Marantz SR6013: Impressive 3D Audio

The Marantz SR6013 is a 9.2-channel AV receiver that delivers 110W per channel at 6 Ohms and presents a 3D audio effect with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS: X formats (7.1.2 or 5.1.4). When you connect a stereo-powered receiver, you can build a 7.1.4-channel system, and when organizing a simpler surround sound system, it’s possible to connect speakers in an additional zone to two free amplifying channels. The device works with Ultra HD resolution and can scale video up to 4K.

Design

The front panel is made of aluminum and ideally fits the body frame. The round rotary volume controller and inputs selector are comfortable for the hand and gently rotate. All the inputs/outputs are placed on the rare side and don’t spoil the design of the device. Despite the small dimensions of the screen (it’s placed on the front side), all the inscriptions are brightly visible.

Features

It supports such technologies, as the Dynamic EQ (corrects the frequency response, providing an accurate sound with full bass even at low volumes), Dynamic Volume (equalizes the volume level), Sub EQ HT (optimizes the operation of two subwoofers), and LFC (prevents the penetration of bass into adjacent rooms). The Marantz SR6013 stereo receiver uses 2-band Wi-Fi for reliable signal reception. It also supports Bluetooth and AirPlay2 (allows you to organize a multi-room based on Apple devices). The model is able to integrate into the HEOS wireless system, where all components can be controlled through a single application that allows you to transfer local network audio files to HEOS devices or stream the audio from popular online services.

Performance

The HDAM modules with current feedback are used for amplification, which allows you to get a clean dynamic sound and cope with a low-impedance load (4 Ohms). There’s a special Eco mode that helps the receiver save energy. Pay attention that the simultaneous playback of one track in all locations or the broadcast of certain music to a designated group of HEOS devices is available.

Sound Quality

With the ability to handle low-impedance loads, the Marantz SR6013 provides sound stability with a wide variety of speakers, creating the conditions for the clarity and balance of sound. I really like the possibility of the system to smooth out sudden jumps in volume (for example, during television ads). Such a peculiarity allows enjoying lower volume levels while maintaining clarity of dialogue and overall sound quality.

Connectivity
