The Marantz Melody X is a powerful and very complete multiroom hi-fi system that easily finds a place in the living room or bedroom due to its compact design. This hi-fi system from Marantz is intended for those who have a little less space, but do not want to make concessions on functionality, streaming capabilities and sound quality.
The M-CR612 features CD player, FM/DAB+ tuner with RDS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and HEOS multiroom streaming technology. The amplifier has an analog line input to which you can connect a record player, for example. Digitally, there are two optical (Toslink) inputs to which you can connect a game console and television. Here the Melody X automatically switches to the optical input where a digital signal is offered. The Melody X comes with a handy "learning remote" so that the television can also be operated with this remote control. The Melody X also has its own app and supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri. So it doesn't matter how you want to control the Melody X. You get to choose it yourself.
Marantz has equipped the M-CR612 with no fewer than four energy-efficient Class D amplifiers with an output power of 30 watts per channel that allow you to drive two speaker groups. Hereby, the volume of both speaker pairs can be controlled independently. The true music lover will appreciate the bi-amp capability where the bass and treble of some speakers can each be driven by a separate amplifier. To adjust the timbre to your own taste, this Melody X has a tone control for the bass and treble. Want a more powerful and deeper continuous low, you can also easily connect an active subwoofer.
The USB-A input on the back of the Melody X lets you send in digital music streams from a PC or laptop. The Melody X plays gapless WAV, FLAC, AIFF, ALAC and DSD files. In doing so, it can handle high-res PCM music formats up to 24bit-192kHz and DSD up to 5.6 MHz. The Melody X has Wi-Fi and an RJ45 network connection that allows the music system to stream music via the HEOS app from various online streaming sources such as Spotify, TuneIn Internet Radio, Soundcloud, Tidal, Napster, Deezer or your own music from a music server. Want to stream music from another favorite app? No problem. Combined with a smartphone, you can send virtually any digital stream to the Marantz wirelessly via Bluetooth.
If you are looking for a complete multiroom hi-fi system to which you can connect both analog and digital sources and also send digital streams wirelessly via HEOS, Bluetooth and AirPlay, then this Marantz Melody (M-CR612) is the ultimate music system for you.
