Denon is a Japanese electronics company that originated Digital Audio technology, while specializing in manufacturing of high-fidelity professional and consumer audio equipment. For many decades, Denon was a brand name of Nippon-Columbia, including the Nippon Columbia record label. In 2001 Denon was spun off as a separate company with 98% held by Ripplewood Holdings and 2% by Hitachi. In 2002 Denon merged with Marantz to form D&M Holdings. The Denon brand came from a merger of Denki Onkyo and others in 1939.
Denon started making twin DJ CD players in the early 90s. Their first ranges included the DN1000F, DN2000F and the DN2500F. They also made the world's only twin MiniDisc player designed for DJ use. Their latest product range includes the Denon DN-D4500, a wide selection of DJ mixer and most recently high-end DJ headphones. They are also known for high-end AV Receivers and Moving coil phono cartridges.
Two M-series models, the Denon M31 and M30, have been the most successful radio hi-fi's for the last 4 years. They have upgraded the award winning system with the all new Denon M35 DAB which has DAB radio capability. It also boasts an FM tuner, has MP3 and WMA capability, and a CD player.
