DENON

DENON originated in 1910 in Japan as Nippon Chokusonki Shokai, later merging into Nippon Columbia. The name DENON was adopted from Japan Denki Onkyo, a manufacturer of broadcast recording devices.

DENON was a pioneer in digital recording, inventing the PCM digital recorder (DN-023R) in 1972 to make master recordings years before the Compact Disc was released.

Between 1970 and 1995, DENON excelled across phono cartridges, turntables, amplification, and digital media. Notable models include the DL-103 moving coil cartridge (originally developed for NHK radio), the DP-59L direct-drive turntable with servo tonearm, the PMA-2000 precision integrated amplifier, and high-end CD players like the DCD-3560.
