The Cinema 40 features Marantz's iconic porthole design—a round status display panel flanked by volume and input dials. It's a uniquely geometric style that feels substantial thanks to Marantz's use of premium materials. For example, a smooth metal panel hides the front USB port, function buttons, and main display, keeping everything tidy and streamlined. This design is subtle and sophisticated, without sacrificing usability. From the moment you see it, the Cinema 40’s premium design makes a strong impression.
As well as looking impressive at first glance, the Marantz Cinema 40 performs superbly. By combining the latest technology and high-grade electrical components, this home cinema amplifier is engineered to deliver the best audio and visual quality. With 125 Watts of power per channel and support for all the latest and greatest video, sound, and streaming formats, the Cinema 40 is thoroughly equipped to harmoniously co-exist in your home.
The Cinema 40 supports a wide range of spatial audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround, Auro-3D, DTS:X, and DTS Virtual:X. Auro-3D delivers lifelike sound, while DTS:X dynamically routes audio to the most suitable speaker. Virtual:X and DTS Neural:X add virtual height effects, enhancing immersion without ceiling speakers. Dolby Height Virtualisation also enhances spatial effects, creating a cinematic experience, even without dedicated overhead speakers.
While streaming to multiple rooms or utilising multiple speakers and devices, HEOS Built-in is your ticket to comprehensive control. Sync all your music across various streaming platforms for access to everything you need in one place. Pair your Cinema 40 with HEOS-enabled devices—such as speakers or a TV—and play music with no constraints.
By pairing the Cinema 40 with any of the popular virtual AI assistants, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple’s Hey Siri, you can control your amplifier and its connected devices hands-free. Wherever you are in your home, easily command your devices using only voice. Virtual Assistants connected to your amplifier can assist with skipping or reversing track orders, requesting songs from across your music library and beyond, adjusting the volume, and much more.
Marantz now proudly obtain Roon Tested certifications for all their new AV amplifiers. This compatibility guarantees that your Cinema 40 AV amplifier will work seamlessly with a Roon subscription package. If you choose to subscribe to Roon, you’ll benefit from an extended music library. Easily browse artist and song news while you listen, and find concerts, photos, reviews and more on the Roon app—downloadable across your range of smart devices.
