If any product deserves the term “flagship,” it’s the
SR7005 Surround Sound A/V receiver. From HDMI 1.4a capability and
internet connectivity to control flexibility and loudspeaker-taming power
(125 continuous watts x 7), this receiver brings you the best of Marantz’s long-standing devotion to extraordinary sound
quality. It’s the answer for anyone who wants to bring a home
entertainment system fully into the 21st Century.
The SR7005 connects to your home network, interfacing with other connected
components while putting you in touch with virtually everything on the web.
You can utilize third-party I/P control systems, perform remote maintenance,
and get firmware updates to make your system work better!
Elegant Design
Simplicity and elegance characterize the SR7005.
First seen on Marantz’s Model 9 amplifier, the
iconic circular display, complete with the Marantz “Star” symbol, provides
“at a glance” status checks on input selection and gain setting. The
drop-down door hides a vacuum fluorescent display, secondary controls, and
connectors from sight until you need them.
Fits almost anywhere
Barely 16” deep from front panel controls to speaker
terminals, the SR7005 fits where other receivers can’t – on a shelf or
in a custom cabinet.
Audio quality
With audio circuitry that includes our proprietary HDAM (Hyper-Dynamic
Amplifier Module) circuits, Current Feedback topology, and seven
fully-discrete, 125 watt amplifiers, the SR7005 provides the dynamic music
and soundtrack reproduction you demand.
Vinyl aficionados rejoice! Enjoy Marantz-quality sound
from your entire record collection, thanks to the current-feedback MM phono
input.
HDAM
HDAMs combine the short signal path advantages of
ICs (integrated circuit) and opamps (operational
amplifier) with the superior sound quality of separate circuit
components.
An HDAM’s size is important, particularly in an A/V
receiver where space is very limited. Because HDAMs
are discrete designs, Marantz engineers are free to choose the parts best
able to preserve the sonic details of your favorite
sources.
Current Feedback
Current feedback circuits usually exhibit faster rise and
fall times and higher slew rates than their voltage feedback cousins.
(Think of rise and fall times as an automobile’s acceleration and braking
capabilities respectively. Slew rate is analogous to a car’s cornering
ability.)
As a consequence, current feedback designs track rapid sonic
changes more accurately and thus sound more natural.
Discrete Amplifiers
Each of the SR7005’s seven amplifiers is built with the
finest discrete components, not off-the-shelf “Power Pack” ICs. As a
result, each amplifier delivers 125 continuous watts over the entire audio
bandwidth for visceral bass and natural, unforced mid and high frequencies.
M-DAX – Makes you iPod and MP3’s Sound Better
Marantz’s M-DAX 2, an updated and refined
version of the original Marantz Dynamic Audio eXpander,
calculates just the amount of high frequency information typical file
compression formats remove – and then restores it so you enjoy full
fidelity when playing back MP3 or WMA music files.
HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) has become the
de facto standard for connecting components in today’s best home
entertainment systems. The SR7005 fully supports the latest 1.4a
version with six inputs (one on the front panel) and two outputs. You’ll
enjoy the convenience of single-cable connections, the latest 3D technology,
an Audio Return Channel, and Standby Pass-Through. In addition, HDMI
1.4a supports a host of other performance enhancements.
Connectivity
The SR7005 makes your home entertainment world far, far
larger than you imagined. In addition to conventional sources such as Blu-ray players and set-top cable/satellite boxes, the
SR7005 A/V receiver gives you easy ways to listen to the music you’ve already
stored on an iPhone or other portable music player,

the optional RX101 module.
DLNA
The SR7005’s Ethernet connection is DLNA (Digital
Living Network Alliance) 1.5 and Windows 7 compliant. This means it’s
easier for you access and enjoy digital music on your PC.
The SR7005 connects to your home network, interfacing with other
connected components while putting you in touch with virtually everything on
the web. You can utilize third-party I/P control systems, perform remote
maintenance, and get firmware updates to make your system work better!
