Quality sound from a class-leading player
As you'd expect from this highly respected hi-fi company, the Marantz MCR511 is a superior sounding mini system. A higher than average 50 watts (at 6 ohms) per channel gives it greater punch and depth of bass than many of its rivals. Added to this, the digital amplification uses less power than a conventional amplifier giving you the best of both worlds.
Stylish simplicity
Compact and curvaceous, the MCR511 is stylish yet unobtrusive. A new acrylic top with anti-scratch surface keeps the look fresh and unique. For a sleek appearance, Marantz have limited the button count to a minimum. You can control the Melody Stream via the supplied remote control or by an app for your Smartphone (Apple or Android).
One very neat system that streams all your music and sounds more powerful than you might expect; the Marantz MCR511 is a talented one-box solution.
