Technics Delivers New All-in-One for Christmas
Technics has released its new OTTAVA SC-C70MK2 all-in-one just in time for Christmas this year.
Building upon the original SC-C70, the MK2 version is said to refine further the sound quality, capabilities, and design of its predecessor. Particular attention has been paid to the audio output.
The sleek and attractive premium look that is Technics' premium design philosophy has been upheld with the SC-C70MK2 available in a choice of silver or black, and complete with an aluminium top panel, louvred front grille and unique manual CD tray.
The music system is perfect for a living area, office, or even a holiday home, conveniently supporting a wide range of music sources including CD and radio as well as streaming services such as Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2 and Deezer. The SC-C70MK2 also works with Google Assistant.
The SC-C70MK2 is most certainly not just another “me too” Bluetooth speaker. Technics takes sound quality seriously, and this release features a new tweeter combined with an acoustic lens whose shape is optimised to deliver more expansive sound.
Like its predecessor, the SC-C70MK2 features a 2.1ch speaker system that includes a 12-cm subwoofer. The speaker system is driven by three digital amps known as 'JENO Engine', reproduce full-bodied sound from a compact unit. The load-adaptive amplifier technology (LAPC) developed by Technics ensures perfect alignment with the speakers. The system measures the phase and impedance properties of the integrated speakers and optimises the resulting sound output using the data it has obtained.
'Space Tune Auto' with an integrated microphone also allows for quick calibration and optimum performance in a range of room environments.
Aaron Waters, Product Marketing Manager – Audio and Video, Panasonic, told StereoNET:
The SC-C70MK2 all-in-one music system offers pure sound, convenient set up and streaming, and a design to match modern interiors. Arriving in time for Christmas, this is the perfect gift for the discerning music lover who wants to enjoy their music collection as well as audio from today's diverse sources.
Finally, with several Chromecast enabled speakers, a variety of music streaming services can be played in several rooms, or different music can be played from room to room.
The Technics SC-C70MK2 is available now and sells in Australia for $1,649 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
