What am I looking at here, T3?

This is the Technics OTTAVA f SC-70, also known as the OTTAVA forte, a premium all-in-one micro hi-fi music system with aluminium touch keys. It’s here to fill your home with nuanced sound and offers wired and wireless connection­s, plus DAB, DAB+ and FM radio, internet radio, a top-loading CD player and support for hi-res audio.

Nice! Tell me more about the sound.

The OTTAVA f uses Technics’ JENO Engines and Emotive Acoustic Technology to produce a full-bodied, distortion- and jitter-free sound loaded with sumptuous bass, detailed mids and delicate trebles. Load-Adaptive Phase Calibratio­n also ensures precise audio alignment with the system’s loudspeake­rs.

So I can position it anywhere?

Yes, thanks to Technics’ Space Tune (with three EQ presets), which tweaks the best-possible sound from the OTTAVA f depending on where the system is positioned: boxed in a corner, near a wall or positioned ‘ freely’ on a table.

And it also offers wireless connectivi­ty, right?

Right. There’s built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability, so you can pair the system with your smartphone or tablet to stream music from a site or from your own library. The OTTAVA f is compatible with Apple AirPlay, too. There’s also a USB port, an Ethernet port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

I want this. When is it coming out?

We want one too! The Technics OTTAVA f SC-70 is available to buy now from John Lewis.
