Experience a versatile home theater setup with the new Marantz AV7706 processor/ pre-amplifier. Featuring 11.2 channel XLR and RCA pre-outs, the AV7706 is built for use with high-quality external power amplification or active speakers. Enjoy the audiophile sound you expect from Marantz. With 11.2 channel pre-outs on both conventional RCA sockets and balanced XLRs, the AV7706 is designed to work alongside high-quality external power amplifiers like the Marantz MM8077, MM7055 and MM7025. Not only is it a superb AV processor, the AV7706 is an extraordinary analog preamplifier with an HDAM circuit board. Using Marantz-proprietary HDAMs, the preamp section of the AV7706 provides optimal channel separation, minimum crosstalk and enhanced signal to noise ratio for precise detail resolution and stereo imaging, while the ELNA capacitators of the analog section ensure exceptional power and dynamic ability. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) supports the transmission of 3D audio from your TV with a single HDMI connection for the simplest setup.
