February 8, 2023 — Marantz, an industry-leading modern and luxurious audio brand, is excited to announce its upcoming partnership with award-winning composer Max Richter to celebrate the launch of the brand’s CINEMA Series, a new line-up of premium home theater products. Richter joined Marantz to host an exclusive listening event in Los Angeles on February 6 at the famed Sheats-Goldstein Residence, welcoming esteemed guests with a series of intimate yet unexpected cinema experiences that inspired them to see sound differently.
Richter welcomed a guest list of top talent and creatives from the worlds of entertainment, media, design, art and culture for an intimate listening experience of the next installment of Richter’s genre defining new record. Honoring his groundbreaking work as a composer, pianist, producer, and collaborator across ballets, concert halls, video art installations and film and television, the evening celebrated the CINEMA Series’ powerful, picture-perfect sound framed by Richter’s own story as a pioneer in his industry. Sharing his personal vision of how he sees sound, Richter encouraged his guests to explore their own relationship with their senses through Marantz’s newest audio-visual products.
“We are excited to partner with Max Richter in celebration of our CINEMA Series,” said Joel Sietsema, Marantz brand president. “As a leading figure in contemporary music known for his memorable compositions for films such as Ad Astra and Mary Queen of Scots, Max is a true pioneer in music for motion pictures. Like our CINEMA Series line of high-performance audio-visual products, he has broken ground in defining the superior experience listeners can expect from sound in cinema.”
“Sound in cinema is everything; it’s the direct access to emotions and how what you’re hearing goes very deep,“ said Richter. “As a kid, I remember the first time I heard sound on a Marantz system, it was though I hadn’t heard music before by opening the door into a completely different space. With the CINEMA Series, you get that very exact experience every time.”
Marantz brings over 70 years as a pioneer of sound experience to the launch of the CINEMA Series. Handcrafted in Japan, this new line-up of premium yet easy-to-install home theater products establishes the benchmark for high-end performance; impeccable sound quality, feature-rich design, and beautiful styling. Consisting of a flagship immersive preamp/processor with matching 16-channel amplifier and four AV receivers, the CINEMA Series indulges movie and audio aficionados with the most superior, and stunning, at-home listening experience possible.
The CINEMA Series’ high-performance sound is driven by exceptional technology including the latest in immersive audio formats including Dolby Atmos, TSS:X, plus 8K video, room optimization, streaming and more.
