynamic HDR preserve compatible picture formats, and eARC returns supported television audio through the main HDMI output. Gaming support includes ALLM, VRR, QFT, and AMD FreeSync compatibility, while HDMI standby pass-through and video scaling from 1080p and 4K to 8K add further installation convenience.

HEOS Streaming and Comprehensive Connectivity

HEOS multi-room integration provides app-controlled access to network audio, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, TuneIn, Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz, and other supported music services throughout the home. Bluetooth with headphone re-transmission and Roon Ready support complete a streaming feature set of exceptional breadth. High-resolution network and USB audio playback supports FLAC, WAV, and ALAC at up to 192kHz/24-bit, and DSD at 2.8 and 5.6MHz. A Moving Magnet phono input, front USB audio port, FM and AM tuner, Zone 2 speaker and pre-out operation with HDMI Zone 2, RS232, IP control, and a 12V trigger output complete the specification of a receiver built for both everyday convenience and professional integration.
