Marantz MCR 60n - Black

Description

A Complete Hi-Fi System in a Lifestyle Format

The Marantz MCR 60n represents Marantz's consolidated approach to high-fidelity playback. Instead of requiring a separate network streamer, digital-to-analog converter, CD player, and integrated amplifier, this unit houses all of these functions within a single chassis just 280 mm wide and 111 mm tall. Engineered to disappear on a bookshelf, desk, or console, it delivers the performance typically expected from standard full-width separates. By minimizing the signal path and eliminating interconnect cables, the all-in-one architecture preserves signal purity from source to speaker.

2 × 65 W amplification with Speaker A/B, bi-amping and powered multi-room

The amplification stage delivers 2 × 65 W into 4 Ω in stereo mode (Speaker A/B with independent volume per pair), or 4 × 33 W in 4-channel mode for bi-amplification or to power a pair of speakers in a second room. Parallel BTL mode combines two channels to double the output per side for demanding loudspeakers. The circuitry is tuned by the Marantz Sound Masters to preserve the brand's signature sound — warm, spacious, detailed — with the current reserves needed to handle the most demanding dynamic passages.

HEOS platform, Roon Ready, and high-resolution PCM 384/32 + DSD 11.2

Network playback is handled by the built-in HEOS platform: Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music, Pandora, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and TuneIn Internet Radio are all accessible via the dedicated HEOS app. The MCR 60n is also Roon Ready certified for integration into a Roon ecosystem. It handles high-resolution files up to PCM 384 kHz / 32-bit and DSD 11.2 MHz, with gapless playback for FLAC, WAV, and DSD. The Dirac Live room correction module is available as an optional upgrade to calibrate the in-room response.

Complete connectivity: HDMI eARC, MM phono, USB-A audio, optical, subwoofer output

The rear panel accommodates: HDMI eARC/ARC to connect a TV (volume and power sync); a TOSLINK optical input; a rear USB-A input to play directly from a USB drive or DAC (PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD 11.2); an MM phono RCA input with ground terminal; a line-level RCA auxiliary input; an analog audio output; a main pre-out assignable as AUX; a headphone output; and a dedicated subwoofer pre-out. Two pairs of screw-type speaker terminals (Speaker A/B) accept a 4 to 16 Ω load. Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth RX/TX (transmission to Bluetooth headphones supported) round out the wireless connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does this model compare to the Marantz MODEL 60n and MODEL 40n?

All three models share the HEOS platform, Roon Ready certification, and Marantz sonic signature. The MODEL 60n and MODEL 40n are full-width network amplifiers (standard rack-component footprint) with more powerful amplification and a broader input array. The MCR 60n trades that maximum output and physical scale for extreme placement flexibility (280 × 303 × 111 mm, 4.2 kg) and adds a built-in CD player and an FM/AM tuner that are not present on the MODEL 60n/40n. It's the pick for secondary rooms, home offices, and spaces where a dedicated hi-fi rack is impractical.

Can I connect my turntable directly?

Yes, if your turntable uses a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge. The MCR 60n integrates an MM phono preamplifier with a ground terminal. Plug the turntable's RCA cables directly into the Phono input on the rear of the MCR 60n — no separate phono preamp required. For a moving-coil (MC) cartridge, you would need to add an external MC preamplifier.

Can I use it to improve TV audio?

Yes. The HDMI eARC/ARC input connects directly to your TV's HDMI ARC/eARC output. TV audio is then routed to the amplification stage and your loudspeakers, with volume and power sync via the TV remote. It's an immediate upgrade over a TV's built-in speakers, especially in smaller rooms. A TOSLINK optical input is also available for older TVs.

Can I add a subwoofer?

Yes, a dedicated subwoofer pre-out lets you connect an external powered subwoofer. This offloads the deep bass from the main speakers and adds the physical bass presence that a compact system alone cannot provide — particularly relevant for home cinema or to complement bookshelf speakers in a medium-to-large room.
