ℹ Product Information
Stop Watching. Start Feeling. The Marantz CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 is a powerful 7.2-channel AV receiver with 100W per channel, HDAM SA2 amplifier modules, Dolby Atmos, Dirac Live room correction (upgradeable), an upgraded 32-bit 8-channel DAC, 6 HDMI inputs with dual outputs and eARC, support for two screens, HEOS™ multi-room streaming, and Roon Ready — powerful performance in a timeless, feature-rich Marantz design.
Stop Watching. Start Feeling.
At Marantz, we believe true cinematic experiences come to life through sound. The CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 is the realisation of that belief — a powerful 7.2-channel AV receiver engineered to elevate everything you love about movies, from explosive sound effects and crystal-clear dialogue to captivating musical scores, with the impact and clarity of signature Marantz sound.
Built on decades of engineering expertise and a passion for exceptional sound, the CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 delivers breathtaking home theatre experiences with serious amplification credentials. Seven discrete power amplifiers, each driven by Current Feedback Topology and Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM SA2), deliver 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms — or 140 watts into 6 ohms — with the control, dynamics, and musical refinement that distinguish Marantz from the competition.
Advanced connectivity includes seven HDMI ports with dual outputs, eARC, and support for two independent screens simultaneously — making the CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 as capable as a home theatre hub as it is musically rewarding as a two-channel listening platform.
Next-Generation Audio Performance — HDAM SA2 & Current Feedback Topology
The CINEMA 60 SERIES 2's amplifier section represents a meaningful step beyond a conventional AV receiver. Current Feedback Topology — a circuit architecture chosen for its exceptional speed, low distortion, and wide bandwidth — drives seven discrete power amplifiers, each equipped with Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM SA2). These discrete, hand-selected component modules replace generic integrated circuits, delivering the open, natural, and deeply musical character that Marantz Sound Masters have refined over decades.
An upgraded high-performance 32-bit 8-channel DAC enhances clarity, resolution, and dynamic range across every source — combined with carefully selected components, Sound Master tuned performance, Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction, and optional Dirac Live upgrade for the finest possible adaptation to your room's acoustic character.
Dolby Atmos & Complete Immersive Audio Decoding
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Atmos Height Virtualisation, and Atmos Music decoding brings three-dimensional object-based audio to every seat in the room — placing sound precisely in space, above, around, and through the listener, exactly as the director and mixing engineer intended. DTS:X, DTS Neural:X, DTS Virtual:X, and DTS-HD complete an immersive audio decoding suite that covers every major format in use today.
Pure Direct mode eliminates all digital processing from the signal path for the purest possible two-channel music performance — making the CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 as capable as a dedicated stereo amplifier as it is as a home cinema hub.
Flexible Connectivity for Modern Entertainment
Six HDMI 2.1 inputs with HDCP 2.3 support handle every modern source with 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz pass-through, Variable Refresh Rate, ALLM, AMD FreeSync (HDMI 4–6), and full Dynamic HDR support including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. Two HDMI outputs enable simultaneous connection to two displays — with 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through on both outputs (3 in / 2 out at up to 40Gbps). eARC and ARC on the main output ensures the highest quality audio return from your television.
On the analogue side, four stereo analogue inputs, a Moving Magnet phono input, two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, and front USB cover every source. 7.2 multichannel pre-amp outputs and two subwoofer outputs provide maximum system configuration flexibility — and RS232 control, IP control, IR Flasher, Marantz Remote Bus, and DC Trigger output accommodate the most sophisticated custom installation requirements.
For the Soundtrack of Your Life — HEOS™ & Roon Ready
HEOS™ transforms the CINEMA 60 SERIES 2 into the hub of a whole-home audio network. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music HD, Deezer, Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, SoundCloud, Mood Mix, TuneIn Internet Radio, and Roon Ready cover every major streaming service. Lossless FLAC, WAV, and ALAC up to 192kHz/24-bit, DSD at 2.8 and 5.6MHz, and gapless playback ensure high-resolution sources are handled with complete fidelity. Two independent zones with full multi-room capability extend the listening experience throughout your home.
