Marantz NR series AV Surround Receiver

Marantz is a prestigious name in the world of high-fidelity audio, celebrated for its 'Marantz Sound' characterized by warmth and detail. The brand was founded in the early 1950s by Saul Marantz in New York, USA. Over the decades, the brand has transitioned through several ownership structures, reflecting the global nature of the audio industry.

In recent history, Marantz became a cornerstone of Sound United, a company that also managed other iconic brands like Denon. However, as of 2022 and moving into the future, Marantz is part of Masimo Corporation, a global technology firm that acquired Sound United. This acquisition has integrated Marantz into a larger portfolio focused on both consumer technology and professional health monitoring.

While the brand's heritage is American and its high-end 'Reference Series' is often crafted at the Shirakawa Audio Works in Japan, the mass-market AV receivers like the NR series shown in the image are primarily manufactured in modern facilities in Vietnam and China to ensure global distribution and competitive positioning.
