Marantz Slimline 8K Receiver? Yes Please!

Marantz has just launched the NR1711 AV Receiver. This is a slimline AVR (Audio/Video Receiver) that stands at about half the height of a normal receiver and packs a ton of features. This receiver gets all the functionality of its bigger siblings in a smaller package.

NR1711 Keeps It Slim

Slimline receivers were always kind of a second class citizen in the audio world. With not enough room to put amplifiers, they were cosmetically appealing but you need to be willing to sacrifice audio quality. Marantz has decided they want the best of both worlds. The NR1711 is capable of 8k/60HZ or gaming at 4K/120HZ which is more than fantastic. The 8K will give this future proof over the next 5 years or so and with 4K gaming on the rise the timing is great.

NR1711 7.2

Lots of Specs in a Little Space

It moves a solid 50W per channel @2 channels driven. This receiver is not meant for your massive home theatre but will work brilliantly in a living room or smaller space. Decoding 7.2 will allow you a full bookshelf surround setup. Should you wish to incorporate height into the room then it fully supports Dolby Atmos as well as DTS:X. The NR1711 also supports eARC for decoding these audio formats directly from your TV.

NR1711

If you have a newer TV or projector then have no fear as this little receiver will run all formats of HDR. From Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dynamic HDR. There is no need to compromise on quality just because you don’t need massive power.

Here is an overview of the Features:

  • Slim design with all of the performance you expect from Marantz
  • 7 Channel discrete power putting out 50W per channel (8-ohm, 20Hz – 20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2ch. drive)
  • One 8K input and one output for 8K quality video from 8K source devices; 8K upscaling available on all six HDMI ports.
  • eARC HDMI for Atmos and DTS:X support.
  • HDR including Vision, HDR+, HLG and Dynamic HDR
  • 4K/120HZ with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Quick Frame Transport (QFT)
  • Hi-Res audio Streaming
  • HEOS built-in wireless multi-room streaming
  • Bluetooth and Wifi support
