Marantz AV7702 A/V Preamplifier 11.2ch Dolby Atmos DTS:X Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4K

The Marantz AV7702 is an 11.2-channel A/V preamplifier and surround sound processor designed for high-performance home theater systems. It decodes the latest surround formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, handles high-resolution audio up to DSD and FLAC HD, and passes 4K/60p video through its HDMI outputs. All audio signals are processed through Marantz's own current-feedback HDAM preamp stage and a 32-bit SHARC DSP before reaching the balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA outputs — allowing connection to separate power amplifiers of your choice.

Applications

The AV7702 belongs to Marantz's reference-tier AV preamplifier line, designed for audiophile and high-end home theater installations where the preamplifier and power amplifier stages are kept separate. This architecture gives users the flexibility to pair the AV7702 with any combination of monoblock or multichannel power amplifiers, making it well suited to custom home theater builds, dedicated media rooms, and integrator-installed systems. The 11.2-channel output configuration supports Dolby Atmos height channel layouts (e.g. 7.2.4 or 9.2.2), and the balanced XLR outputs are particularly useful in larger rooms where longer cable runs between the preamp and remote power amps are common. The AV7702 was introduced in the 2014–2015 product cycle as Marantz's flagship AV preamp of that era, preceding the AV7702mkII, and remains a capable processor for current-generation surround formats. It is used in both residential high-end setups and small commercial screening rooms where a separate amplification strategy is preferred.
