Marantz Adopts Audyssey in Its AV Receivers
Posted on | July 13, 2010 | Comments Off
Is this a sign of economic recovery?
Audyssey ® today announced that Marantz’s 2010 line of AV receivers now uses a full complement of Audyssey technologies. Marantz, known for its innovative hardware advances, was one of the first companies to use the award-winning Audyssey MultEQ room calibration and equalization technology when it first partnered with Audyssey in 2005. Each new Marantz model will use MultEQ, Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume with two models adding Audyssey DSX and MultEQ Pro capability.
News like this is not uninteresting to those officiandos that observe the home theater industry.
It is relatively easy to miss the subtle inference, to boost room equalization and performance. What’s that you say? Possibly is a pure sample of the changed business environment at the end of the day, especially on the topic of randomness.
Looking at the fine print, we see something very interesting.
In September, the Marantz SR6005AV Receiver (MSRP –is inclined $999) with Audyssey MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume will be available. The Marantz AV7005 (MSRP –is inclined $1,499) pre-amp will hit stores in October and, like the SR7005, will feature Audyssey DSX for additional height or wide channels, Audyssey MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. It can also be tuned with MultEQ Pro by a certified installer.
Whether or not your skeptical about such things, it is difficult to ignore the obvious.
In addition to the new Audyssey technologies, all of these products are fully compatible with the latest 3D TVs and Blu-ray players and feature a USB connection for iPod players, keeping Marantz fully up-to-date with the latest developments in audio and video.
