Mini Component System

RCD-M33 CD Receiver + SC-M53 Loudspeaker
Remarkable Sound from a Compact System
Building on the basic design of Denon's critically acclaimed D-M31 and D-M30, Denon engineers have continued to refine design details and parts through repeated tests in order to achieve an even higher level of sonic perfection. These engineers have also collaborated with European sound designers and technicians to develop a new speaker system that would faithfully deliver the improved sound quality from the D-M33, Denon's latest micro Hi-Fi system. The D-M33 not only plays CDs but a variety of other sources such as MP3 and WMA sound files as well, in the rich quality of sound that has made the Denon name so famous.
I The D-M33 inherits Denon technology from high-end models to faithfully reproduce the original sound. Capacitors developed for high-quality audio have been used in the circuitry of the power amp that determines sound quality and in the D/A converter section that converts the digital signal from the CD into an analog signal. In addition, the D-M33's high-class separate components feature Burr-Brown D/A converters from Texas Instruments Inc. that are well known for their superior sonic performance. The converters faithfully preserve both the powerful dynamics and the delicate nuances of sound as they convert the CD's digital signals into analog form for the speakers. I MP3 and WMA playback In addition to CD and radio sound sources, the D-M33 also plays MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD-R or CD-RW media. To play these discs, simply load it and push the Play button. You can also select a folder on the disc and just play the files in that folder. When a file is played, the artist name, song title, track number, album name and other information is displayed. Repeat or Random playback is also possible. I S.D.B.

I Hi-Fi Speaker system with the New European Tuning The SC-M53 is a speaker system with high sound quality that has been newly tuned for the RCD-M33. The bass driver has an inverted-profile double layer cone. This one-piece design does not use a centre-cap and therefore provides greater rigidity across the surface of the bass cone. Newly-developed drive unit As shown in figure 1, the driver uses an inverted-profile double layer cone. Detailed finite element analysis was used to find the optimum thickness on each part of the subcone and the best connection point between main cone and voice coil. This design controls the break-up modes of the cone for a more stable sound. Figure 2 shows an analysis of the woofer diaphragm at 1.4 kHz. Piston motion is uniform over the entire diaphragm even at this frequency which is high for a woofer. In addition, the secondary cone has not been bonded to the edge of the driver in order to optimize control over vibration to the outer perimeter. This design thoroughly minimizes influences on the secondary cone that actually emits the sound. Speaker cabinet The speaker cabinet is constructed with MDF material. The acoustic design of the cabinet was optimized through laser scan measurements of vibration in the cabinet. The cabinet also features a white wood grain finish that is often used in northern European furniture. Careful attention has been given to the rear of the speakers as well, where higher quality 5-way binding terminals are featured. Network An acoustic fourth order LCR filter has been used for the network to obtain optimum phase matching between the woofer and tweeter.

D-M30 Series

CDR-M30

CD-R/CD-RW Recorder
Micro Systems Designed For The Way You Live
Components in the D-M30 series are only 210 mm wide, yet they are endowed with circuitry for superior quality sound and sport an attractive design that blends easily with any interior. The front panel is made of silver aluminum, and a half mirror has been added to the display window to enhance the appearance. The UD-M30 includes the high-end Source Direct function, and the audio and power circuits in all components of the series feature highly-acclaimed DENON technology to ensure that the sound you hear is perfectly smooth and transparent. The UD-M30 CD receiver can be connected to the optional CDR-M30 CD-R recorder if desired. The remote controller that comes with
the UD-M30 can also be used to operate the basic functions of the optional unit.
with Optional Remote Controller
Micro-Size CD Recorder for High Quality Digital Recording
The CD is probably the easiest way to listen to music wherever you go. Just about everyone has a CD player these days, so it would be wonderful if you could also record that high-quality digital sound onto CDs, not just play it back. On this CD, you could record only the music you want to listen, and play it in your car or on your portable player as well as at home. If you use a CD-RW disc, you can record on it as many times as you like. And of course, DENON makes sure the quality of the sound is no different from that of conventional CDs.
