Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Technics SC-C70MK2 Ottava?
A: The Technics SC-C70MK2 Ottava is a Premium Class all-in-one hi-fi system combining three JENO Engine full digital amplifiers in a 2.1-channel configuration (30 Wpc front, 40 W subwoofer), newly developed speaker units with acoustic lens, a built-in CD player, Space Tune Auto room correction with built-in microphone, Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music, Bluetooth, FM and DAB radio, and USB and network hi-res playback up to DSD 11.2 MHz, all in a single compact chassis.

Q: Does the SC-C70MK2 need external speakers?
A: No. The SC-C70MK2 is a fully self-contained system with all speaker drivers, amplifiers, and sources built in. The left and right speakers, tweeters, and subwoofer are all integrated into the single chassis. No external speakers, amplifier, or additional components are required.

Q: What is Space Tune Auto and how does it work?
A: Space Tune Auto uses a microphone built into the SC-C70MK2 to play test tones, measure the distance to walls, and analyse room reflections. It then applies automatic digital optimisation to the sound field based on those measurements. For greater precision at the listening position, the Technics Audio Centre iOS app uses the iPhone or iPad's microphone for a more detailed room acoustic calibration.

Q: Can the SC-C70MK2 be used in a multi-room system?
A: Yes. The SC-C70MK2 supports multi-room audio via Chromecast, allowing synchronised playback with other Chromecast-enabled speakers throughout the home. The Technics Audio Centre app also enables multi-room playback with other compatible Technics devices across Bluetooth, AUX, optical, USB, and internet radio sources.

Q: Does the SC-C70MK2 support high-resolution audio?
A: Yes. The SC-C70MK2 plays DSD up to 11.2 MHz and PCM up to 384 kHz / 32-bit from USB storage and network (DLNA) sources. Re-master signal processing also upscales compressed and standard-resolution streaming audio for improved playback quality from services like Spotify.

Q: How does the SC-C70MK2 compare to the Technics SA-C600?
A: The SA-C600 is a separates-style network CD receiver that connects to external speakers and includes a MM phono stage, FM tuner, and JENO Engine amplification at 40 watts per channel. The SC-C70MK2 is a fully self-contained system with its own speaker drivers, acoustic lens, built-in subwoofer, Space Tune Auto room measurement, DAB radio, and a 2.1-channel amplifier configuration. Choose the SA-C600 if you want to connect your own speakers; choose the SC-C70MK2 for a complete plug-and-play hi-fi system.

Q: Where can I buy the Technics SC-C70MK2 in Toronto or Canada?
A: The Technics SC-C70MK2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, an authorised Technics dealer. Contact us to arrange a demonstration or to discuss whether the SC-C70MK2 or a separates-based Technics system better suits your room and listening preferences.

Three JENO Engines for 2.1-Channel Full Digital Amplification

Three JENO Engines for 2.1-Channel Full Digital Amplification

The SC-C70MK2 deploys three independent JENO Engine full digital amplifier units, one for the left channel, one for the right channel, and one dedicated to the subwoofer, so the 2.1-channel configuration is driven with the same jitter elimination and noise-shaping optimisation used in Technics' Grand Class separates. Each JENO Engine processes its signal entirely in the digital domain from input to output, maintaining faithful reproduction of high-resolution audio while preserving the soft texture of analogue recordings. A Twin Power Supply Circuit System provides a dedicated power supply for the amplifier circuits, independent from all other internal circuits, and an Optimally Activated Circuit system further reduces unnecessary power consumption and noise between circuits.

Newly Developed Speaker Units and Acoustic Lens

Newly Developed Speaker Units and Acoustic Lens

The SC-C70MK2's speaker system has been substantially reworked from the original C70. The 8 cm woofer units feature a reduced-weight voice coil, enhanced airflow, and increased diaphragm rigidity for superior midrange and high-frequency clarity. The 2 cm dome tweeter uses a lighter silk diaphragm for a more natural, lingering high-frequency character. The acoustic lens, a Technics signature element, has been redesigned for the new tweeter geometry to expand the reproduced sound field beyond what the enclosure size alone would suggest. The 12 cm subwoofer runs on its own dedicated JENO Engine with dual bass reflex port loading for deep, controlled low-frequency extension.

Space Tune Auto with Built-In Measurement Microphone

Space Tune Auto with Built-In Measurement Microphone

Space Tune Auto uses a microphone built into the SC-C70MK2 to measure test tones, analyse the distance to walls, and assess the acoustic effect of reflections in the listening environment, then automatically optimises the sound field without manual adjustment. For greater precision, the Technics Audio Centre app allows calibration using the microphone in a connected iOS device, enabling room acoustic analysis from the listening position. Three manual Space Tune presets, Free, Near the Wall, and Near the Corner, are also available from the front panel for quick adjustment without the app.
