Micro HiFi systems such as the new Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S are very popular with many users, as they offer the possibility of consuming music in the smallest of spaces in the most varied of ways.

CD receivers of the latest design – Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S

Sticking to classic categories, the two new systems Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S would have to be described as CD receivers, and in a very compact form.

First of all, both systems have an audio CD player as a source, plus a radio with FM including RDS, and DAB+. For both types of reception, the systems each offer 20 station memories, so you can call up your favourite stations at the touch of a button.

USB ports on both the Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S provide another option for easy music playback, allowing you to use the corresponding storage media directly as a source.

Bluetooth must not be missing

Smartphones, tablets and notebooks can also be connected to the systems in a flash, thanks to Bluetooth.

If you want to connect analogue sources, you can also do so via a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack as an AUX input.

Music streaming via network

Of course, you can also integrate the Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S into the network, in which case Internet radio is also available. Podcasts can also be accessed, with a further 40 storage locations for preferred stations or content.

Both systems also allow direct access to the most popular streaming service, Spotify, and are designed for Spotify Connect. In the end, only the Spotify app is needed to directly select the two systems Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-7000S and Kenwood Smart Micro HiFi System M-9000S and play them back.

Nevertheless, the manufacturer refers to another app for convenient control of the two micro hi-fi systems, namely the free UNDOK app.

A suitable remote control is also included in the scope of delivery, and even direct control of the units is possible via a generously dimensioned display.

This dimmable TFT colour display has a diagonal of about seven centimetres and provides all relevant information.
