Marantz Melody M-CR612
Marantz Melody M-CR612 all-in-one mini system, network-compatible amplifier with built-in DAB+/FM tuners, designed for a compact and connected setup.
Description
The Marantz Melody M-CR612 is an all-in-one mini system combining amplification and network streaming functions. It brings together an amplifier, a tuner and wireless connectivity modules in a single unit, for a compact setup intended for everyday music listening.
The unit supports streaming via AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and HEOS Wi-Fi connectivity, giving access to a wide range of streaming services directly from a smartphone or tablet, without a cable or dedicated physical source. Amplification relies on four digital audio amplifiers, each dedicated to a channel, to power the connected speakers. Two optical digital inputs also allow a television to be connected to the system, so you can enjoy the system on the television's sound. The built-in DAB+ and FM tuners, along with TuneIn internet radio, round out the available sources without requiring any additional device.
This model is aimed at those looking for a single, centralised audio solution capable of covering radio listening, online streaming and television playback, in a space where the bulk of a traditional multi-component hi-fi setup is not desired.
What to check before buying used
The rear connectivity drawer (optical, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth aerials) should be tested to check that each source is correctly detected, as should the HEOS module update, which can sometimes be stuck on old firmware and require a reset. The buttons and dial on the front panel are worth checking for play and responsiveness, a sign of intensive use. Also check that AirPlay 2 pairing and TuneIn access work, as these services depend on servers that may change independently of the unit's physical condition.
