The new product from Marantz — the NR1711 AV receiver — supports 8K video at 60 Hz, and the 4K display frequency can reach 120 Hz. The AV receiver is equipped with advanced sound optimization taking into account the acoustic characteristics of the room using Audyssey MultEQ XT 9. Marantz NR1711 occupies the top position in the NR line of AV receivers with low-profile cases, the height of which is half the height of conventional full-size devices. The model supports object-oriented 3D sound formats DTS:X and Dolby Atmos in 5.1.2-channel version. The DTS Virtual:X codec and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology are available to simulate the sound of ceiling or specialized speakers in multi-channel systems not equipped with such speakers. There is also a 4K upscaling function on board.

Seven high-current discrete amplifiers provide 90 W per channel at 6 Ohms, and the AV receiver works confidently even with a 4-Ohm load. The Audyssey MultEQ system helps calibrate the speakers. In addition, the model uses technologies for optimizing volume and frequency response – Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ. The receiver is compatible with personal assistants Google Assistant, Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa, allowing you to give it voice commands. To control the Marantz NR1711, you can use the proprietary application or the standard remote control.

The Marantz NR1711 receiver can be used as a streamer, which allows you to listen to audio (including Hi-Res formats ALAC, FLAC and WAV up to 24 bit/192 kHz and DSD up to 5.6 MHz) from computers/servers on a local network or via a USB port located on the front. With a web connection, you can access streaming services Deezer, Spotify Connect, Tidal, TuneIn, etc. The model is equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi circuits with two ranges, which allows the Marantz NR1711 to feel confident even in busy Wi-Fi networks. Support for the AirPlay 2 protocol helps organize a wireless multi-room system based on iOS devices. The AV receiver can also work as part of the HEOS wireless ecosystem. All components of the HEOS system can be controlled using a single application and broadcast audio from smartphones, streaming services and local networks to them. You can synchronize playback of the same audio track in different rooms or ensure the transmission of selected content to a selected group of HEOS devices.
