“There’s plenty of musical information on offer, no matter what source you may select, while the gamut of features and connectivity options should satisfy, I reckon, everyone’s needs and requirements. The build quality of this Technics box is very good, indeed…. [The SC-C70MK2] stereo system is highly recommended. It is, as the saying goes, a winner.”

“There was a relatively neutral presentation with enough space in the mids to allow the ear to easily pick up the emotive delivery from the vocal and the organ riffs. Bass, meanwhile, was tight and focused enough to allow the bass guitar to flow easily, without being muddled or veiling other detail on the track. In short, this was a highly entertaining track from a highly entertaining stereo system…. I was surprised how genuinely good [the SC-C70MK2] was.”

New Speaker Units and Acoustic Lens

The 3.15-inch woofer units offer significantly better basic characteristics as a result of various improvements made, such as the reduced weight of the voice coil, enhanced airflow and increased rigidity of the diaphragm. The woofer provides superb response and sound clarity to reproduce mid- and high-frequency sound comfortable to the ear. The high-res-ready 2-cm dome tweeter unit features a lighter silk diaphragm to provide beautiful lingering sound. What’s more, the acoustic lens is optimized for the new tweeter shape and enhances the expansiveness of reproduced sound.

Three JENO Engines and Space Tune

In order to faithfully reproduce the information of rich sounds with the 2.1-channel configuration, three JENO Engine full digital amplifier units are included. In addition to utilizing the excellent processing capacity of the three units and faithfully driving the left and right channels and subwoofer, Space Tune, which optimizes the sound quality depending on the installation status, is also onboard. This function measures test tones played through a mic built into the SC-C70MK2 to analyze the distance to walls and the effect of reflections. It then automatically optimizes the sound field. Space Tune comes with three presets (Free, Near the Wall, and Near the Corner) for easy setting, and uses a Technics Audio Center app to precisely adjust the sound quality to the listening position. You can also measure room acoustic conditions by using the microphone integrated in an iOS device.

Diversity and Connectivity

With built-in Chromecast speakers, the variety of music streaming services can be played in several rooms, or different music can be played from room to room. In addition, if you use Technics Audio Center app and have another app compatible Technics devices, you can also enjoy other music sources in multi-room settings. Up to nine presets can be set on the main unit, making it possible to listen to your favorite music without even starting up an app.
