Marantz has introduced the MCR 60n and MCR 60n DAB (available in Europe only), a new generation of compact all-in-one hi-fi systems. The new MCR 60n combines CD playback, network streaming, HDMI eARC compatibility, turntable connectivity, and premium amplification.
Its compact footprint makes it equally at home in a dedicated listening room, home office, bedroom or living room, while two refined finishes, in Matte Black and Marantz Champagne Gold (not available in North America), allow it to complement a wide variety of interiors and loudspeaker designs.
Its new power supply delivers greater current capability and increased amplifier headroom compared to older models, resulting in improved dynamics, stronger bass performance, and greater control across a wider range of loudspeakers. Output power has been increased to 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms, providing a substantial performance improvement over its predecessor while maintaining the warm, detailed, and emotionally engaging Marantz sound signature.
With four channels of amplification, including Bi-Amp, Parallel Bridge-Tied Load (BTL), and dual speaker outputs, the MCR 60n allows users to optimize performance for different loudspeaker systems, or even power two independent listening zones from a single compact amplifier.
The addition of HDMI eARC allows seamless integration with modern televisions, enabling high-quality stereo playback of TV sound while supporting HDMI-CEC volume control and Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital Plus decoding. For vinyl enthusiasts, a newly integrated MM phono stage makes connecting a turntable effortless, while the precision-engineered front-loading CD mechanism continues Marantz’s longstanding tradition of exceptional compact disc playback.
High-resolution music streaming is equally comprehensive, supporting PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit, DSD up to 11.2MHz, all powered by the latest HEOS networking platform, which allows for a faster, more intuitive setup experience together with access to streaming services, internet radio and whole-home multi-room audio. Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz Connect are also supported, as is AirPlay2 and Roon Ready.
Bluetooth functionality has also been significantly expanded, supporting both receive and transmit modes, meaning you can not only send music via Bluetooth from your phone, but also use your wireless headphones to listen to music or TV content late at night.
A configurable subwoofer output with adjustable crossover settings allows precise low-frequency integration, while Dirac Live Room Correction is available as an optional upgrade for stereo playback.
Variable audio outputs also allow MCR 60n to function as a streaming preamplifier, making it equally suitable for driving active loudspeakers or integrating with existing Marantz components and vintage Hi-Fi systems. An Ethernet network port, USB input, optical digital input, and DAB tuner (not applicable outside European markets) round out the specification.
The all-new Marantz MCR 60n ($1000) and MCR 60n DAB (Europe only – €900 | £800) will be available from authorized Marantz retailers and Marantz.com starting September 15, 2026.
