Marantz has unveiled a new multi-channel AV receiver, the SR8001. Future-proofed up to the gills, the SR8001 features four HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, can handle video and audio switching plus upconversion from analogue video signals to HDMI including
interlaced to progressive conversion.
As well as being THX Select II certified the SR8001 incorporates 32-bit Digital Signal Processing circuitry, boasts 24-bit/192kHz DACs on all channels and fires out an meaty 900 watts power in total.
All of the digital, analogue and control circuits are separated and shielded in their own enclosures to prevent interference, and the SR8001 also boasts independent power supplies for the FL display, audio and video sections for maximum separation. Other highlights include a backlit learning remote handset and auto room set-up function.
The Marantz SR8001 is out now, priced around £1,200.
