HDMI ARC Input

Not every TV needs a full surround system, but every TV deserves great sound. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input enables audio from your TV (including sources connected to the TV like game consoles, streaming devices and more) to play back through your stereo with the warmth and dimensionality you’ve come to love from Marantz. HDMI CEC is also included for an easy user experience.

High-Resolution Digital Streaming Built-In

MODEL 50 is for those whose music collection is infinite and online. Connect to your network with Wi-Fi or ethernet. With HEOS® Built-in, you won’t need extra equipment to stream your favorite tunes. MODEL 50 supports Spotify, Airplay 2, Bluetooth, Tidal, TuneIn, and more services—plus, playback of your own collection via USB-A input or on compatible home servers.

Luxurious Look and Feel

MODEL 50 follows a long line of historic Marantz pieces notable for their exquisite design. Every aspect is considered—from premium materials, symmetry, classic porthole display, and even smooth operation of the volume control. Your stereo doesn’t need to look like lab equipment. Marantz MODEL 50 begs to be heard, seen, and touched.

Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules

To preserve the detail, nuance and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules) which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products. MODEL 50 leverages this unique Marantz innovation to ensure whatever you’re listening to is always the most musical.

Marantz Musical Phono EQ

The joy of vinyl playback is both audible and tactile yet requires highly specialized electronics for high performance. The Marantz Musical Phono EQ is built in so you can connect a turntable with MM cartridge directly to MODEL 50. You’ll enjoy your favorite records and discover new ones, all without the burden of additional electronics.

Subwoofer Output

Deep bass is a visceral and exciting sensation. When partnered with equally excellent speakers, MODEL 50 produces impressive bass. If you want more, add a subwoofer using the dedicated subwoofer output and dial in the low-frequency crossover settings and levels for precise integration with your main loudspeakers.
