The AV10 is a dedicated preamplifier and surround processor with no internal amplification. It is engineered to drive external power amplifiers, such as the companion Marantz AMP 10, via its balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA outputs. Which room calibration technologies are supported?The AV10 comes equipped with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 calibration out of the box and supports Dirac Live (including Dirac Live Bass Control) via an optional licence upgrade. Can the four subwoofer outputs be calibrated independently?Yes. The unit features four discrete, independently managed subwoofer pre-outs, allowing individual level matching, delay adjustment, and acoustic correction across advanced multi-subwoofer arrays. Do all HDMI inputs support 8K video?All seven rear HDMI inputs and two main HDMI outputs support full 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough alongside HDCP 2.3 copy protection.
