Marantz AMP 30 6-Channel Power Amplifier

Description

About the Marantz AMP 30 6-Channel Power Amplifier

The Marantz AMP 30 6-Channel Power Amplifier is rated at 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms, using Marantz’s exclusive HDAM circuitry with high-efficiency, low-distortion Class D amplification. It also supports selectable output modes, including normal operation, BTL bridged mode, and bi-amp mode.

Designed and crafted in Shirakawa, Japan, the AMP 30 combines serious power, flexible system building, balanced and unbalanced inputs, Marantz control integration, and the brand’s modern premium design language with porthole level meter and soft side illumination.

What We Think

At Rapallo, the Marantz AMP 30 is a smart power amplifier for customers building a high-quality separates-based home cinema system. It is especially useful when you want stronger, cleaner amplification than an AV receiver can usually provide.

The six-channel layout makes it very flexible. You can use one AMP 30 to drive front, centre, surround, or height channels. You can also add further AMP 30, AMP 20, or AMP 10 amplifiers for larger immersive systems. This makes it a strong match for serious Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, AURO-3D, and multi-channel cinema rooms.

We also like the output mode flexibility. In normal mode, it gives you six channels at 200W. In BTL mode, it can bridge channels to provide up to three channels at 400W. In bi-amp mode, it can split signals for speakers with separate high and low frequency inputs. That makes it useful for both home theatre power and more focused speaker control.

For NZ customers building a premium home theatre, the AMP 30 is best partnered with the Marantz AV 30 processor. It can also be used to expand existing Marantz AV separates systems where more power or more channels are required. The result is a cleaner, more scalable system than trying to do everything from one box.
