With all-digital amplification, the MA7100HP delivers great performance and is energy efficient. With 125 watts of power output, it can handle larger rooms and effortlessly deliver a cinematic experience. Equipped with the latest audio technologies, including Dirac Live and Dolby Atmos, the JBL MA7100HP takes your home theater experience to the next level. Ready for Dirac Live room tuning, the JBL MA7100HP can be set up to perfection. Dirac Live requires a license from the Dirac online store. If you prefer something simpler to set up than Dirac, simply download the free EZ Set EQ app and enjoy an easy-to-use equalizer to improve the sound quality in your home. The calibration system collects room acoustic data from each speaker and is a one-time process that takes just a few minutes.
With 7.2-channel surround sound, the JBL MA7100HP offers a wide range of speaker options. Add height speakers to a 5.2 system for a more spacious soundstage, or better yet, use the extra two channels of ceiling speakers to create a Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, 5.2.2 3D audio system. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X systems use ceiling or height speakers to deliver a fully immersive, three-dimensional audio experience. Whether it’s raining in the tropical jungle or the intense sounds of gunfire overhead, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X put you right in the middle of the action.
With three dedicated HDMI inputs compatible with 8K resolution, the JBL MA7100HP is ready for next-generation TVs and games. HDMI support is now also standard, allowing you to send uncompressed audio from your TV back to the receiver. HDMI eARC is ideal for getting the best sound from any Smart TV apps and services you may be using. HDMI 2.1 support also makes the MA7100HP ideal for connecting your gaming console. 4K/120Hz support and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) ensure maximum resolution and image clarity.
The improved HDMI interface also supports a wider range of HDR (High Dynamic Range) video formats. These include Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which enhance picture realism by transmitting dynamic metadata to your TV. Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) eliminates lag and frame tearing, providing a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.
With AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, you can easily connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible laptops/desktops and stream music wirelessly. Built-in Wi-Fi, which works with Apple and Android systems, provides easy access to a wide range of streaming music. Plus, connect your device via Bluetooth and enjoy improved sound quality compatible with high resolution when used with Qualcomm aptX HD or aptX Adaptive.
To ensure compatibility with all your video sources, the JBL is equipped with six HDMI inputs (three of which are HDMI 2.1). There are also two HDMI outputs, allowing you to connect two video sources, such as a TV and a projector. You can also connect a wide range of hi-fi sources, such as a CD player and a network music streamer, via digital optical, coaxial and analog inputs. Thanks to a dedicated MM phono audio input, you can even connect a turntable without the need for an additional preamplifier.
