Denons History
Denons heritage extends back to the dawn of music reproduction. Founded in 1910, Denon was both the first record company in Japan and the first audio company in Japan. Denon is one of the few companies that can trace its ancestry to both Columbia (CBS) and Deutsch Gramophone. It was the Deutsch Gramophone group that founded Denons parent company as Japan Gramophone, in 1910. Under the brand name Nipponophone, we became Japans first record label and produced Japans first record player. In 1927, Japan Gramophone was purchased by Columbia Gramophone Ltd, and given its then name, Nippon Columbia. The company continued to serve the Far East market with records and players, and began to branch out into radio broadcast equipment. An important early product was the worlds first electric direct drive turntable, in 1939. In 1951, Nippon Columbia developed the worlds first stereo moving-coil cartridge. As home audio began to grow, Nippon Columbia decided to create a new brand of consumer and pro audio products. In 1963, they adopted the brand name "DENON" which was used by professional products since 1938, This year also heralded the commencement of sales of the DL-103 phone cartridge, one of the longest running products in audio history. Still used by broadcasters and audiophiles today, it spawned the development of a series of outstanding MC cartridges. In 1971 Denon commenced sales of hi-fi audio components, including turntables, amplifiers, tuners and loudspeakers. 1972 saw the development of the worlds first PCM digital recorder for regular studio recording use, thus launching the digital audio revolution. Commenced sales of PCM records. 2010 will see Denon celebrate 100 years of manufacturing quality audio products. Unlike any other manufacturer of consumer electronics Denon have been involved of every aspect of audio, including operating their own recording studios, their own recording label, manufacturing recording studio equipment, manufacturing the software itself and finally the consumer electronics hardware to play it back in consumers homes. This involvement in every aspect of the audio chain places Denon in a unique position when it comes to quality audio playback.

AL24 Processing
Denon have been at the forefront of Digital audio since its inception. Denon engineers developed the first practical PCM recorder in 1972. The benefits of digital audio are numerous but Denon have always been concerned with noise which is caused by the 16bit / 44.1kHz quantization of PCM

Denons First PCM Recorder 1972

Denon were determined to tackle the problem of quantization noise that remained in digital audio, and developed: ALPHA (adaptive line pattern harmonised algorithm), Alpha is a technology that reproduced 16-bit data with 20-bit quality and it soon became a favourite with audiophiles around the world. This revolutionary technology for improving PCM playback has been a cornerstone to Denons philosophy on Audio quality Denons ALPHA technologies have been under constant redevelopment and today AL24 processing reproduces 16bit data at 24bit quality and AL24 Processing Plus supports 192kHz sampling frequencies.

Jitter Reducer
What is Jitter?
During the packet processing of a digital audio stream digital jitter is introduced, it lowers dynamic range and increases distortion

Since the inception of digital audio, engineers have continually struggled to counter the effects of digital jitter on audio quality. Denons Audio engineers have developed a new process called Jitter reducer which provides a dramatic reduction in digital jitter with very significant improvements in dynamic range and reduction in distortion levels. The process is automatic and works on all digital inputs such as coaxial, optical, USB and HDMI and even analogue signals that are converted to digital internally.

Tech Tip

Compressed Audio Restorer

The most common audio source in todays world is the iPod This is great for convenience but devices such as the iPod and other MP3/WMA portable music players compress the music files down to very small file sizes to fit more music onto these tiny units, this can dramatically reduce the fidelity of the music.

Typically when an MP3/AAC encoder compresses a song the first casualty are the harmonics. Music is not made up of single frequencies but is rather a combination of harmonics created by the instruments being played. Some instruments can have as many as 20 or 30 harmonics for each note played. To keep the files sizes on your iPod smaller these harmonics are sacrificed to make space. Denons Compressed Audio Restorer does not just add some high frequencies to give the perception of a better sound it actually analyses the compressed music and RESTORES the missing harmonics therefore delivering a more natural and sonically superior rendition of the original song

Pure Audio Construction:

Is a group of technologies and design concepts that ensure all Denon AV receivers not only deliver cutting edge digital processing for all audio and video signals but that these premium digital processors are supported by industry best analogue design and construction to deliver Home Entertainment at its best. Block design:
In Denon AV receivers the Denon engineers go to great lengths to ensure that all the different types of signals are separated and shielded from each other to prevent and minimise any mutual interference between signals to deliver a cleaner distortion free sound and picture.

Direct Mechanical Ground:

Denon AV receivers are built with a rigid vibration resistant chassis that effectively eliminates any adverse influences on sound and video quality as well long term performance and durability. This design concept is called Direct Mechanical Ground where the mains transformer and heatsink are grounded and fastened to the chassis directly across the front feet to form an extremely rigid construction.

Independent Power supplies:

Denon AV receivers utilise separate power supplies for the amplifier section and a separate power supply for the CPU. The extra large mains transformer employs a design concept called a Short ring which is an extra external layer of cooper shielding around the transformer coil to reduce magnetic emissions which can add unwanted noise and distortion

Discrete Output Power transistors

All Denon Audio Video (AV) receivers use completely Discrete Output Power transistors for each channel to deliver true Hi-Fi performance sound quality from all their AV receivers. This design guarantees that the sound quality and dynamics is the same for each channel all the time regardless of what might be happening in another channel. As an example centre channel performance is maintained even if an explosion is happening in the left hand channels. It is quite common for some competitors AV Receivers to use an IC based power output stage which is very cost effective and can generate lots of volumes but with bad dynamics and increased distortion. Even the entry point AV receiver from Denon use Discrete Output Power transistors on all channels.
