The Melody X expands your audio collection with its outstanding performance. Whether digital or analogue, enjoy the most musical sound - regardless of the source. Powerful and versatile The Melody X features four high-efficiency channels and digital audio amplification with low distortion, allowing you to easily drive two pairs of speakers, individually controlling the volume for each pair. Alternatively, you can only operate a pair of speakers in audiophile bi-amping mode or in unique PBTL mode. The double output power per channel is available. The Melody X is also compatible with almost any speaker model on the market, including adult floor speakers and 4 ohm models. Elegant design and audiophile construction. The Melody X brings sophisticated elegance and thoughtful design into one compact network CD receiver. In stylish high-gloss black or in classic silver gold, the Melody X is always a real eye-catcher. Best entertainment experience. Unlimited music sources More than playing CD and FM/DAB+ radio: Thanks to the integrated HEOS technology, you can control your favourite digital music tracks via a convenient app. Enjoy music from Spotify, TuneIn Internet Radio, Sound Cloud, Tidal, Napster, Deezer or from your local music file libraries. With other HEOS components, such as HEOS enabled speakers and receivers, you can play your music in one or even in several rooms. Better audio quality than a sound bar. Connect your digital TV or Your set-top box (for cable or satellite TV) and a Blu-ray or DVD player to one of the two digital audio inputs and enjoy the full dynamic range of digital audio playback with your favourite movies and TV shows. The Melody X automatically turns on as soon as it receives an audio signal from the TV. It can also be programmed to control volume, mute, or input selection via the TV remote control. Supports most common voice agents Control the Melody X via voice commands. You can choose between the most common voice assistants, such as desertcart Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Siri. By voice command, you play your favourite music tracks, set louder, jump to the next track or switch the music source. You can switch between the different language agents or select a specific one. The respective range of functions depends on the individual voice assistant. Review: Happy - Very happy with it Review: Excellent product - Sound quality top drawer. Can use 2 sets of speakers, which is the main benefit over the much cheaper Denon models. Nice and small, fits inside half of an Ikea Kallax cube. 2 optical inputs that activate automatically when the device is connected. Switches on automatically when TV is turned on (connected by optical cable). Standby power consumption could be better at about 3w. Remote is good quality but far too big and complicated. The most useful buttons aren't the biggest ones. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - The most musical sound – the Hi-Fi system with CD player delivers 2 Γ— 60 W (at 6 Ohm) or 4 Γ— 30 W for a speaker A/B configuration and makes your music experiences unforgettable.
