Marantz M-CR610

Marantz M-CR610 is an all-in-one Hi-Fi system.

Convenient control from tablet and smartphone

The manufacturer has created a special application to control the system using Android and iOS gadgets (via Wi-Fi). According to reviews, it is very convenient, as it allows, for example, to enter the name of a song, find it and start playing. I am also pleased that the M-CR610 interface is Russified. In general, the control is quite convenient, and only a non-standard volume control on the case causes dissatisfaction among users.

Music from the web

Marantz plays music from CDs, USB sticks and Apple gadgets. When connected to the Internet, gives you access to vTuner online radio and music services (such as Spotify and last.fm). You can connect to the Internet not only via Ethernet, but also via Wi-Fi. You can also listen to analogue (FM) and digital (DAB) radio stations.

Find good companions

The M-CR610, like other micro systems from the Melody series, has a built-in amplifier. It has two pairs of outputs for acoustics and a power of 2x60 watts. Therefore, it can sound two medium-sized rooms. The player has a comfortable sound and is well suited for calm music.

For previous models, the manufacturer offered branded acoustics, and for the M-CR610, the choice fell on the buyer himself. The Marantz amplifier is compatible with speakers with an impedance of 6-8 ohms, and is designed for conventional or bi-amping (Bi-Amping) connection. According to reviews of this model, it pairs well with entry-level bookshelf Hi-Fi speakers (like the KEF Q300 and Dali Lektor 2). If there is a shortage of low frequencies, you can connect an active subwoofer — the player is specially equipped with an appropriate output.

The advantage of the M-CR610 over other players is the presence of a built-in amplifier. Therefore, Marantz will save you money on the purchase of a separate amplifier.
