Unlike the Cinema 60, the Cinema 50 brings a lot of upgrades compared to the unit it is meant to replace. A completely new design with redesigned internals, Auro-3D, 360 Reality Audio and MPEG-H Audio support, future Dirac Live support, six full 40Gbps bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, support for four independent subwoofers, a new updated 1080p resolution user interface, an updated Pre-Amplifier mode to support specific usage of channels and a minor update to its WiFi module is the most notable ones.

A refined AVR offering 9-channel power for a full Atmos or DTS:X setup. It has excellent room-correction capabilities with an innovative multiple-subwoofer option.

The updated Marantz Cinema 50 AVR provides 9 channels of power, allowing for a complete Atmos or DTS:X installation. We think you can't go wrong with this product for your home theater installation because of its cutting-edge room-correction features and numerous subwoofer option.

The Marantz Cinema 50 combines a hardcore home cinema spec with a chic, contemporary design. Features include future-proofed 4K 120Hz HDMI inputs, a sharp new user interface, and bullet proof HEOS multiroom Hi-res streaming. Ultimately though, it’s the amp’s gorgeous musicality and dynamic delivery that has us holding two thumbs enthusiastically aloft.

The Cinema 50 is a knockout AV amp, with a forward-leaning spec, excellent connectivity and a performance that’s as smooth and exhilarating as a bobsleigh run.
