Denon Smart S-52DAB
Wi-Fi Table Radio
Smart Network Streaming - CD - iPod - Internet Radio - USB
The most technically advanced ‘radio’ on the planet
The S-52DAB goes beyond other ‘table radios’ with Total
Network Connectivity and remarkable levels of audio performance. This
Smart Radio takes music from just about any source, anywhere and is
more of a one-box Hi-fi system that just a radio. The S-52DAB features
Networking and Software from Denon’s £2000+ AV Receivers
and sound quality from Denon Hi-fi.
As a Networked System, the S-52DAB will stream music wirelessly from
MACs and PCs, Internet Radio and Network Attached Storage. The USB
port adds the use of USB hard drives and the ability to play music
from USB memory sticks and MP3 players. The 52 can decode not just
popular MP3 and WMA formats but also AAC, m4a, WAV and FLAC (Free
Lossless Audio Codec). A 3.5mm input on the front panel caters for
other portables.
In addition to the powerful network and streaming features, there
is DAB and FM/AM Radio, a built-in CD/MP3/WMA Player and concealed
on the top panel is an iPod dock, ready to take all 3G+ iPods including
the latest Classic, Nano & Touch etc.
The S-52DAB delivers room filling levels of crisp, clean sound with
remarkably powerful bass. It is no mean feat to achieve impressive
stereo reproduction within such a confined space using speakers that
are permanently integrated into the system. The key is the ‘Blackfin’
DSP from Analog Devices and exclusive Audyssey technology, Bass XT,
Dynamic EQ and Spatial EQ. Denon uses the three highly effective algorithms
to optimise sound quality, and is the first manufacturer to do so.
A significant share of the impressive sound quality is also attributable
to Hi-fi oriented design and sophisticated speakers. Each of the separate
speaker houses a powerful 70 mm long-stroke driver, supported by an
additional 80 mm passive radiator, which is integrated into the bottom
of the cabinet. Together these produces amazingly full-bodied, mature
sound from the compact cabinet.
