JBL MA710 – 7.2 Channel 8K Network AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos

About the JBL MA710

Make the move to Dolby Atmos

BL’s MA710 receiver is a great way to step up to Dolby Atmos from a basic five-channel surround sound system. Its seven channels of amplification support an immersive Dolby Atmos/DTS:X® surround sound setup including dedicated height-channel speakers. And with state-of-the-art 8K video compatibility, you can be sure your that movies will look as detailed as they sound. Or you can keep the five-channel setup and use the additional two channels to play music in multiple rooms — “Party” mode sends stereo sound from your main zone to speakers in a separate room.

Fine-tune your room

JBL’s EZ Set EQ calibration software offers a simple way to optimize sound for your room. Download the EZ Set EQ app (available for Android™ and iOS®) and follow the step-by-step instructions. The built-in microphone of your iOS device can be used for calibration, but for Android users, JBL recommends using a third-party microphone (sold separately) for best results.

Streaming music made easy

This receiver offers plenty of ways to get your music going. It supports streaming through Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Bluetooth®, Spotify Connect®, and TIDAL Connect. It supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) too, which lets you access high-res files stored on your home network. You can select streaming sources through the free JBL Premium Audio remote app (available on Android and iOS). The app also lets you use your phone as a Wi-Fi remote control.
