About The Marantz CR612 Network CD Receiver
The moment you see the CR612, you'll know that this stylish system is pure refinement. It not only looks superb, it's also a superb performer. This elegant Network CD Receiver supports near limitless streaming platforms through AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and HEOS Wi-Fi connectivity. Connect your speakers to the CR612 through four high-efficiency digital audio amplifier channels and enjoy the most musical Marantz audio. With two optical digital inputs, you can even connect your television for an elevated entertainment experience. The built-in DAB+ and FM tuners as well as TuneIn Internet Radio complete the set of music sources. If versatility, music and sound quality matter to you, the CR612 ticks all the boxes.
The Most Musical Sound: Engineered and extensively tuned by a team drawing on more than 65 years of Hi-Fi expertise, the CR612 provides exceptional audio performance. Whether digital or analogue, you can enjoy the most musical sound from any source.
Featuring four channels of high-efficiency, low-distortion digital audio amplification, you can easily configure the CR612 to drive two pairs of loudspeakers with, and this is a first in our experience, independent volume control for each pair! Just imagine, one pair of speakers in the living room and another pair out on the deck both playing at different volumes of your choosing. So simple and so convenient. Or, configure the CR612 to drive a single pair of speakers with double the output power, with the option to use all four channels to connect a pair of audiophile bi-amp compatible speakers.
Elegant Design & Audiophile Construction: The CR612 combines refined elegance and thoughtful design into a compact Network CD Receiver. Styled in a high-gloss black or a classic silver-gold finish, the CR612 offers a beautiful look to complement its superb performance. Deluxe vertical lighting accents on the front panel give that extra touch of quality. Designed with the modern audiophile in mind and crafted with superior materials that elevate audio quality, the CR612 is fully optimized with passive and active components and compact signal paths designed to reduce distortion and provide the best audio performance possible.
Unlimited Music Sources: It does not stop with CD and FM/DAB+ radio playback. Thanks to built-in HEOS technology, you can enjoy your favourite digital music through a simple to use, yet powerful, App experience. Enjoy music from Spotify, TuneIn Internet Radio, Sound Cloud, Tidal, Deezer or your local music library. With additional HEOS components like the HEOS speaker range or other HEOS-capable receivers, easily play all of your music in one room or many. AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth let you easily stream music and app content directly from your smartphone.
Better Audio Quality than a Soundbar: Connect your digital TV or cable/satellite set-top-box and a Blu-ray or DVD player to either of the two digital audio inputs to enjoy full dynamic range digital audio playback of your favourite movies and TV shows. The CR612 can automatically wake when sensing an audio signal from the television, and can be programmed to work with your TV's remote for volume, mute and source selection.
Supports Voice Control: Enjoy effortless voice control and total flexibility from the leading voice agents. Speak commands with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri. Ask to play your favourite music, turn the volume up, skip to the next track, switch inputs and more. Switch between voice agents, or pick a favourite to use — you're in control. Functionality varies by voice agent.
More than 65 Years of Audiophile Heritage: Founded in 1953, Marantz has a long and rich history of designing audiophile components embraced by music lovers and critical listeners around the world. Because music matters so much in our lives, the CR612 carries on the long Marantz tradition of delivering a superlative music listening experience.
