Marantz HORIZON Wireless Speaker

Description

About the Marantz HORIZON Wireless Speaker

The Marantz HORIZON Wireless Speaker uses a 6-driver array, including a 6.5-inch Marantz Gravity woofer, 3 x 2-inch full-range / wideband drivers, and 2 x 1-inch tweeters. Power comes from a 310W Marantz Rise GaN FET amplifier, with Marantz Mirage DSP helping control the soundfield and tuning options.

The HORIZON also includes HEOS Built-in, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, HDMI eARC, optical input, RCA input, USB-C playback, and Ethernet. It can work as a standalone wireless speaker, join a HEOS multi-room system, or be paired with another HORIZON for a true stereo setup.

What We Like

At Rapallo, the Marantz HORIZON is ideal for customers who want a beautiful, premium wireless speaker that still feels like a proper hi-fi product. It is much more than a Bluetooth speaker. Instead, it combines Marantz amplifier design, HEOS streaming, a serious multi-driver layout, and wired inputs for everyday flexibility.

The HORIZON is the smaller model below the GRAND HORIZON. However, it still offers strong output, a 6.5-inch bass driver, 310W amplification, HDMI eARC, and a luxury design. Therefore, it is a great choice for lounges, apartments, bedrooms, offices, and design-led spaces where a traditional hi-fi rack may not suit.

We also like its TV flexibility. HDMI eARC allows a compatible TV to send sound directly to the HORIZON, which makes it a stylish alternative to a soundbar for customers who mainly want premium stereo-style sound from one elegant speaker. Plus, HEOS gives it app control, multi-room streaming, and access to supported music services.

For NZ customers, the Marantz HORIZON is a strong fit where simplicity, design, and sound quality all matter. Use one as a statement wireless speaker, or use two as a stereo pair for a wider and more traditional hi-fi image.

Premium Marantz Wireless Speaker

The HORIZON is a reference wireless speaker powered by HEOS. It brings Marantz’s premium design language, Sound Master tuning, streaming convenience, and high-output amplification into one compact all-in-one speaker.

6-Driver Acoustic System

The speaker uses six drivers, including a 6.5-inch Marantz Gravity woofer, three 2-inch wideband drivers, and two 1-inch high-frequency drivers. This driver layout helps the HORIZON create a wide, powerful sound from one enclosure.

310W Marantz Rise GaN FET Amplification

The HORIZON uses Marantz Rise amplification with GaN FET technology and a total amplifier power rating of 310W. This gives the speaker strong output while keeping control, efficiency, and low distortion as key design goals.

Marantz Gravity Woofer

The 6.5-inch Marantz Gravity woofer provides the speaker’s bass foundation. It helps the HORIZON sound larger and more confident than many smaller wireless speakers.

Marantz Mirage DSP

Marantz Mirage DSP manages the speaker’s multi-driver array and tuning options. Mirage DSP gives users sound adjustment options such as Spaciousness, Warmth, Clarity, Pure mode, and Sound Master mode.

HEOS Built-In Streaming

HEOS Built-in gives the HORIZON app control, music streaming, and compatible multi-room audio. It can join other HEOS products around the home and can stream from supported services, local music libraries, and connected devices.

AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Spotify Connect

Wireless playback options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect. This makes the HORIZON easy to use from phones, tablets, computers, and compatible music apps.

HDMI eARC for TV Sound

HDMI eARC lets a compatible TV send sound to the HORIZON. This makes it an elegant alternative to a soundbar for movies, sport, gaming, and everyday TV audio.

Wired Input Flexibility

The HORIZON includes HDMI eARC, optical TOSLINK, RCA analogue input, USB-C, and Ethernet. This means it can connect to a TV, optical digital source, compatible analogue source, network connection, or USB-C music storage.

Stereo Pairing Option

Two HORIZON speakers can be paired for stereo playback in the same room. This gives customers a more traditional left-right listening experience while keeping the system wireless and elegant.

Dolby Atmos Compatible

Retail and product coverage lists the HORIZON as Dolby Atmos compatible. This gives it extra flexibility for supported content and TV audio use.

Radiance 360 Seamless Ecofiber

The HORIZON is wrapped in Marantz Radiance 360 Seamless Ecofiber. Launch coverage describes the fabric as made from recycled ocean plastics, giving the speaker a sustainable and premium finish.

AuraControl Touch Interface

The front ring uses Marantz AuraControl lighting and touch interaction. The illuminated ring responds as you approach and can be used for control, including volume adjustment.

Award-Winning Design

Marantz lists the HORIZON as an iF Design Award 2025 and Red Dot Design Award 2025 recognised product. It is a statement speaker designed to be seen, not hidden.

Perfect System Match

The perfect system match is the Marantz HORIZON as the main wireless speaker in a premium living room, bedroom, office, or apartment system. Connect it to the TV with HDMI eARC, stream music through HEOS, and use AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth for quick everyday playback.

For a more spacious music presentation, add a second HORIZON and use them as a wireless stereo pair. This gives you a wider left-right image while keeping the system simple, stylish, and easy to use.
