Our thoughts

Full Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding in a chassis just 105 mm tall, which opens up low-clearance TV cabinets that taller receivers can't occupy.

Every channel runs its own discrete high-current amplifier, aiming for consistent drive across the surround array. Eight HDMI inputs, including one on the front panel, mean a console, streamer and disc player can all live on the receiver rather than behind a separate switcher, with 4K pass-through for HDR, Dolby Vision and HLG. Audyssey MultEQ is designed to set levels, distances and EQ around the room, while Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume are intended to help keep the balance consistent across listening levels.

This pre-loved unit suits a TV on a low cabinet or in shallow AV furniture, with HEOS, Bluetooth and AirPlay covering streaming. Talk to our team by phone or in store about speaker impedance and how it sits with your sources.

The Audio Tailor team, Murarrie showroom

The Marantz NR1608 is a compact, ultra-slim 7.2-channel network AV receiver designed to deliver high-end home theatre performance while fitting neatly beneath modern flat-panel TVs or inside shallow AV furniture. Despite its slender form, it packs a full suite of modern AV features.

Design & Form Factor

With a height of just ~105 mm, the NR1608 was engineered to fit into tight spaces where taller receivers won’t. Its outward simplicity belies a full complement of audio and video capabilities.

Amplification & Audio Performance

Every one of its seven channels is driven by discrete power amplifier topology, allowing for consistent performance across speaker channels. In typical two-channel stereo use, it delivers 50 W per channel into 8 Ω at low distortion. The NR1608 is also capable of supporting immersive 3D sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, making it suitable for modern surround setups.

Video & HDMI Support

The NR1608 supports full 4K/60 Hz pass-through with support for 4:4:4 colour, HDR, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Legacy analog and SD/HD sources can be upscaled to 4K via HDMI output. Moreover, it includes 8 HDMI inputs (1 on the front panel) and a single HDMI output with HDCP 2.2 compliance, making it well equipped for contemporary sources.

Streaming & Connectivity

It incorporates HEOS for wireless multi-room audio, allowing you to stream music across various HEOS devices. It also supports Bluetooth, AirPlay, and online streaming services (Spotify, TIDAL, etc.). For local media, the unit supports high-resolution file types like DSD, FLAC, ALAC, and WAV over USB and network sources.

Room Calibration & DSP

The built-in Audyssey MultEQ system helps optimize speaker levels, distances, and EQ for your listening environment. Additional processing tools like Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume help maintain balanced sound across different volume levels.

Marantz NR1608 Use Cases & Strengths

  • Ideal where height is restricted — such as TV cabinets with low clearance

  • Full-featured AV capabilities despite slim design

  • Strong connectivity (HDMI, streaming, network)

  • Immersive surround support in a compact chassis
