Mahwah, NJ, June 5, 2013 — Marantz, a world leader in advanced home entertainment
solutions, announces the launch of the latest models in its acclaimed line of SR
Series home theater receivers. Featuring exceptional
performance enhancements and significant upgrades, models SR5008, SR6008 and SR7008
raise the bar for sound quality, design, build, and ease of use. Delivering sound
quality that’s sure to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles, all SR Series
models are equipped with Marantz's proprietary HDAM® (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier
Module) technology and current-feedback circuitry.
“This exclusive HDAM and current-feedback technology, part of what makes Marantz
products sound so great was previously found only in our flagship and Reference
series products, but we’ve incorporated it into all three SR Series receivers,”
said Paul Belanger, technical product manager, D+M Group. “These new SR Series receivers
bring the finest sound quality to the full range of customers who want to build
the best sounding home theater system to fit their budget—a proud testament to Marantz’s
60 years of audiophile heritage.”
Other exciting upgrades in the new SR Series line include improved speaker terminals
and enhanced, user-friendly setup and operation assistance on all models. In addition
to HDAM and current-feedback circuitry, the SR6008 now features dual discrete HDMI
matrix outputs and digital to analog audio conversion for multizone playback. The
SR7008 now includes the same superior multizone capabilities added to the SR6008—plus
an upgrade from 7 to 9 channels of amplification and Audyssey Laboratories’ most
advanced suite of room correction features including Audyssey MultiEQ XT32 and Sub
EQHT.
As always, the SR Series lineup features Marantz’s unparalleled design with the
iconic “star and circle” porthole display and curved front panel. The receivers’
build quality is second to none, backed by a three-year warranty on all models covering
parts and labor. All three models feature Apple’s AirPlay, allowing users to stream
their iTunes music whether from Mac or PC, as well as music stored on their iPhone,

SR7008
9.2 Channel 4K Ultra HD Networking Home Theater Receiver with MultiEQ XT32 &
Sub EQHT At an MSRP of $1,999, the flagship SR7008 offers simplicity and elegance
with the classic blue illuminated porthole display, plus a drop-down door on a brushed

beautifully detailed sound audophiles expect from a receiver of this caliber.
Comprehensive features include an Ethernet port, seven HDMI inputs, three HDMI outputs,
and playback of the latest high-definition audio formats. DTS Neo:X and Audyssey
DSX make full 9.2-channel playback possible when speakers are set up for the front-height

SR7008 features Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 and Audyssey Sub EQ HT Dual subwoofer calibration
system making it simple and straightforward to maximize home theater performance
for any size or configuration of room. MultEQ measures the characteristics of each
speaker in the system and quickly generates precision digital filters for the smoothest,
most natural tonal balance over the entire audio range. Additionally, Audyssey LFC
solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in adjacent rooms.
