All your music in one place
Featuring wi-fi, Bluetooth, Internet radio, HEOS and a huge range of built-in music services, the Melody X has you covered for streaming music. It goes much further, though. A CD player lets you keep on spinning your favourite discs. DAB and FM tuners let you listen off air. Finally, a wide collection of digital and analogue inputs make connecting up your other music sources a cinch.
Huge range of streaming options – including Apple AirPlay 2
When it comes to streaming music your way, the Melody X is ahead of the game. Apple AirPlay 2 is now standard and Amazon Prime Music, Spotify (Premium account required for full features), TIDAL, Napster and Deezer are all on board. There’s also TuneIn for Internet radio and Bluetooth music streaming.
Works with Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth
AirPlay 2 takes this popular wireless streaming format and makes it better. Controllable by simply asking Siri or using your Apple device, AirPlay 2 lets you effortlessly stream music and podcasts around your home – and all in perfect sync. Alternatively, use the Bluetooth connection for a direct stream from your smartphone or other device.
HEOS – multi-room magic
HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the Melody X is ready to go as a single ‘zone’ without any further adaptors.
For music, just ask
With support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri, the Melody X has your request covered. Simply add an Alexa or Google Home device or use Apple AirPlay for effortless voice control of the basic functions.
Plays CDs
As a further bonus, the Melody X MCR612 features a built-in CD player. Marantz make some of the best CD players on the market, so it's little surprise to find this one plays CDs to a very high standard. For added flexibility, it will also play MP3 and WMA music files stored on disc.
DAB FM radio
Another very handy feature is the built in DAB/FM tuner radio. A choice of DAB and FM gives you access to a wide range of local and national stations. For ease of use, RDS (Radio Data System) is included on the FM tuner.
Connect your TV and games console - with two digital inputs
At the back of this versatile system you'll find two optical digital inputs and one RCA phono analogue pair. Perfect for connecting sources such as your TV, games console or set-top box, the Melody X improves the sound of much more than just your music. As a further bonus, it even works with your TV’s remote control – perfect for adjusting the volume or mute without having to use two remotes.
Twin speaker outputs with individual volume
For music in more than one room, the Melody X comes with speaker A/B outputs. With individual volume control for the second set of speakers, you can pump up the volume in your main room while keeping it at a lower level in the other - or vice versa.
Stylish simplicity
Compact and curvaceous, the Melody X is stylish yet not intrusive. For a sleek appearance, Marantz have limited the button count to a minimum. You can control the Melody X via the supplied remote control or by an app for your Smartphone (Apple or Android).
Hear all your music, at its best, with the Marantz Melody X MCR612.

Could not ask for more
A couple of weeks ago I went to richer sounds Romford, I was served by Joel, I explained that I was looking for and after listening to his advice and sampling the equipment I made the purchase. The whole process was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the staff and shop.

Fantastic buy.
You often read about "great performance for the price " but this unit must be the best value for money to date. I have replaced an Arcam Solo with a Marantz Melody and couldn't be more impressed with the comparable performance, in fact at lower volumes I would say it is superior.

Superb bit of kit !
The ability of the volume for the two channels to operate independently was essential for us to have music inside and out. They dynamic boost giving depth to the ceiling speakers in the house. Optical feed from the TV and bluetooth/HEOS for the music; job done !

Absolutely Brilliant !
The product is Terrific! Both Sam And Martin really helpfully.
I went to Solihull branch to buy a cheaper Denon product but was advised that the Marantz had far more features and was a better system.
I’m so glad that these boys know what their selling and give sound advise that’s why I’ve been shopping with them for over 20 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else !
Experience and knowledge from a supplier is worth its weight in GOLD !
Thankyou SAM & MARTIN.

Great looking model
Very happy so far. Excellent sound using my existing Wharfdale speakers. Easy to set up and use with the remote. Great to have a CD, digital radio and streaming functions. Operates on home wi fi and so can use any of streaming platforms Spotify, Tidal etc etc to play music through mobile. Very helpful service from Bristol branch. Still working through downloaded manual to maximise use.

Super features, everything in one box
Having looked long and hard the Marantz M-CR612 was perfect for my application. Does everything I need. Bluetooth, streaming, radio, CD player, USB connection. It is an 'all-in one' unit and compact. Sounds pretty good too, I was slightly concerned regarding it's Class D amplification mode but there was no need to worry. If you're looking for something that's compact and does just about everything in one box then this covers it, and at a very reasonable price. Delighted.

Too old to have one from
Mrantz-Melody XM-612 (Silver/Gold)
Having had advice from Jack the store manager and further guidance from Will his deputy,I purchased this item and have been highly satisfied with its performance.Being an elderly person and lacking the skills to explore its full potential, I somewhat think it can offer more, but nevertheless I am well satisfied. Full marks for the Hanley store.
