Receiver Sound System

I'd been looking for a stereo receiver to incorporate with my existing sound system and this Tree Receiver fit the bill.

We got two sets of rack mount receivers, plus a on camera receiver, so 5 receivers in total. We got two handheld and two lavalier mics with transmitters, plus a headset mic for one of the transmitters. The two rack mount unit connects together to a perfect 1U unit. The user-friendlyness of this system is fantastic. No channel choice, just plug and play. You pair each transmitter and receiver like it was a wireless keyboard. If you only buy on system, they are paired out of the box. The power button doubles as mute button and keeps the RF alive, but mutes the sound, giving the user the ability to control the sound, without worrying the sound guy if the unit is on and working. The on-camera receiver, both outputs balanced and un-balanced signal, allowing us to use it both on our Sony A7s and on our Sony PXW-Z100, without conversion cables. The on-camera receiver is also rechargeable via standard USB cable. Best of all, and most importantly: Sound is spot on!

I wanted a modern receiver that would handle my 5.1 setup and allow me to do everything through eARC. Having tried another brand and the bugs it's brought, I am super pleased to report that the Cinema 60 works exactly the way I expect it to and exactly the way I was hoping it would. The sound signature smoothes out what were rough edges from my old receiver. Through my Revel Performa 3 speaker system, I spent 3 years worried I had screwed up swapping speakers but I find this pairing allows the Revels to do what they are good at without getting harsh. I feel maybe it's a 4.5 star just because in the short month I had a competing brand I think that one had a slight edge on sound. But let's be clear - the Cinema 60 sounds great and I like my music again. I'm willing to trade that slight difference for a flawless operational experience. The Marantz went right into my system and just worked. Like... it just works. There's a lot of value in that statement I've learned.

I actually replaced a Sony 1040 receiver with this because of upgrading our TV and Blu-Ray to 4K HDR. We use all Sony products except for our small surround system speakers which are Klipsch. I was concerned about going from top of the line to entry level, but all we have is a small 5.1 living room system. We suffered no loss of sound quality whatsoever and more power than we could ever need. Works perfectly with our Apple TV. Both picture and sound could not be better. Highly recommend this perfect little receiver!!!

I used this box to interface an on-stage Bluetooth audio receiver to the sound system at a week-long conference. It worked great and didn't have any issues!

For hassle free, simple and reliable sound, this system is perfect. I plug the receiver into a portable battery, and use a Bose S1Pro speaker for a 100% mobile, battery powered system.

I added this extra receiver pack to my order of the CAD GXLIEM4 Quad-mix system, as I'm expecting to have an extra session player or two joining my band on stage. See my review for the GXLIEM4 system in general. The sound quality comes close to that of a Shure system that I used to use, and I love that you can add as many additional receiver packs as needed to the system, you just have to share between 4-mixes (which is like having an embarrassment of riches). The earbuds that come with it sound good and get the job done, but it's easy to upgrade those and find some that sound even better. I walked from my basement into my garage and out front of my house without experiencing any dropouts. The volume control is nice, though I found that you could max it out on the pack and still need a bit more volume from the board. Balance it out to work for you. I'm driving a little more volume from our board so that we can make volume adjustments up and down on our packs as needed. These packs are super easy to pair with their GXLIEM systems and so far the battery life has been really good. They do feel a little more flimsy than my old Shure system (plastic build instead of metal) but as long as you take care of them they'll be fine. Very affordable to replace or get an extended warranty if something happens to it. Overall I'm very excited to have this system and my band mates really enjoy being wireless!

Remember to get the CP8306 Adapter Cable if you need XLR output or Rode SC7 if you need to use it with iPhone/FilmIC Best of all, and most importantly: Sound is spot on!

I went from a 5 speaker surround sound system to these speakers and they're much better. I love to getting rid of all my extra speakers wires and receiver and being able to Bluetooth to the speakers is great also.

With vinyl records coming back, I wanted to upgrade my sound system. This receiver, along with some decent 100 watt speakers sure did the trick. I have always been a fan of Sony products, and this did not disappoint. For a system on a budget, I highly recommend it.
