Know before you buy
Yes, the G-7700 includes a dedicated phono input specifically designed for MM (moving magnet) cartridges, making it a great choice for vinyl setups.
This receiver is designed to drive speakers with a minimum impedance of 8 ohms. Using speakers with lower impedance may cause the unit to overheat or trigger protection circuits.
The dedicated microphone input is a standard feature on this model, allowing you to plug in a microphone directly. However, it is intended for basic amplification rather than professional-grade mixing.
This means the unit has been functionally tested and confirmed to be working at the time of inspection, but it is being sold without a long-term warranty or return policy. We recommend ensuring your setup is compatible before purchase.
The unit weighs 18kg (approximately 40 lbs) and measures 505 x 182 x 422mm. Due to its substantial weight and depth, ensure your shelving or audio rack is sturdy and has enough clearance for proper ventilation.
With 120 watts per channel and a low total harmonic distortion of 0.025%, this receiver provides plenty of clean power to drive most vintage and modern bookshelf or floor-standing speakers with ease.
