Along with the main Audyssey system there are a couple of extra features that come with it with one being the Dynamic EQ that keeps the dynamic levels as well as clarity even at low volume while the second is Dynamic Volume that balances sudden volume spikes when there are shifts between TV programs and commercials. This trio of systems is the most basic version you will find in any Marantz AV receiver but it is enough for some basic calibration. Unfortunately one thing we are missing here is the Audyssey MultEQ Editor App that can be used with higher end models for more thorough calibrations as it is not supported in the NR1510. Please keep in mind that in home theater setups, once you go past 2.0 or 2.1 stereo, and make use of the center channel, the center speaker becomes the most important and you may want to prioritize the quality of it compared to the other speakers.

You'll want to prioritize voice clarity in that speaker. As well as the six HDMI inputs, the NR1510 has a wide range of connectivity. Both optical and coaxial digital inputs are ideal for connecting older devices or upgrading the sound from a compatible CD/Network player. Three analogue inputs are perfect for Hi-Fi components, with the dedicated MM phono input ideal for plugging in a turntable. One of the main reasons the NR1510 is sought after is due to its slim, low-profile design that measures just 4.1 inches tall. Another area where not much have changed is in its streaming capabilities. As such the NR1510 is capable of streaming audio from a network drive or NAS server that you may have connected in your local network or from the internet from one of the available streaming services that include Internet Radio, Spotify, Napster, Pandora, SiriusXM, Tidal and Deezer meaning there is something for almost everybody. And with the unit’s wired and wireless capabilities you can choose the best way that suits your needs. Lastly you can stream audio also through the Airplay app from Apple devices with the use of Bluetooth.
