Ready for your digital music files
Blaupunkt's Madrid 210 CD receiver gives you a USB port for plugging in storage devices full of music (no iPod® controls) — just plug in and take control of your music from the receiver's controls. This receiver will play all your CDs, including discs loaded with MP3 or WMA files. You can also plug a satellite radio or almost any other audio source into the front-panel auxiliary input.
Sound controls and system expansion
The Madrid belts out plenty of power, and you can tweak the sound with a 3-band parametric equalizer that lets you select specific frequencies to boost or cut. If you want more kick, the two pairs of preamp outputs make it easy to add external amps or a powered sub and an amp.
Note: We made a special purchase on this Blaupunkt receiver, and it's a great deal. Keep in mind that you'll have to activate the AM tuner and reset the FM tuner for American stations — the process is explained in the manual. Also, this receiver does not come with a warranty, but it is covered by our 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
