Renowned Japanese audio brand Denon has introduced its latest product, the Denon Home Amp. Bearing a strong resemblance to the recently released Marantz MODEL M1, the Home Amp is a classic stereo audio system fully compatible with the HEOS wireless audio system used by both Denon and Marantz, reflecting the shared technology between these brands.
Features and Functionality
The Denon Home Amp integrates the HEOS system into a traditional stereo setup, requiring only a pair of speakers to complete the system.
This makes it an excellent option for utilizing older speakers you may have upgraded from. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement in various spaces, such as kitchens or bedrooms.
Technical Specifications
Equipped with a built-in amplifier, the Denon Home Amp delivers 100W per channel at 8Ω, with circuitry finely tuned by the Denon Sound Master.
It also features an HDMI eARC input, allowing the Home Amp to enhance TV audio and be controlled via a TV remote, offering a powerful alternative to traditional soundbars.
Connectivity and Multi-Room Capabilities
In addition to speaker outputs, the Home Amp includes a subwoofer output for adding a powered subwoofer, enhancing the low-end frequencies for a more immersive movie-watching experience.
Its compatibility with the HEOS system enables it to be part of a multi-room wireless streaming setup, supporting up to 64 zones with Hi-Res audio streaming. The compact design allows it to fit easily into a rack system, with two Home Amps occupying the same width as a standard rack.
Networking and Integration
The Denon Home Amp seamlessly networks with other HEOS-enabled devices, including Denon and Marantz AV Receivers, offering a cohesive and integrated audio experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Denon Home Amp is available for purchase through authorized Denon retailers and online at www.Denon.com, priced at $799 / £699 / €799.
