Specifications and features

Overview

At the top of its game, Marantz unveils the new SR8012, the very first 11.2 channel Marantz AV receiver set to establish new standards. Immerse yourself in captivating surround sound with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D, the three codecs capable of driving height speakers for a 3D audio experience. The 11 stages of high-quality amplification in this receiver enhance audio quality thanks to carefully selected superior audio components, including Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules, or HDAMs, used in the current feedback topology.

The latter transmit the signal to the power stages, each delivering 205 W of pure Marantz power and finesse to drive a complete 7.1.4 channel home theater setup without any additional external amplifier. The SR8012 utilizes an advanced Marantz sound system, drawing on features from the brand’s reference two-channel models including a copper chassis and an oversized shielded toroidal transducer built to Marantz specifications, as well as high-current main power supply capacitors, also conforming to the rigorous standards of Marantz engineers.

With built-in HEOS technology, the SR8012 is part of any HEOS wireless multi-room music ecosystem, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music throughout the house: explore, browse and listen to your music library, online streaming music services or thousands of available web radios, via the free HEOS app.

What the press says

The latest addition to Marantz's catalog of audio/video amplifiers has one key difference from the Titanic: it's in no danger of running out of channels. The SR8012 positions itself at the very top of the manufacturer's integrated AV amplifier range, being the first to offer no less than 11 amplified channels in a single box.

Très belle finition.

Completely satisfied, it is as effective in HC as in Hi-Fi. With the addition of two extra effects, in 7.1 I preferred to relieve it with an Emotiva XPA-2 GEN3 power amp for my speakers. I am equipped with two Focal Aria 948s, one Focal Aria CC 900, four Focal Aria SR 900s, and a SUB 1000F.

More precise than the 7009. More dynamic. I recommend this product. It remains expensive.
