The Network CD Receiver SA-C600 brings you a wealth of music content with a single device—everything from records, CDs, and radio to music streaming and more besides—with a luxurious audio environment courtesy of Technics’ superior sound engineering.

Full Digital Amp, JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimisation)

The SA-C600 uses a fully digital amplifier incorporating Technics’ renowned digital audio technology. Its digital transmission system processes signals fully digitally in all stages from input to output. Compared to analogue transmission, this system is less susceptible to signal degradation caused by external noise, ensuring more precise signal transmission. Accurate signal processing not only delivers high-resolution digital audio but also maintains the soft texture inherent in analogue recordings.

Twin Power Supply Circuit System

The design of the power supply is critical in audio systems containing CD players, amplifiers, digital circuits, and other components. To eliminate adverse effects on the amplifier, the SA-C600 is designed with a dedicated power supply for the amplifier circuits that is independent from all other circuits, delivering power to the two independent transformers. For maximum efficiency, the wiring connections between the two dedicated transformers and the amplifier circuits are also optimised for noise reduction.

Clean Powered Clock Generator

To improve noise reduction and achieve superb sound image localisation, the power supply for the clock circuit of the JENO Engine utilises the same noise suppression circuit employed in our flagship turntable model, the Technics SL-1000R.

Built-in Phono Equaliser compatible with MM Cartridge

The built-in phono equaliser supports MM cartridges. The phono equaliser uses a dedicated power supply and is equipped with a power supply circuit that is different from the control circuit for improved noise reduction. The equaliser circuit also features a shielded construction to shut out the effects of external noise and allows for signal amplification without any loss of fidelity.

Space Tune™

The SA-C600 is equipped with a Space Tune function that enables the adjustment of sound to suit the environment and location of the unit so that anyone can enjoy superb music reproduction. By using the Technics Audio Centre* app for tablets and smartphones or by selecting one of the four presets on the main unit—Free, Wall, Corner and Shelf—the user can achieve the most suitable sound reproduction for their specific acoustic environment.

The L/R Custom feature allows users to enter separate settings for each individual speaker, adjusting for installation under different conditions and bringing out the best sound quality in any environment.

Enjoy high-quality sound wirelessly

The SA-C600 can playback high-resolution music wirelessly. It supports not only Bluetooth® and AirPlay 2, but also Spotify Connect®, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and more, and comes with Chromecast built-in™.

Compatible with MQA

The SA-C600 supports MQA and can playback MQA-CD and MQA files downloaded from music streaming services with outstanding sound quality.

Designed for Sophisticated Music Listening Experience

The design of the SA-C600 incorporates texture, dimensions, and materials from Technics turntables to ensure a timeless, elegant aesthetic in your listening space.

Premium Class Speaker

The Technics SB-C600 Premium Class speaker system recreates a spacious, 'concert hall' experience in the home. The perfect complement for the SA-C600 Network Receiver.

Advanced Phase Precision Driver

The SB-C600's 2-way coaxial speaker unit offers clear sound image localisation regardless of the listening position. A point sound source concept is used to achieve enhanced spatial articulation providing full-range coverage and high-quality sound.

To realise this, a coaxial configuration was adopted and combined with a uniquely shaped Linear Phase Plug and Smooth Flow Diaphragm allowing alignment of the phases with the added benefit of minimal sound reflection. The result is an aligned spherical wave that delivers radiated sound with outstanding spatial clarity.

Linear Phase Plug

The uniquely shaped linear phase plug suppresses unwanted phase disturbance, enabling a seamless integration of mid and high range, with a natural sound free distortion.

Smooth Flow Diaphragm

The SB-C600s speakers feature a woofer diaphragm design to achieve a wide sound stage with smooth and rich mid to high frequency range. Its shallow shape and smooth edge reduce reflection and creates minimal disturbance to the sound waves radiating from the diaphragm.

The SB-C600 speakers produce excellent frequency response and phase characteristics, with the additional benefit of wide directivity, suitable for a broad range of music genres.

Smooth Flow Port

Traditional bass reflex ports produce a large air current vortex that induces annoying high-frequency noise. To solve this problem, Technics employed flow analysis, as used in the design of aeroplane wings, to create an optimal cross-sectional shape for the port. The optimally designed port removes the airflow disturbance at the opening, ensuring high-quality bass reproduction with minimum noise and superb response.

Solid Cabinet Construction

Careful consideration has been given to the architecture, materials, and construction of the speaker cabinet to minimise undesirable vibration and ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio.

The internal architecture utilises a series of vents to ensure the smooth flow of sound radiating from the back of the speaker units to improve response while maintaining low resonance and high rigidity within the cabinet.

Balanced Driver Mounting Architecture

To realise a composed, low-distortion sound, the SB-C600 utilises the same “Balanced Driver Mount Architecture” design as seen in the Grand Class SB-G90M2 speaker system.

The newly designed speaker mount baffle increases the rigidity of the entire cabinet, maximising its output clarity.

Other Technologies

High Quality Parts

High-quality parts are used throughout the SB-C600 including polypropylene film capacitors, OFC wires, and robust brass speaker terminals.

All Aluminium Diaphragms

The woofer and tweeter diaphragm are made of an alumite-treated aluminium material which produces a unified tonal quality and balanced sound.

Highly Optimised Components

The attention to detail to achieve accurate sound image localisation, extends to structural parts such as spacers and wire grommets to ensure elimination of undesirable vibrations and noise.

Matte Black Finish

The front baffle of the SB-C600’s enclosure is coated with matte paint mixed with powder for a sophisticated, yet subtle finish.
