About the Marantz SR7012

byDeia Z.,
Crutchfield expert since 2010

First-class home theater features and performance

The Marantz SR7012 combines high-end amplifier technology and advanced sound processing with immersive video and surround sound for a thrilling home theater experience.

This powerful nine-channel receiver offers full support for 4K Ultra HD video, and even upscales HD and standard definition video to 4K resolution. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D put you in the middle of the action with realistic, multidimensional surround sound. Stream music from different sources and enjoy high-resolution music in your living room — or in any room of your house.

Make the most of every music source

The SR7012 offers playback of high-resolution audio formats from a networked computer or USB thumb drive. Special processing cleans up lower-resolution audio formats, letting you get the most out of the ample streaming music choices you get through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and Apple® AirPlay®.

Streamline your music with HEOS

Built-in HEOS technology lets you access all your music — from your personal library, internet radio, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL — through the SR7012.

This receiver can be easily integrated into a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each room's sound independently with the free HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home, or listen to something different in each room.

Customizable amp configurations let you set up the system you want

The SR7012's 9-channel amplifier gives you extra flexibility to expand your system into other rooms of your house. In your living room, you can set up a 7.1-channel surround sound system, or a 5.1.2-channel Atmos system with a pair of upward-firing or overhead speakers. That leaves you with two amplifier channels you can reassign to power a set of speakers outdoors or in another room.

If you're happy with a 5.1-channel system in your home theater, this receiver can power speakers in two additional zones. Or the extra height channels can be used to bi-amp a pair of compatible front speakers for more powerful sound.

A "Zone 2" HDMI output lets you watch video from two separate sources in your living room and a second room.

    In stock

    There’s something undeniably magnetic about vintage audio gear. The tactile weight of milled aluminum knobs, the warm glow of dial lamps, and—above all—the rich, analog sound that today’s sterile streaming boxes can’t quite replicate. But time is merciless: capacitors dry out, switches oxidize, and those gorgeous walnut cabinets lose their sheen. That’s where the art (and science) of our vintage audio refurbishment comes in.

    Why Vintage Audio Still Matters

    In the golden era of hi-fi—roughly the mid-1960s through the early 1980s—companies like Marantz, McIntosh, Pioneer, Sansui, and Technics were engaged in an arms race of build quality. This was before cost-cutting plastics and disposable designs; amplifiers were over-engineered, receivers were works of art, and turntables were precision instruments.

    Owning one wasn’t just about sound; it was about status and permanence. These machines were built to last a lifetime—or two. The irony? Decades later, they often do, provided they’re given the care they deserve.

    The Philosophy of Refurbishment

    Refurbishment is not just about fixing; it’s about preserving authenticity while ensuring reliability. The goal is to keep that lush, analog character alive without compromising safety or sound quality.

    Some enthusiasts chase museum-level originality—keeping every factory component in place. Others opt for sympathetic modernization, upgrading parts that never existed in the ’70s to improve performance. Both approaches can be valid; it depends on your vision.

    The Turntable Store refurbishing process.. step by step

    Step 1: The Initial Encounter

    When we first meet a 40-year-old amplifier, we resist the urge to plug it in right away. That dusty Marantz 2270 might look gorgeous, but old electrolytics and brittle insulation can short instantly under full voltage.

    Instead:

    • We inspect for corrosion, burnt resistors, and leaking capacitors.
    • We use a Variac (variable transformer) to bring up voltage slowly, reforming capacitors rather than shocking them back to life.
    • We check fuses—not just for continuity but for correct ratings.

    Tip: A faint musty smell? That’s often the scent of old phenolic boards, not trouble. But a burnt smell? That’s trouble.


    Step 2: Deep Cleaning & Control Detox

    Dust is the enemy of good sound, that is why we clean the interior carefully with compressed air and a soft brush.

    The real magic comes with switches and potentiometers. Over decades, oxidation builds up, causing scratchy controls and dropouts. A deep contact clean in each pot and switch, followed by vigorous cycling, often restores silky-smooth operation.

    Step 3: Electrical Resurrection

    This is where science meets art:

    • Capacitors: Electrolytic caps often need some attention. We replace out-of-spec caps with high-quality modern equivalents (Nichicon, Panasonic), avoiding over-capacitance unless the power supply can handle it.
    • Resistors: Carbon comp resistors drift over decades. Measure and replace out-of-spec parts.
    • Transistors: Certain vintage transistors (e.g., 2SC458) are notorious for noise. We do swap defective ones for modern low-noise equivalents.
    • Relays & Lamps: Speaker relays oxidize; replace or clean contacts. Dial lamps? Upgrade to warm LEDs for a factory glow without the heat.


    Step 4: Cosmetic Glory

    Refinishing the walnut cabinet can transform a unit. We do use real wood oil or Danish oil, not polyurethane. We clean the glass dial carefully; those silkscreened letters are fragile.

    Knobs? We polish with metal cleaner, but never use abrasives on anodized aluminum.

    Faceplate lettering? We avoid harsh chemicals—just mild soap and a microfiber cloth.


    Step 5: Calibration & Sonic Check

    After the repair and cleaning, it’s time to dial in the performance:

    • We do adjust bias and DC offset on amplifiers for stable operation.
    • On turntables, we re-lube bearings, replace belts, and check speed accuracy.
    • On Cassette Decks and Reel to Reels, we replace belts ( if needed ), we clean and demagnetize the heads before the alignment process ( a must ! ) 

    When done right, the result is astonishing: a sound that breathes—liquid mids, velvet highs, and bass with a tactile presence that modern gear rarely matches.


    Our promise for Audiophile-Level Results

    • We Avoid Cheap Parts: That $5 eBay capacitor kit? Hard pass. We use reputable brands.
    • We Don’t Over-Polish: Patina is part of the charm. We aim for “well-loved,” not “plastic surgery.”
    • We Upgrade Discreetly: If we must modernize (like adding gold-plated RCA jacks), we keep it tasteful and reversible.


    Why It’s Worth It

    The payoff isn’t just sonic—it’s emotional. Restoring a 1970s Marantz or Sansui is like bringing a classic car back to life. Every glowing dial lamp, every smooth rotation of a volume knob, connects you to an era when music mattered enough to build machines like this.

    And when you drop the needle on your favorite record and hear that warm, enveloping sound, you’ll know: this wasn’t just a repair. It was a resurrection.
