Slim Profile

Enjoy the most musical performance from a compact, slim chassis. At half the height of a traditional AV receiver, the NR1200 still delivers the musical sound that’s synonymous with Marantz.

The Most Musical Sound

Extensively tuned by Marantz sound masters at the most state of the art facilities to deliver an exquisite sonic signature. No component leaves the hands of Marantz sound masters until it passes rigorous testing. Envelop yourself with the most musical sound, from any source.

Power to Suit Your Audio Preferences

Whatever your audiophile inclinations, the Marantz NR1200 always delivers the sound you require through its powerful high-current discrete power amplifier with separate L/R power amp circuit and power transformer. With 75W of power per channel (8-ohm, 20Hz – 20kHz, 0.08% THD), enjoy your high-resolution musical collection with refined Marantz sound.

Latest HDMI Connectivity

Includes 5 HDMI inputs, each one supporting HDCP 2.3, 4K Ultra HD 60Hz video, 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, HLG, High Dynamic Range (HDR10), 21:9 video, 3D and BT.2020 pass-through. Plus, ARC (Audio Return Channel) supports the transmission of audio from your TV with a single HDMI cable, simplifying overall setup. HDMI inputs automatically rename themselves with information provided by the source.

Dual DAC Differential Circuit Design

The NR1200 slim stereo network receiver features high class 8ch AK4458 DAC configured in Dual Differential Mode, means two DACs are used per channel including the subwoofer channel. This design greatly improves the signal to noise (s/n) ratio, increasing the dynamic range significantly and is reproducing clearer sound even from sources with very low signal resolution.

Left/Right Power Amplifier Design

The amplifier circuit design of the NR1200 features separate, symmetrical left and right power amplifiers, with a central power supply distribution. This design improves channel separation, reduces crosstalk and preserves the musical sound stage clarity that you expect from a Marantz product.

Marantz Custom Sound Design

Marantz has a steadfast reputation for choosing the best-possible components for its Hi-Fi Premium Series products. Marantz engineers thoughtfully selected and optimized the NR1200 through extensive listening at dedicated Marantz facilities in Europe and Japan using only the most premier Hi-Fi tuned sound parts.

Separate Power Transformer for Sound Purity

Built for pure Marantz musical reproduction, the NR1200 features a power transformer wired independently from the circuits of the amplifier, pre amplifier, wireless module and front display, which reduces interference and provides pure, clean sound.

Speaker A/B

The NR1200 features speaker A/B letting you easily configure it to drive two pairs of loudspeakers in separate rooms, or to drive a single pair of bi-wired audiophile compatible speakers.

Listen via your Bluetooth Headphones

You can easily connect your Bluetooth Headphones to the NR1200, to enjoy even more listening comfort (via firmware update in late 2019). Use this feature to move freely in your living room, enjoying the source you have selected on the NR1200, with pure freedom. Use it at night for not to disturb the neighbours, or compensate a hearing loss so that you don’t have to turn up the volume of the speakers unnecessarily. Once connected, you can either select to play only through the headphones, or simultaneously play through the speakers and the headphones at the same time, with individual volume control on the headphones.

With HEOS and Alexa, you can stream to this product and any other product with HEOS Built-in.

Google Assistant Voice Control

Ask your Google Home, Google app or other devices with Google Assistant built-in to control content across your listening environment. Start music in the HEOS app, then ask your Google Assistant to control volume, play, pause, skip tracks and more. “Works with the Google Assistant” feature is always improving.

Hi-Res Audio Support

Decodes hi-res audio ALAC, FLAC and WAV lossless files up to 24-bit/192-kHz, as well as DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks (the audiophile format of SACD) lets you enjoy music exactly as the artist intended. Listen to your music via the front panel USB port or over network sources.

Integrated Phono Input

Easily connect your analogue turntable to the receiver and enjoy the pure intent of each recording within your vinyl collection.

Auto Low Latency Mode for Xbox One

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) ensures Xbox One users have a more responsive and immersive gaming experience when connected with select TV models that also support ALLM.

Easy to Setup, Easy to Use

The NR1200 features a horizontal row premium loudspeaker terminals. The included Setup Assistant offers clear, graphical on-screen direction, and the Quick Start Guide ensures optimal setup for any configuration.

Dual Subwoofer Outputs

Marantz AVR Remote App

The Marantz AVR Remote app for iOS and Android provides complete control over the latest Marantz network AV receivers. Use it to power on/off, adjust volume, input and settings, or switch instantly to the HEOS app for controlling your network music.

Simple Smart Select Functions

Four Smart Select function buttons on the included remote control store your preferred setup — including input and volume. With the push of a button, the NR1200 perfectly configures for any source, from Blu-ray to TV set-top box, to your favourite Internet radio station and more.

Smart TV Connectivity

Easily control the NR1200 with your Smart TV remote via the HDMI CEC functionality associated with your Smart TV. Simply set “HDMI Control” to ON in your receiver, then set “Smart Menu” to ON and begin controlling the receiver with your TV remote. The Smart Menu home screen gives you quick access to source and sound mode selections, the setup menu and four Smart Select options.

Intelligent ECO Mode

Integrated ECO mode provides energy savings and an on-screen ECO meter. Use the receiver in power-saving mode to reduce maximum output power or adopt low-power strategies across settings. Either way, the sound quality that defines Marantz excellence remains unchanged.
