Marantz has announced the NR1510 and NR1710 slimline 4K Ultra HD AV receivers, both of which feature 4K/60 Hz full-rate pass-through, 4:4:4 colour resolution, HDR10 and BT.2020. Both support Dolby Vision, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), eARC and ALLM for enhanced picture and audio. They can decode high-resolution audio ALAC, FLAC and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192-kHz as well as DCD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks for high resolution listening.

Both models support Alexa, Google Home and Apple Siri; include built-in WiFi and dual subwoofer outputs.

Marantz global brand director Emmanuel Millot says the latest additions to the slim network receiver line demonstrate the company’s ability to blend audio, advanced technology and elegant design.

“We’ve packed plenty of power into both models and included the latest HDMI suite alongside voice control compatibility with industry-leading AI platform. Both of these new models easily meet the needs of most enthusiasts without sacrificing space, and are an ideal option for listeners looking to move away from a sound bar to a product with greater sonic performance and ease-of-use.”

To that effect, we’ve added the latest Dolby and DTS 3D audio technologies and eARC so customers can up-mix traditional stereo and surround soundtracks to a 3D listening experience or virtualise Dolby Atmos or DTS:X mixes for amazing immersive audio without dedicated height channels.”
