MARANTZ - M-CR603 SYSTEM

Powerful and Compact - Put Great Sound in Any Room

Looking for great sound in your bedroom, kitchen, den, etc… the M-CR603 is an extremely versatile product that easily adapts to numerous environments. A great sounding, very compact, surprisingly capable device, the M-CR603 is the perfect second (or third) system solution. The best part is, the M-CR603 actually does sound very good and it's modestly priced. Small enough to be unobtrusive, flexible enough to be indispensable and powerful enough to be enjoyable, the M-CR603 deserves a place in every home.

"[the M-CR603] will reward you with an detailed, brilliantly judged delivery that’s brimming with energy...punchy precision and pacey rhythmic ability, while voices and instruments are distinctly rendered and placed."
-- What Hifi?

The M-CR603 has a lot of technology stuffed into its modest waistline. A full function stereo receiver, the M-CR603 has built-in CD player, internet radio, network access to your music files and bluetooth capability with the optional RX-101 adapter.

There are so many ways to connect to the M-CR603 they actually get their own section! Starting with the basics, the M-CR603 has two pairs of analog RCA inputs on the rear and a stereo mini-jack input on the front. A Tos-link digital input and an ethernet connection on the rear, a USB input on the front. There's also an M-XPort input on the rear for connecting the RX-101 bluetooth adapter. For outputs, the M-CR603 includes a stereo Aux out, subwoofer output and two pairs of binding posts.

"The presentation here is consistently fast, well-weighted and very open and detailed – in fact, very identifiably Marantz. The sound is above all extremely musical...the system gets out of the way of the music, allowing you to listen to the performance."
-- Andrew Everard, Gramophone

The M-CR603 is a very capable integrated amp, with four amp channels which can be configured for a number of ingenious uses; the least imaginative is of course, A+B speakers. However, the M-CR603 can also be used to bi-amp a pair of speakers, delivering 25WPC in this configuration, or the M-CR603 can be configured to deliver 50WPC to a single pair of speakers. Very flexible.

"True to Marantz's reputation, it's a great device that does pretty much everything you'd want it to."
