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.

Great Unit
As a professional musician I was looking for something that sounded good and had lost of functionality. This system does not disappoint. I would also like to give Karl a mention who was excellent and pointed me in the right direction and for his patience while I listened to other systems.

Disappointed
Had this a couple of years now and it is not good. The streaming was hit and miss since it was new and now no longer works, the usb at the rear never worked, the one at the front did for a while but now no longer works. The CD player worked for about 18 months and now doesn't recognize any discs. The the cost you would expect something that works for more that 2 years.

Great All in One system
I bought this a week ago. Linked it to my Monitor Audio Radius 90 and REL TZero Mk3 subwoofer. It sounds fantastic and delivers all my audio needs in one box. I love it!

Maranta Melody X
I’ve been wanting one these for a while and two weeks ago purchased one with some Q Acoustic speakers the Preston Branch. So far I’m over the moon with the whole setup, the sound quality is much better than I expected but the surprise was the bass out the 3010 speakers, Richer sounds gave really good service from start to finish.

Does everything you need for music streaming!
Bought this month. Does everything we need for music streaming and also has a CD. Great advice from the York staff. Best price and long guarantee. Nothing to not like. Time for us to have some Richer Sounds at great value pricing. Thank you.

For the money - best hi-res multi stream unit
So far (1 month) this unit has been a revelation. In order of excellence; Sound - Both hi-res cd and lossless usb. Function - built in wi-fi, usb and most streaming apps. Build - solid. Looks - beautiful. I use this unit in the bedroom to stream lossless WAV files from my MacBook through my Dali speakers and listen to the internet radio on occasion. If I were to try and find fault it would be the sometimes fiddly set-up of the internet radio but that's really being critical.
