The AV8805 is the latest generation flagship A/V processor and preamp from Marantz.
Featuring support for up to 13.2 channels of immersive sound, the AV8805 includes Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D, and the complete Audyssey Platinum suite. The processor features HDMI 2.0b with support for 4K/60p video pass-through, Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Marantz will also be offering a future paid hardware update to the latest HDMI 2.1 standard so the AV8805 is ready for the future with 8K video.
The AV8805 is the top-of-the-line 13.2-channel processor preamp from Marantz. It supports the latest object-based surround formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced, as well as the Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X upmixers, which are capable of creating an immersive multi-dimensional surround experience from a stereo or multichannel soundtrack. The AV8805 includes support for DTS Virtual:X which can create a virtual multi-dimensional surround experience regardless of room layout and with as few as a stereo pair of speakers. While only available as a paid upgrade on the prior AV8802/AV8802A series processor, Marantz is now including Auro-3D decoding as a standard option on the AV8805. Marantz has also released a firmware update which adds support for IMAX Enhanced content if you have the requisite IMAX Enhanced certified 4K/HDR TV or projector.
Marantz continues to include the full version of the Audyssey Platinum suite which features Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction. They have also included support for the paid Audyssey MultEQ Editor App which allows for the viewing and modification of the Audyssey calibration results from a compatible Apple or Android device. The AV8805 supports HDMI 2.0b, HDCP 2.2, 4K/60p video and 3D video pass-through, BT.2020 wide color gamut, 4:4:4 color subsampling, Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). The AV8805 is DLNA 1.5 certified and also supports wireless streaming with HEOS, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect (including free account support), and Bluetooth. And if all that isn’t enough, the AV8805 includes voice control support for Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. The AV8805 continues to deliver an immersive theater-like experience and is a worthy update to the prior flagship Marantz AV8802/AV8802A processor.

Significantly redesigned analog output stage which eliminates the Renesas AVR LSI chips used in the
Design
Opening the door at the bottom of the AV8805 reveals a large LED display, which shows the current input source, processing mode, signal type, HDMI status, and zone and channel indicators. To the left of the display are buttons for directly controlling audio processing options such as Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. To the right of the display is a standard set of cursor buttons that allow for easy navigation of the AV8805 setup menus as well as its multi-media interface. Directly under the display are buttons for the various input modes, HDMI output selection, and zone selection. At the bottom of the AV8805 is the headphone jack, the microphone jack for Audyssey, an HDMI port, and a USB port. In the lower-right corner of the AV8805 is an auxiliary input, which provides analog audio inputs and a composite video input.
The rear panel of the AV8805 isn’t dramatically different from that of the AV8802. There are now seventeen balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA preamp outputs, which include four pair of height channels, one pair of which can be used for front wide channels, and two independent subwoofer channels.
The exterior appearance of the Marantz AV8805 remains unchanged, with the same clean lines and simple control interface. The front panel only has a power button and two large control knobs, one for volume control and the other for input selection. In the center of the AV8805 is the trademark porthole display that shows the current input selection and volume or tuner band and station. The porthole display is accented with a small blue ring which is illuminated when the AV8805 is on. The center portion of the front panel is still made from brushed aluminum, and the left and right side panels are made from curved resin which gives the processor its refined appearance.
