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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good all round unit. Perfect for our set up. Just the right dimensions to fit under the turntable shelf. Sounds better than we envisaged. Great service from Guildford branch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good old fashioned service Visited the Stockport store on Thursday afternoon and I honestly can't praise Adrian enough, he set up two different systems for me to compare. He took time to explain the differences and answered all my questions in a way a that was simple to follow and understand and there was no pressure to buy. The unit was delivered first thing on Friday morning and was up and running within 30 mins straIghtforward setup and what a sound it kicks out.running a Denon turntable through it and the difference between the Marantz and my old Teac is night and day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Melody XM-CR612 I bought this after my Sony Mini system packed up after 20 yrs of service, I previously had a Marantz system, CD player, Twinn tape deck a Tuner plus 100 watts per channel Amp and wall-mounted B&W speakers. So I thought I would go for a Marantz system once again. But after looking at the prices for system spec's that I had before I could not warrant spending all that money at my time of life, So I decided on another Mini system this time a Marantz Melody X M -CR612 and I purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 606 S2 Anniversary Edition Speakers a great set up for just under a £1000 which was my limit baring mind I've only had this set up a couple of days, I found it easy to set up the system Wi-Fi, Blue tooth etc, well the system sounds great and hopefully, and last as long as my old system did that will take me to a ripe old age of a 102.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent compact unit for a small setup I really like the Marantz Medlody X M-CR 612. I was looking for a small compact but powerful unit to pair with some Dali Spektor 2s to put in my new kitchen extension. My main setup includes a Marantz CD 6007 which I really like, and I liked the fact that the Melody X includes a CD player, hence looking at this unit. I also wanted to stream audio from my NAS, which has FLAC rips of my entire CD collection of over 7000 albums. So I really like the flexibility offered by the Melody. The CD player is solid and produces an impressive sound through the Dali Spektor 2s. The streaming via NAS also works well, as does the internet radio via TuneIn. The overall sound is excellent for the price point and size of the unit. Obviously nowhere near as good as my 'main' stereo setup, but as that is composed of Cambridge Audio separates and Maurdaunt Short floorstanders, it wouldn't be. Nevertheless, it is more than enough to fill the large ish space of the extension (almost 50 square metres) with music. I also find the HEOS app very good (I know it has it's detractors, but it works perfectly for me). My only minor gripe is that the unit takes a very long time to connect when streaming or listening to internet radio when first turning the unit on- about a minute. I'm a bit puzzled why this should be, but I guess I can live with it given the overall performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A little box of delight I am delighted that I bought this. It is surprisingly small and light but is packed with a great range of features. I was concerned that I would not be able to set it up - being 78 with minimum tech skills- but it took less than two hours, most of which time was connecting bare wire speakers. The online manual is one of the best I have ever seen, it even has a diagram of how to.place the remote control batteries! Once set up it is very easy to use - the remote works well and bluetooth connection is the fastest and easiest I have ever seen.The sound is superb on cd, bluetooth and streaming. I am.using Dali Oberon 1 speakers which are perfect for the small room I am using. Radio reception is very poor in my location, we have always needed a roof aerial but with internet radio this is not an issue. There is no built in bluetooth transmitter but I have tried a plug in transmitter which works amazingly well and enables me to use wireless headphones without the inconvenience of extra wires. I haven't yet worked through every feature as there are so many but everything I have tried so far has worked well. The service from Richer Sounds was brilliant, helpful, knowledgeable and speedy.
